high energy.
you have to put a sweater on them in cold weather and keep them out of hot weather. They aren't tolerant to temperature changes, will die.
GREAT personality.
worst gas EVER
HIGH ENERGY. In case you missed it.

I taught mine to roll over in 5 minutes.
High 5 in about 7 minutes.
Shake in the same, Sit and Stay relatively similar.

I can't get him to ring the bell to go out though. He has no accidents, but when he has to go out he just whines at the door and refuses to ring the fucking bell. That's probably my fault though, I'm not training him right or something.

Ugly as fuck.
Cute as hell for the same reason.

Not mine. The only way to get a peep out of him is to really rile him up.

Oh, and if you do get him riled up - he doesn't know his own strength. I'll take pics of his jaw muscles tomorrow if I remember.

A little "nip" will hurt you like you wouldn't believe, so keep your shit out of his mouth :D

It gets hot in Riverside, are you ready to run the AC all day while your at work to keep him comfortable?

I have had two bostons one died alittle while ago. Very quite mellow little dogs that are fun to play with. How the dog is depends on a few things, will it be a puppy or a adult? I rescued mine as adults. Are you a hyper person? Some dogs feed off of that. Will you be spending alot of time with the dog? Thats makes a huge difference? http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/bostonterrier.htm

seriously. They don't do well with extreme temps.


Personally, I think the personality is worth an extra $20 a month to keep the air on at home if that's what it takes, but you have to be prepared for it

You have provided a lot of good advice! My lady went a looked at them today, i guess they are very young, the one I may pick up in brindel.. I'll keep you updates, I need a little friend after having to get rid of my girls cat because of my damn allergies. How are these things when it comes to shedding?

no real shedding they are pretty light on grooming needs.

Get a Jack Russell Terrier instead! My mom had one and loved it! It's the same one that Jim Carrey had in the movie "The Mask"!
