Boston Terrier
American gentleman — small, social, and brachycephalic.
Bostons are friendly, low-grooming, apartment-tolerant, and great with kids. The flat face means heat tolerance is limited. Eyes protrude and catch on everything.
What makes them, them
- 12–25 lb adult; short coat, low maintenance.
- Brachycephalic — exercise + heat needs careful management.
- Eye injuries (corneal ulcers, prolapsed gland) common.
- Cataracts hereditary in some lines.
Safety — what actually goes wrong
- Cool-weather walks only above 22°C; carry water.
- Saline eye rinse after dusty walks; corneal ulcers escalate fast.
- Tag visible — Bostons get picked up quickly when found.
