Boston Terrier Pup

A Boston Terrier pup is usually bought as a family companion for children or for the elderly. Although this breed was created for fighting in the pit with other dogs, nowadays it lacks its aggression and fighting drive and can be trusted with children. Boston Terriers are characterized by a clownish personality and a devotion to the whole family. They enjoy being in the center of attention and don’t like being left alone.

Only a well-bred and properly trained dog has the best characteristics of the breed. That’s why it’s very important to obtain a Boston Terrier pup from a responsible breeder who has a proper breeding program and produces only high quality dogs. Only devoted breed fanciers investigate the pedigree of the breeding stock and carefully plan each litter to avoid health problems and defects in the personality and conformation. Buying a Boston Terrier puppy from a good breeder means decreasing the risk of developing a genetic disorder in the adult dog. Serious breeders usually provide a life-long health guarantee. If a dog develops a hereditary illness later in life, they take it back.

In a good kennel, a Boston Terrier pup is given a basic canine socialization with the mother and littermates. A knowledgeable breeder will not sell a puppy under 2 months of age, because it will be difficult to socialize and train. All puppies in a good kennel are provided with proper care, socialization around various people, and basic obedience training. Prior to going to the new family, every puppy is given necessary vaccination. Pet quality puppies are spayed or neutered. Responsible breeders sell each puppy with a pedigree, health guarantee, and registration papers.

When buying a dog or a puppy from a pet store or a backyard breeder, you don’t get the best representative of the breed. Pet stores usually buy their dogs from puppy mills that produce purebreds massively without caring much about the improvement of the bloodline and the potential of every puppy. Puppy mills and backyard breeders keep their animals in small cages where they have no opportunity to exercise and play. A Boston Terrier pup from a pet store will be difficult to socialize and housetrain.
