With his large round eyes, intelligent expression, and unique “tuxedo” coat, the Boston Terrier makes people fall in love with him at first sight. But get to know a Boston, and you’ll find there’s much more to love about the compact little guy. 1. The Boston Terrier is people-oriented, always preferring to be with you. He’s an eager playmate for children and just as happy being a docile companion to older folks. Bred to be a companion, he’d actually be miserable without considerable time and attention from his owners. Luckily, he’s so charming and entertaining that fans of the breed are happy to have his company. 2. The breed is known for being highly intelligent. They learn quickly and do well in dog sports like agility and flyball. They’re also quick to pick up tricks, although they do have a streak of terrier stubbornness. But it’s hard to stay annoyed with a Boston, especially when he looks at you with that intelligent, quizzical gaze.
