    DH and I have been planning to add a Boston Terrier to our collection of Boxers for quite awhile, and thinking this spring/summer might be great. It seems that they have very similar personalities to the boxers: silly, happy, affectionate, rambunctious.

    I've seen several pics on here of Bostons that are just tooooo cute. I'd love to hear about your experiences

    :-D

    I have "baby-sat" a Boston Terrier on occasion. He was a sweetheart, but all that grunting! And if you think Boxers are fart machines (you know they are), you haven't seen anything yet!

    I am owned by a Boston Terrier named Cow. He rules the house. yes, he is a fart machine, but we have worked on it to control it. We found some foods that suit him well. We have a pet store that has tons of free samples. We picked up a lot of them and found some that are good for him. Also, we give him 1/2 cut of plain yogurt every morning. He owns 4 humans, sleeps with me but follows DH during the day. Here is he:

    Aw, so cute!

    We cook for our dogs and have very little problem with gas passing unless we introduce something processed. So, I'm hopeful that this will work well with the new one, but if not...oh well!

    OMG, how old was he in the baby pic?

    I knew that picture would do the trick.

    Now I can go own to say that he is very smart, easy to train, well tempered and I can say, my best dog ever.

    My daughter has had 2 Bostons and LOVED them! Very loving, definately let you know if someone is around, but not excessive barkers.
    You won't be disappointed.

    I LOVE Bostons. Never owned one. But cute is cute, and all of the snorting and snoring is too funny. They are comical little harlequins, to be sure.
