 Bella the Boston Terrier

Bella

Dog's Name & Age: 

Bella, 16 months

In a Word, My Boston Terrier Is… 

Absolutely the best pet and so comical.

Best Characteristics of the Breed 

Dances, bounces, snuggles and loves the small heater I use.

Most Challenging Characteristics of the Breed 

The most challenging was housebreaking her. She can be stubborn.

When, Where and How I Got My Boston Terrier 

I got my puppy at age 7 weeks from a Boston Terrier and Pug breeder in St Helens, OR. Wonderful, caring breeder.

I'd Describe My Dog As… 

The most loving, fun, entertaining dog ever. Personality abounds with this breed. She even sat through the Beverly Hills Chihuahua and watched the entire movie. She plays with our Australian Shepherd all the time, and he adores her, yet, lets her know he is the boss.

She is a real scavenger and never refuses to leave any crumbs behind.

Advice 

  • If you don't care for the ears to stand erect, simply fold them over your fingers while watching TV with them. Take them everywhere with you, except in the summer because they overheat quickly.
