Before You Respond To That Boston Terrier Puppies For Sale Sign

By George Sanders


It is most likely that you are now in the market right now for a new pet or companion, in particular a dog. Earlier on in the day you may have seen a Boston Terrier puppies for sale sign and are intrigued about the prospect of getting one. Do read on however and finish off this article so that you can make a more informed choice.

Prices for the breed varies, on average you can find one for around the price range of 1000 dollars to 1500 dollars, although you may find some under the 1000 dollar range. These dogs are fairly hard to breed with most dying while still young, so it is good that you buy from a breeder with a good reputation.

When encountering the breed for the very first time, it may be mistaken for a French Bulldog due to its looks. It is fairly similar in looks due to its pug nose and its ears that are perennially erect. In fact, the terrier has a bit of bulldog blood as it was first bred between an English bulldog and a terrier.

Due to it having a pug nose, it will have the same problems that bulldogs and similar pug nosed breeds have. That is that its short breathing tubes will make it difficult for it to regulate its core body temperature in extreme climates. Thus this is not really a dog for you if you live in very hot tropical weather or subarctic cold weather as it may die.

This dog is also known to be very sensitive, so its living environment should be somewhat be less chaotic and not so noisy. It is a dog that is not so aggressive and does not exhibit alpha male tendencies like its bulldog forebears or cousins. Do not expect a lot of problems with it picking fights with other people or other animals, so it is fairly safe to keep with small children.

The breed is also very easy to groom as many call it a brush and go dog. It has a short coat and it also does not shed a lot of fur. This does not mean that it is hypoallergenic so you may need to check it out first and take precautions if you have any known allergies. Upon inspection they are called the American Gentleman since their coat looks like they are wearing a tuxedo.

Thirteen to fifteen years is the average lifespan of the Boston Terriers and this can be extended further with a proper diet and health maintenance. As they age however, they will have their share of eye problems. In terms of eating, they should not be given too much as they can get quite gluttonous and thus become overweight.

This article has thus shown you some general considerations and basic information that should be useful for you. Hopefully this article has also given you what you need to mull over before you make a final decision and commitment.
