    While very true, the snorting, snoring, and farting will also become normal. The crazy eyes are spot on. My little guy just gave me the “look” and dove at me for crazy kisses and to try and chew on my ponytail. We love it.

    Always research your breeder. You need to find a good, responsible breeder to help with genetic issues.

    Brace yourself! Stubborn, sweet, and extremely emotionally needy. A Boston with too much energy and not enough attention will be destructive. They were breed to be companions, so being glued to you is what they crave. They will always be in your face, on your lap and be your shadow.

    All three of our Bostons have been a “what’s in it for me” with training. Bostons are positive reinforcement dogs, punishing them does nothing to stop the bad behavior. Our 8 month old uses pee as a weapon. If he is mad, he will potty right in front of you. Outside you’d think he solved world peace when he goes.

    Start with the Boston terrier club of America. Find out the top dogs that the breeder you are interested in shows. With simply the dogs name you should have an easy time finding their award records. Ask for vet references. Ask for referrals. Really educate yourself on breed standards and know what you are looking for. A breeder should do genetic testing on their adults for both patella and cataracts.
    Rule of thumb, if the breeder constantly has puppies available, they are breeding for money not the good of the breed. You should have to fill out an application, and provide your own references. A high end puppy is going to be expensive, if they are asking less then $1,000 for a “pet quality” puppy, I would question the background of the parents. Having a litter of puppies is extremely expensive.

    Always go meet the parents. Pay close attention to how the adults live. How clean is everything? Are the adults friendly, we’ll adjusted, treated like family? Are the adults active, clean, shiny thick coats, clear bright eyes?
