In honor of our forefathers on this 4th of July holiday....

"The Boston Tea Party was an act of direct action protest by the American colonists against British Government in which they destroyed many crates of tea bricks belonging to the British East India Company on ships in Boston Harbor. The incident, which took place on Thursday, December 16, 1773, has been seen as helping to spark the American Revolution and remains to this day one of the most iconic events of the era."

History:

 The Boston Terrier is a native American breed that originated from crosses involving English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs and some terrier breeds. The breed was shown first in Boston, hence the name. The Boston Terrier was recognized by the AKC in 1893. Today's Boston Terrier is primarily a house pet and companion dog. 

Description:

A small, dark brindle-and-white or black-and-white dog with a smooth, unwrinkled broad head that looks somewhat like a Boxer's. The muzzle is short, topped with a full black nose. The body is slender with well-defined lines, with a build more like a terrier than like a bulldog. The expressive, wide-set eyes are very large, dark and rounded. The small, cropped ears are held erect. The short coat does not shed. 

Notes:

Can be difficult to housebreak. May wheeze, snore and drool. This breed does not tolerate the heat and is sensitive to anesthesia. Needs some regular exercise, but can overheat if pushed too far. Sensitive to temperature extremes. Basically odorless. An easy-care breed and outstanding pet companion. Beware--some badly bred Boston Terriers may have a bone defect in the skull that stunts brain growth, resulting in a retarded dog. Puppies often have difficult births because of the size and breadth of the head, and must be delivered by Cesarean section. Males who live together may fight. Because the eyes protrude, they may be easily damaged and are prone to corneal abrasions.

Personality:

Though bred at first for use in dog fights, today's Boston Terrier is a gentle, well-mannered, very affectionate indoor dog. He is receptive to patient, kindly training, though somewhat willful. Fine with children. Especially good with elderly people. Gentlemanly. A good watchdog.
