Boston Terrier Information
Boston Terrier Description:The origin of the Boston Terrier lies in the USA. Nicknamed the “American Gentleman”, this breed dates back to 1870. A gentleman named Robert Hooper is credited with the development of this breed. It was in 1870 that Hooper got a bull and terrier type, named the Judge. This bull and terrier type was then crossbred with French Bulldog and hence, the earliest variety of Boston Terrier was born. Over the years, the breed was bred down in size by crossbreeding it with pit fighting dogs, hence giving birth to the present variety. The breed was first recognized by the AKC in 1893. |
