Those who have never run into Boston Terrier puppies are definitely missing out, they are bundles of humorous and curious energy bent on entertaining and adoring you.

Boston Terriers are a very curious breed of toy dog from the non sporting AKC group. Standing anywhere from 15 inches to about 17 inches in height you can find those under the breed standard as well as over. Normally weighing in around 10 to 25 pounds they’re considered the American Gentleman of the toy breeds.

While many toy breeds are rather fragile and petite, this sturdy little dog is known to be very good family members for families with teenagers and preteens. They love to be in the center of family gatherings and want to please at all times, this means a tone of voice is enough and any heavy hands should be avoided.

They are often seen in the common color combination of black and white, and yet other colors are accepted by the AKC. Their coat is short and they do not require frequent bathing, but a bit of a brush now and then will keep them shiny.

Boston Terrier puppies are just about like any other pup, curious, inquisitive and wanting to do the right thing, so training is a breeze if attention is paid to the small details.

The most important aspect of a Boston Terrier puppy is that they are still a baby, and just like other wee ones can become ill with too much excitement, a change in diet, or lifestyle. This means treating them like a baby and making sure they have down time and plenty of naps. You’ll also want to make sure they are eating small frequent meals and always have fresh water available.

While crate training is not an absolute necessity it can solve a myriad of problems, and not just bathroom ones either. A crate is a safe place for a pup to go and take a nap out from underfoot, and it also allows your puppy to decompress after a busy play session.

Judge your puppy’s activity level accordingly and allow them to head for the kennel when rest is needed. Also, make sure there is always fresh water near by, and you won’t have to worry about a dehydrated baby.

Of course, if you have not been to see your veterinarian since you puppy joined your household, it’s time to do so. Your veterinarian will get to know your pup, and set up a vaccination schedule. Make sure you’re on time for all booster shots, as a pup’s immunity is not up and running at full speed until they are at least four months of age. Also speak to your veterinarian concerning pet health and emergency insurance, you’ll want to know the policies they accept.

While Boston Terrier puppies will do very well in a home with older individuals, they may not do as well, with families with very young children. They have a very inquisitive nature and seem to find trouble just about anywhere, this means that you need to provide a very safe place for your Boston when your not home, and keep an eye on them when you are.

Follow through with your veterinarian’s recommendations, and be sure to look at the available pet insurance that can help defray the cost of major surgeries and emergency care. Then make sure your puppy has a safe place to spend time when you’re not at home, such as a crate, or puppy playpen.
