Boston Terrier

Boston Terrier Colorful Abstract Print Art The Boston Terrier is known as “American Gentleman” accepted in 1893 by the American Kennel club as a non-sporting breed. They are gentle, affectionate companions with tuxedo-like markings that earned them the nickname “American Gentleman”  They came into existence in the late 1800’s in Boston, Massachusetts.  There are varying stories about how the breed came to be.

One of these stories is that a Bostonian named Robert C. Hooper imported an Bulldog/English Terrier cross named Judge from England in 1865 because he reminded Hooper of a dog he’d had in his childhood.  Yet another story is that Hooper purchased Judge from another Bostonian, William O’Brian, around 1870. While we may never know which story is true, the fact is there was, indeed, a dog named Judge, and that from him, came the breed we know today as the Boston Terrier. They weren’t called Boston Terriers in the beginning.  They were called various names including bullet heads, round-headed bull and terriers, American terriers and Boston bulldogs. In 1889 about 30 owners of Boston Bull Terriers formed the American bull Terrier Club, and they called them Round Heads or Bull Terriers.  Bull Terrier and Bulldog fanciers objected to the name.  Since the Bulldog contingency had a lot of power with the American Kennel Club (AKC) at that time, the Boston Bull Terrier Fanciers decided that discretion was the better part of the valor and changed the name of their club to the Boston Terrier Club, in tribute to the birthplace of the breed. information derived from https://dogtime.com/dog-breeds/boston-terrier
