I love our dog Elvis, but once in a while I look online for information about other breeds that would be well-suited for our family. I think a Boston Terrier would be a great choice.

Boston Terriers are one of the most popular breeds in the United States, known for their sunny disposition. Because of their affectionate nature, the breed is known as the “American Gentleman”. Boston Terriers were bred to be companion dogs, and they are happiest when they are with their family members. They make an excellent house dog, and do well around children and other pets.

Boston Terriers do have one health issue related to their eyes, which are large and protruding. It is important to keep them out of the sun for long periods of time. I also learned something surprising from reading a Boston Terriers Dog Guide Article, which is that no dog should be allowed to ride in a car with their head out of the window, because the air pressure is bad for their eyes. I had no idea! Guess Elvis will have to keep his head inside the car from now on.

I know we won’t be getting a second dog any time soon, I have enough on my plate as it is, but one day I would love to find a shelter that has a Boston Terrier waiting for adoption and spend some time seeing if my instincts are right, that this would be a good breed of dog for our family to own.
