This is not a typo. The Boston Terrier belongs to this group and not the terrier group. I do not make the rules up as strange as it may be. This is very striking breed with strong shoulders and a boxy head. The Boston may be small at about 12 inches and sometimes even up to 25 lbs, but he sure makes up for it in other ways. This is a very easygoing dog with regard to grooming, eating, temperament and virtually all other categories. This breed is very energetic and, for lack of a better word, cheery. The Boston will make any family very happy as well as small children. A powerhouse in their own right, they make good protectors of the home.
