I have a pomerarian, a blue healer, border coller, welsh corgie, and a lab.
3 of them are farm working dogs - at least they try to be.

I dont think there is any limit to the number of things this dog can learn.

Wow! How did you teach them to do all that?

Japonica, your 2 Bostons look so much like mine. For a second or two I thought they were mine ... until I saw the red collars...lol.

Molly is my best friend and she is a yorkiepoo. I know I sound like a doggie mom but she is a perfect little dog. I wish I could clone her :-D

Is it wrong that I just fell in love with your dog? :)

We are now fostering a Boston Terrier named Buddy. We lost our Louie 3 months ago and have been trying to find a brother for our two girls. I put in adoption papers at North Texas Boston Terrier rescue to find a dog. We wanted a young dog, but not a puppy. They finally found someone to come and inspect our home the day after we got a call from another local group who was looking for foster parents of a brindle boston who was picked up as a stray in a small town near where Louie was found. He had been hit by a car and had a broken leg which has been repaired. We took him in (he was having problems as an alpha male). We have had him 4 days now and his Big sister Lexie has shown him all the ropes.....Looks like he may have found a permanent home......

I think that is so wonderful of you to take the little Boston in and give him a home. I love Bostons and have 2 of them, Rocky and Rosco, who are brothers. We also rescued a little terrier last February someone had dumped out. It took us a few days to be able to capture him, but we finally did and he is a wonderful little dog...only weighs 7 lbs.

Buddy has moved in permanetly. Two weeks ago he had his first camping trip and had a good time. The pins that had been put in to repair his broken leg backed out and was causing him pain and swelling in the joint. My husband drove 75 miles back to our vet on Saturday to have the leg ex-rayed. $125 later he was on the way back to our RV with some anti inflamatory meds. Monday we took him to the rescue vet and they removed the pins as the leg was healed. Last night I took out the 4 stiches. He now only limps when he thinks he needs a treat. Rotten to the core in only a month. He now has moved from his pillow to my bed. I guess he won!!! He can't make a trip with his Dad on the big truck until he learns some manners on a lead. My guess he will get to go next trip. He is smart. He has pulled the wool over his two sisters. I may have to get a job to continue to buy new squeaky toys...they don't last long in a tug of war.

Sooo happy for Buddy. Give him hugs from me, please.
And thank you.

I love your little French Bull Dog!

I am owned by a Boston Terrier who is 5 years old and still a puppy. She is never more than two steps from me and always full of play. When I sit down, she is in my lap which is a lap full since she weighs 29 pounds. She has been a joy from day one. Oh and I have a 4 pound poodle mix who is the dog pack leader and watch dog.

Buddy has made his first trip on the big truck. His Dad says that he did pretty well for the first time. Since he is a mixed breed, my younger daughter thinks he is part French Bulldog. Who knows! But I think it might be a min boxer. He has the block head and the attention span of a two year old. For the first time in three years we have peaches on our tree. In the past the squirrels have cleaned the tree before anything ripened up. Buddy has put a alot of focus on repelng sqiurrels in our yard. He is really a mess! Next week his cousins are coming to spend the week...a chihuahua and a very old rat terrier. I'm sure I will regret this later.
