A Boston Terrier is a great choice in breed for your mom.

Boston Terriers are very smart, active and so lovable. Start training early because they sometimes can take longer to train then other breeds, depending on the dog. My sister has a Boston Terrier and she was trained to pee on the paper when we got her at six weeks old, by the end of the next week she was off the paper and going to the washroom outside.

She is now 5 months old and is the best little dog in the world. She is so smart she knows her basic commands, and has learned a couple of other tricks her fave being a summersalt. She is started in agility and is pretty good. She is one big couch potatoe and loves to just sit and snuggle with anyone who is willing to lend her thier lap.

I think your mother would be very happy with a Boston Terrier, is she an older lady ? They are the perfect companion for older people, I know alot of people in there 60's who have a Boston and they don't think they could live without them.

This is my sisters Boston Reegan at 9 weeks with my hound Hannah.



They are the best of friends, Bostons get along great with other dogs and cats and are excellent with children.

Listen to me I sound like a boston terrier door to door sales women but honestly I really think it would be a great dog for her. I don't want to start a fight but I think Lori V. is wrong in her opinion on the boston, just because one dog is like that doesn't mean they all are. It sounds to me like your friends boston wasn't properly trained.

Talk to other Boston Terrier owners and if you think they would fit into your mothers life style then I think you should get one.
