Sounds like a perfect match Once someone makes up thier mind it's impossible to change it. But in all honesty your mother will be very happy with a boston. With a fenced in yard for the boston to play in they will be just fine. Your mom can sit out and read or garden or whatever and the boston can play and burn some energy. If your mother likes to take trips then she has pick a great breed, most bostons are car lovers and love to see and do new things.

Its a great idea to look at shelters and as Lori has said boston rescues. Boston Terriers are an expensive breed and if you can save a bostons life and save some money at the same time then double bonus for you

Good Luck !

Tanya can I just say please don't get dicouraged with Fritz. I will tell you this, Hannah my three year old beagle is very smart now she can learn new things in the snap of a finger. BUT when she was a puppy she was difficult to work with she just didn't have the attention span to take the time to learn something. You have to make it fun for them so they learn and have fun at the same time. Only work for ten to fifteen minutes at a time or else Fritz will get bored and you will get frustrated.

Trust me it works.

Good Luck !
