Those who have never run into Boston Terrier puppies are definitely missing out, they are bundles of humorous and curious energy bent on entertaining and adoring you.

The breed is considered a non sporting breed by the AKC, and can stand from 15-17 inches and weigh from 10 to about 25lbs according to breed specifics. But you'll also find a few that are over or under the AKC breed standards. These small dogs are fun to have around and are often referred to as the American Gentleman of the toys.

These are not small boned or petite little dogs, but instead are considered sturdy little dogs with a very playful attitude. They work very well for families with upper elementary grade children and offer a willingness to be immersed in the whole family. They love to please and take harsh criticism personally, in fact, it's best to scold rather than get heavy handed, as the tone of voice speaks to them very well.

Their coat and skin is easily managed as infrequent bathing and a quick brush will keep their partial coat glossy and shiny.

Boston Terrier puppies are just about like any other pup, curious, inquisitive and wanting to do the right thing, so training is a breeze if attention is paid to the small details.

The most important aspect of a Boston Terrier puppy is that they are still a baby, and just like other wee ones can become ill with too much excitement, a change in diet, or lifestyle. This means treating them like a baby and making sure they have down time and plenty of naps. You'll also want to make sure they are eating small frequent meals and always have fresh water available.

While crate training is not an absolute necessity it can solve a myriad of problems, and not just bathroom ones either. A crate is a safe place for a pup to go and take a nap out from underfoot, and it also allows your puppy to decompress after a busy play session.

Judge your puppy's activity level accordingly and allow them to head for the kennel when rest is needed. Also, make sure there is always fresh water near by, and you won't have to worry about a dehydrated baby.

If you have not already acquainted your puppy with your local veterinarian, there is no time to waste. Your Vet will recommend a vaccination schedule and you'll also want to find out what type of pet insurance you Vet accepts. It's important that you follow through on your Vet's vaccination schedule as your Boston's immunity system will not be in full swing until your pup is over 4 months of age. This means that even if your pup received one vaccination, they may not be immune and can get sick.

Boston Terrier puppies are an essentially good match for elder individuals or families that are active on a regular basis with out tiny children. They have a lively sense of humor and an inquisitive nature, this means keeping an eye on your puppy, and providing a safe place for them when you're not home.

Follow through with your veterinarian's recommendations, and be sure to look at the available pet insurance that can help defray the cost of major surgeries and emergency care. Then make sure your puppy has a safe place to spend time when you're not at home, such as a crate, or puppy playpen.
