Due to bulging eyes, Bostons are prone to Dry Eye, a lifelong condition that requires multiple eyes drops a day. Dry eyes can cause corneal abrasions and ulcers. A Boston terrier’s eyes are also prone to infection. Because they are flat on their faces, they can suffer from corneal ulcers and other serious problems.
Although Cosmo won Best of Breed and Best of Group at the Westminster Dog Show, he has yet to win the prestigious Westminster K.C. award. The honorable Judge James J. Materna and Imogene Brown praised the dog for his exemplary showmanship. As a result, Cosmo is the proud sire of Best of Breed at the Westminster Dog Show.

The Boston Terrier is an American breed, originally developed in the late 1800s. It was the first of ten made-in-America breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1893. They are known for their beauty and manners, and their short snouts make them prone to snoring. Bessie Edna Colp, who lobbied for the breed’s recognition, said that it was a perfect candidate for Westminster Dog Shows.
Although Boston Terriers have not won the Westminster Dog Show, they have won numerous other national and international dog shows.
Their devoted, playful personalities make them excellent companions for families and apartment dwellers. While Boston Terriers are a small breed, they are surprisingly strong and trainable. They form special bonds with their owners and are loyal to the whole family. However, it is still best to seek a breeder with a great temperament.
The Boston Terrier was originally not accepted into other groups of dogs because it lacked a specific purpose. The Boston Terrier was classified in the Non-Sporting Group. However, it has recently begun to make a comeback in the Westminster dog show. Its popularity has increased exponentially since the late 1800s. The Boston Terrier is now a recognized breed by the AKC. While its lineage is not entirely clear, it is related to the French Bulldog and the Bulldog.
The Boston Terrier gained popularity in the political arena, as many former presidents have owned the breed. Warren G. Harding named his dog “Hub”, and both had dogs named Rhett and Stubby. The latter is still the only dog to reach the rank of sergeant through combat in World War I. There are many other places where Boston Terriers are recognized in the U.S., and the Boston Terrier is no different.
The Boston Terrier has short hair, making grooming a breeze. Brushing them once or twice a week will remove loose hair and dirt, and stimulate the production of natural oils in their skin. Bathing them should be done every two to four weeks. In some cases, they may require bathing more frequently. But their coat will look beautiful with a glossy coat! And don’t forget to brush their teeth!
