Boston Terrier:
The Boston Terrier adapts perfectly to domestic life, but it still must have regular exercise. Several peculiarities should be noted: If it is too active and gets overheated, it has difficulty breathing, which could strain its heart. The Boston's short haired coat does not need much grooming, just a daily brushing and rub-down with a chomois will keep it clean and shiny. No other special care is required, beyond routine inspections for external parasites.
Average Lifespan Of The Boston Terrier: 14-16 Years
Average Weight: 25lbs.
