About the Boston Terrier

  The Boston Terrier was born and bred in the United States, which is how
   it got the nickname "American Gentleman."   As you probably guessed
   form its name, the breed's hometown is Boston, MA.

  The Boston Terrier came about by cross breeding a Bulldog and the now
   extinct White English Terrier.  This breed brings about the best of both
   worlds with its "spark of enthusiasm and health form the Terriers and the
   gentle sweetness and good sense of the Bulldog."  The breed "displays the
   entire range of temperaments form mellower or more stubborn Bulldog
   temperaments to the feistier, more-likely-to-be-dog-aggresseive Terrier
   attitude, with most Bostons falling somewhere in the lovable middle."
