[QUOTE="Lil, post: 742214, member: 17309"] As the proud pet mom of two (one sadly has crossed the rainbow bridge) Boston Terriers, or Boston Terrors as we called them, I can say they may be considered laid-back as terriers go, but they are still definitely terriers. :) They are funny, feisty, happy, stubborn little dogs. Our son was like 8 or 9 when we got them and he was amused by their antics, but he wasn't one to really play with animals. Boston's are jumpers and kissers and it's just impossible to train them not to. They don't know anywhere to sit but on your lap...whether you want them there or not. Two of them together play ROUGH! Mac and Suzie used to pull each other across the floor by their cheeks!!! They sound like they're killing each other playing bitey-face...but they're just playing. They are not big gentle babies like the labs and other retrievers or boxers. Boxers are great kids dogs. But if they're trained right, Boston's are wonderful pets. Ours never snapped at a child, ever, (Mac could get cranky and snappy with grown-ups, but never children - we watched him like a hawk when he was in a mood) though they occasionally brought blood playing with each other. One thing, Bostons, and all of the pugged-nosed breeds, don't do well in extreme temperatures. They are air-conditioning dogs. [/QUOTE]
