A couple of months ago we went puppy shopping.I wanted something good with kids and one that would make a great companion for my hubby and myself.After weeks of checking ads and visits to the animal shelters I came across an ad for Boston Terrior pups.I called the lady and she said they were not registered and she was letting them go for $100.00.My best friend has a Boston and I always loved that dog so I made a bee line to her house.When I got there I noticed the pups didnt look like the ones Ive seen before.She reassuered me that they do come in brindle and some have a longer snout and dont have the bug eyes.Well as my puppy has gotten older he looks less and less like a Boston and more like a pitbull.The mother and father where black and white but their features looked like my puppy.Anyone got any idea what kind of dog Ive introduced to my family?By the way he does seem to have an aggressive nature to him.We are working on that with him.:rant
well, it does have the same coloring as ours... so I bet one of the dogs was a boston, but I'm lookin' at the shape of the face and that is not a boston face. Their noses are flat and their heads are fatter.
It almost looks like a pit mix. Puppies go thru an age when they try to figure out where they "fit in" in the family. You need to establish dominance, and that's why training is important. Pits are good dogs if they are raised right, so I wouldn't worry too much. Just teach him manners and it looks like you'll have a great dog on your hands. :thumb
Here's a pic of our AKC bostons... the male is on the left, He's the grandson of a national champion... so he's a better "show" of how the breed should look. Millie is definitely the more feminine side of the bostons she's pretty dainty.
boxers aren't aggresive at all, and pits can be aggresive, but if raised right alot of people swear by them.
If you don't feel comfortable give him to someone who will, your family safety should be your first concern.
Hes a good dog, runs around like he's on cocaine if he isnt sleeping. He is extremly aggresive for a young dog though. Where most puppies shy away from strangers and dont bark or act protective until they are older. He started acting this way by 2 months old:clap
BTW according to the woman when we went to get him, both parents were on site, and a few other Bostons. About 5 of them if I remember correctly. They were all a fair bit larger than most bostons weve seen since:confused
I thought he looked like our last boxer and he bites................all the time!
He has calmed down a lot since we got him towards the family. We are going to keep him, just trying to get a better idea of what possible temperment he might have.
Pugs generally are mild natured dogs especially with children, but yet we had one that was very agressive to everyone but me. Good thing her teeth never got big enough to do damage. Never trained to be that way. Just was.
