Stubborn Yet Bright

Bear in mind that although a Boston terrier can be trained quickly because of his intelligence the breed is known for stubbornness. According to some Boston Terrier information, some Boston terriers are difficult to housebreak, although most are housebroken by the age of 8 months.

Know that Boston terriers will grow to 15 to 17 inches and weigh between 10 and 25 pounds. Their life expectancy is usually not more than 12 years. Expect to pay between $300 and $1,500 for a purebred Boston terrier or more for a genetically tested dog or a puppy with full registration for breeding and showing. Ask the breeder about any available health guarantees.
