Terrier Dogs Training Tips

Archive for the ‘Boston Terrier Dogs’ Category

The Boston Terrier is often referred to as the American Gentleman for a number of reasons. The most obvious of those reasons is one of its coat color combinations: the black variety of the Boston Terrier will have a number of white patches on the muzzle, chest, underbelly or paws, lending to the look of a tuxedo. While the dog also comes in seal or brindle coat colors, the tuxedo is by far the most signature look of the breed. The American Gentleman pseudonym also stems from their personalities, which are gregarious but docile. The Boston Terrier is an easily trainable breed that is ideally suited for any living situation, from families with children to singles in apartments to the elderly.

People who have owned Boston Terrier know that the breed can thrive in many scenarios. With a loving personality, they are extremely affectionate and will spend all day by your side waiting for another head pat. It is said that the Boston Terrier will quickly become your best friend or a member of your family, and the dog does not seem to realize that it is not your human counterpart! The breed quickly develops in-depth relationships with its new family, and will be loyal to the end. This can result in some “guarding” behavior, in which the dog may bark or growl at strangers, but in general they will speedily warm up to anyone their owner accepts as well.

Strangely enough, the Boston Terrier was originally bred as a fighting dog, which is evidenced in its physical traits. However, the breed’s gentle demeanor soon won out and the Boston Terrier was instead bred to enhance its desirable traits as a companion and family dog. They are still excitable and observant, as are most terriers, though this breed is not recognized as a terrier and is classified in the AKC Non-Sporting Group as of 1893.

Boston Terriers are not a loud breed, which adds to their adaptability. They make a good pet for apartment living because of this trait and their small size. Many Boston Terriers will be content with a fun walk or some indoor playtime as their primary source of exercise, though a significant amount is needed. The Boston Terrier will be your constant companion and can compliment almost any lifestyle, though they do need lots of love and attention. Firm and early training is also recommended, because the Boston Terrier an become a very rambunctious and hard-to-handle ball of energy if not properly trained!

The Boston Terrier’s Mouth

Boston Terriers share many common dental characteristics with their human companions, including gum disease, gingivitis, periodontal disease, and tooth fractures.

There are several noted differences

• Boston terriers usually do not get cavities • An adult Boston Terrier has 44 teeth (humans have only 32) • A boston terriers eeth are designed for their carnivorous (meat-eating) diet and humans teeth are designed for their omnivorous (eating meat and vegetables) diets

Like humans, a Boston Terrier’s teeth can loosen in their sockets, opening the opportunity for infection. This infection can travel through the bloodstream and cause kidney and heart disease. Antibiotics can suppress the infection, but only tartar removal can prevent recurrence.

The second biggest problem for the Boston Terrier 8217;s teeth is tooth fracture. A Boston Terrier can break their teeth surprisingly easy by crunching down on rocks, bones, and other tough substances.

Supplies Needed

A canine toothbrush or child’s soft toothbrush.

A finger brush.

Toothpaste for dogs comes in several flavors.

a. Nutri-Vet Canine Toothpaste, Chicken Flavor b. Canine Enzymatic Toothpaste c. KissAble Toothpaste d. CET Pet Toothpaste e. Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste f. Triple Pet All Natural Toothpaste g. Virbac Toothpaste Dog – Natural

A good canine diet.

Adequate clean water.

A large dose of love, patience, sweet talking, and praise.

Your Boston Terrier’s Dental Care Begins With Proper Diet

Dental distress can be caused by the wrong kind of foods. The mild abrasiveness of dry food can help remove the bacterial plaque that can harden into tartar. Dry food also provides adequate chewing exercise and stimulation.

Feeding your pet sweets and table scraps may increase plaque and tartar formation. So avoid feeding your pet these items.

If your Boston Terrier s prone to dental problems your veterinarian may recommend a special dry food designed to reduce plaque and tartar.

Tartar buildup can be reduced by modifications in diet, but only regular brushing can reach the critical areas at and below the gum line.

Brushing Your Boston Terrier’s Teeth

Brushing your Boston Terrier’s teeth may be easier than brushing your own. Your Boston’s teeth are narrow and more widely spaced, so the need for flossing is eliminated.

There are several noted differences in brushing your Boston’s teeth as opposed to brushing your own teeth. Because your Boston cannot rinse or spit out toothpaste, the toothpaste must be specially designed for dogs. Human toothpastes can irritate your Boston’s stomach and fluoride can cause mottling of the tooth enamel.

Getting Started

For the first few dental care sessions with your dog, do not even use a toothbrush.

The first step is selecting a good time. This should be a time in which the dog is relaxed, drowsy is good.

Gently stroke the outside of your Boston’s cheeks with the tip of your finger.

When your Boston becomes comfortable with that, place a small dab of toothpaste on your fingertip. Let your dog sniff it and then lick it off. Repeat this process several times.

Do not rush your Boston. Be patient. The last thing you will want is for your dental care time to be traumatic. You should not have to force your Boston. It may take days or weeks before your Boston becomes comfortable. You may need to back up and try days or weeks of gently stroking on the outside of their cheeks.

Gently rub several teeth with your fingers and a small dab of toothpaste.

Gradually increase the number of teeth brushed.

Remember, it is extremely important to brush the back teeth where plaque and tartar have an increased tendency to accumulate. Go slowly. Stop brushing after just a few minutes and long before you Boston begins to fuss.

If your Boston begins to dislike the procedure, back up to the step of gently stroking the outside of your Boston’s cheeks with the tip of your finger. Repeat this step for days or weeks until your Boston again becomes comfortable with you manipulating their mouth area.

Always remember to be patient. You do not want this time to be wrought with anxiety for both you and your Boston.

Next, introduce a small dab of toothpaste on a toothbrush to your Boston’s mouth. When your dog has tasted the toothpaste, reapply a small dab to the toothbrush and brush gently in a circular motion to their front teeth. Praise your Boston often, stroke their neck gently, speak softly. When your Boston is relaxed, pull their lips and cheek back gently to gain access to the side and back teeth. Brush softly.

Boston Terriers do not accumulate much tartar on the inside of their teeth, so it is important to worry only about the outside surfaces. The back teeth are very important.

Try to make your Boston’s dental care time pleasurable. Stop each session and lavishly praise your dog.

Your Boston Terrier may actually start to look forward to their dental care time.

Consult your Boston’s Veterinarian for brushing frequency. Most will recommend at least twice a week. Boston’s with stubborn dental problems may need more frequent dental care.

While brushing your Boston’s teeth twice a week may seem daunting, it will become easier with practice and patience. By caring for your Boston’s dental hygiene, you will assure good dental health, and may prevent more serious dental and medical problems as they age.

Professional Dental Cleanings

Consult with your veterinarian to determine frequency of needed professional dental care. Most will recommend an interval of one to three years.

Professional dental care is performed under general anesthesia. It will consist of scaling (to remove tartar above and below the gum line); polishing (to smooth the surface of your Boston’s teeth); and flushing (to dislodge both tartar and bacteria).

A professional dental cleaning may consist of:

a. Anesthetizing your Boston Terrier. b. Taking x-rays to assess the health of their teeth and surround bone areas. c. Flushing their mouth with antibacterial solution to kill bacteria d. Using an ultrasonic scaler to clean the teeth. e. Polishing the teeth to remove scratches f. Examining each tooth and the surrounding gums for signs of disease g. Reflushing the mouth again with the antibacterial solution. h. Applying a dental agent to retard plaque buildup. i. Documenting any abnormalities on your Boston’s chart. j. Recommending follow-up and determining a home care regimen for your Boston Terrier

The typical cost of a professional veterinarian’s dental care for your Boston Terrier is between $70 and $350. Costs may increase if your veterinarian may determines that your dog may need pre-anesthesia blood work. A need for a more extensive cleaning may also increase the costs.

February

Remember that February is National Canine Dental Month.

If you have not had, your boston terriers 8217; teeth examined by your veterinarian, then now is an excellent time. They may recommend a home care regimen that will prevent further problems. Glossary

Plaque – a film of saliva, mucus, bacteria, and food residues that builds up on the surface of teeth and can cause gum disease.

Tartar – a hard deposit of mostly organic material that forms on teeth at the gum line and contributes to dental decay if not regularly removed.

The Boston Terrier is a loving companion dog well suited to apartment and small house living. She only requires walks for exercise. She can become overheated in hot and humid climates. Sh e is highly intelligent and easy to train. She is good with children, other animals and the elderly. Just as a reminder, never leave young children with a dog or puppy unsupervised.

Getting to know your dog starts by getting to know its breed, and that includes getting a better idea about its appearance, personality, and health requirements. Here’s what you need to know about the Boston terrier:
Nicknamed the “American Gentleman,” the Boston terrier is a cross between an English White Terrier and an English bulldog, first originating sometime during the late 19th century. During that era, the breed was called Hooper’s Judge, weighing around 30 pounds. Over the years, the Boston terrier’s name changed and it was bred down in size. Although the early breed was classified as lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight, today they are usually between 10 and 25 pounds.
The interesting thing about the Boston Terrier s that it was the first American breed to be recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1893. During the late 1870s, these dogs were used for pit fighting but today, they are known as being the first non-sporting dog bred in the United States, a docile breed. Hitting a peak in popularity during the 1920s, the Boston terrier remains a nice choice for families although males tend to challenge other dogs for turf.Physical Appearance
Again, the Boston Terrier s not a large breed, being very compact but well proportioned. The dog has a short tail, short muzzle, and alert, erect ears. Height can vary but most dogs in this breed are between 15 and 17 inches at the withers. As with other terrier breeds, you will find the Boston terrier marked with various colors and color combinations, as indicated below.
* Black with White Markings
* Brindle
* Seal
* Combination of black, brindle, and seal
Regardless of the color of the terrier, the chest, band around the neck, muzzle, and partially up on the forelegs, along with the hocks and rear legs should be white. Then, for American Kennel Club standards, the Boston terrier should also present a white blaze that goes between the eyes but without touching.Temperament and Personality
The most noticeable characteristics of the Boston terrier are alertness, gentleness, and excellent manners. Because of the sweet disposition of this breed, it makes an excellent companion dog. Typically, the breed loves being around people, specifically adults. However, if socialized young, they also do quite well around children and other animals. Interestingly, the Boston Terrier s not a big barker. While they will alert when necessary, barking is seldom, making them a great choice for apartment-dwellers.Health
For the most part, the Boston terrier is a strong, healthy breed. However, the breed does not handle heat and humidity well, which is because of the short muzzle. In fact, too much heat could lead to heat exhaustion. Although the average age of the Boston terrier is around 13, some will live to 15 or 16.
Due to the short muzzles, the Boston terrier does have a few considerations. For one thing, they can “reverse sneeze,” which is simply a gasp and snort. While it sounds horrible to the owner, this does not hurt the dog. If you find your Boston terrier becoming overly excited with an episode of reverse sneezing followed, just calm the dog down and the episode will stop.
Another non-dangerous tendency is to snort and snore, again because of the short muzzle. Depending on the dog, he or she may actually need minor surgery to help, making breathing easier. Therefore, if you feel your Boston terrier is not getting adequate air, we recommend you talk to your veterinarian. Finally, some Bos bos Boston Terri terriers > ill have eye problems such as ulcers. With a prominent eye structure, you would want to watch for any signs of injury or redness.

Boston Terrier have a lot of personality. They are intelligent, alert, well mannered and gentle. Some however, can be a little willful. Perhaps their willfulness comes from the fact that boston terriers ere originally bred for fighting. That is why if you want a Boston Terrier for a pet, it is always an excellent idea to get one while they are still young.

They also have health problems, so you will need to give them ample interest to make sure that they grow up healthy.

The Boston Terrier is a compact, small dog with a square face and a personality bigger than their 10-25 pound size. Although the most common color is black and white, they may be brindle or seal, and have distinct markings required in the standard. They are not a true terrier, belonging to the AKC non-sporting group. As such, they are usually not as driven or high energy as the “typical terrier”.
With the nickname “American Gentleman” the Boston Terrier s generally a friendly, loving dog that can vary within the breed from very willing to very stubborn. It gives owners a chance to choose a dog that fits their personality. Some are cuddly, some are more independent but due to a heritage of being companion dogs they generally get along well with people, dogs and other pets. Following the Civil War they were bred in stables around Boston Massachusetts.
Many would be surprised to hear that these dogs were actually bred down from bulldogs, bull terriers and later French Bulldogs to reduce the size. Early in the development they were fighting dogs, largely from English bulldog and English terrier stock. Due to the origins from that stock around Boston in the 1870s the club was originally called the American Bull Terrier Club but that didn’t set well with Bull Terrier breeders so the name was changed to a more local representation and the Boston Terrier was born, first admitted into the AKC in 1893 as the first US breed recognized and the first non-sporting dog bred in the US.
Much like the Morgan horse traces to one horse, the Boston terrier traces to “Judge” owned by Robert Hooper. Bred to Edward Burnett’s “Gyp” the foundation was started particularly through Well’s Eph. This is a fairly young breed as history goes.
By the 1900s the breed’s distinctive markings became part of the standard, making it a requirement instead of an option. Today they are terrier in name only. This is a typically easy going breed that gets by on moderate exercise, the short coat requires little grooming and they are usually easy to train. He is no longer a fighter but many will rise to defending themselves if challenged. He makes a wonderful companion dog.
From a standards point for conformation the dog should be balanced, with good expression and proper markings. The head and neck, topline, body and tail share equal importance, followed by general appearance, expression, forequarters, hindquarters and gait. Lastly, eyes, ears, feet and color/markings have points awarded, although solid colored dogs without markings is cause for disqualification. Additionally gray or liver base colors are cause for disqualification.
The shortened muzzle of the Boston terrier does bring some challenges you should be aware of. Excessive heat or cold can harm your dog so caution is needed to protect him from extremes while exercising.
Brachycephalic syndrome is one of the issues that affects not only the French Bulldog but the Boston terrier as well. The normal dog expels air and fresh air inflates the lungs, with the pressure of the chest equal to that of outside air. With these breeds, low pressure within the airway means the dog must work harder to breathe – to pull that air into the lungs. This can result in these breeds being susceptible to overheating at much higher rates than other dogs. Care must be taken – much like closing your nose off part way it’s harder for air to get into the lungs.
According to the standard, the eyes are set square in the skull and the outside corners should be in line with cheeks when viewed from the front. This calls for eye protection due to large eyes that somewhat protrude. Doggie visors can help keep the sun out of their eyes. Do not let your Boston terrier stick his head outside the vehicle – while protecting the eyes of any dog with this rule is important, because of the very structure of the head it’s more true with Bostons. Keep your Boston terrier away from thorny plants to prevent getting their eyes scratched, and avoid dusty areas if possible.
This is stressed because there are 20 different problems that can be created with Boston Ter terriers Juvenile Cataracts should be tested for annually as this can cause blindness. Watch for change to the eye including a blue, gray or white color. If he begins bumping into things, is afraid of stairs or getting up on something, is timid in unfamiliar places it’s all signs to have him checked. If a normally outgoing dog becomes “clingy” it may also be a sign he’s not able to see as well and looking to you for help.
Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to reverse or shrink cataracts. It is important to be mindful of protecting the eyes of your Boston terrier and as much as possible reduce the chances of injury. There is sometimes surgical options, but this isn’t foolproof. Dogs that are blind can live a healthy, normal life if handled with this in mind. Keep the environment familiar and keep him in a fenced yard or on leash at all times when outside.
Juvenile cataracts is a recessive hereditary disease – both parents may be normal but if the offspring have the wrong genetics match up they could have the disease not present in the parents. Genetic testing before breeding is highly advised to determine if the individual is a carrier of juvenile cataracts.
Some heart issues are also known to affect Boston Terrier as well as things that affect all dogs no matter what breed.
Some breeders speak of necessary C-sections so in addition to health testing there is a vet specializing in bully breeds (remember that breathing issue) and thus a cost of thousands of dollars to produce one puppy. Due to the blocky head it is not uncommon for a C-section to be needed to produce puppies, something that warrants serious consideration before breeding. With the high fees it would seem demand for these wonderful little dogs is high enough one need never be in rescue, but that is not the case.
There are certainly serious considerations to breeding any dog and more so with breeds like the Boston Terrier Equally certain even among champion to champion breeding not all will be show dogs but these are still incredible pets and companions. If the Boston Terrier ounds like a dog that would be a fit for your home, contact a Boston terrier breeder to see about an unshowable dog, or look into rescues that pull dogs given up by their owners or found on the streets. There are incredible dogs looking for homes and if you are serious about finding your ideal Boston terrier it can happen.

The Boston Terrier s a true American Breed. The breed results from a cross between a English Bulldog and a white English Terrier. The breed’s nickname is American Gentleman because of the breeds gentle disposition.

Around 1870 William O’Brien of Boston sold an imported dog named “Judge” to Robert Hooper (also of Boston). The dog became to be known as “Hooper’s Judge” and became ancestor of almost all true modern Bos bos Boston Terri terriers > “Hooper Judge” was mated to a white Bitch named “Gyp” or “Kate” (was owned by Edward Burnett) and from this mating descended a dog named “Wells Eph” who was bred to a Bitch named “Tobins Kate”. The Boston Terrier breed evolved from these dogs.

In 1889 thirty people in and around Boston organized the American Bull Terrier lub. As time passed they met with opposition from Bull Terrier nd Bulldog fanciers who objected to the similarity of the breed name and they claimed that this new breed was quite unlike theirs. So at that point the Boston Terrier lub of America was established in 1891, taking the name of the city the breed had originated from. American Kennel Club admitted the breed in 1893.
