The Boston terrier is also known as the Boston bull or Boston bull & Terrier. The Boston terrier dog breed is very distinctive-looking with alternating dark and white fur and pointy ears. Specifically bred to be a companion animal, yet with ancestors who were bred for the hunt, Boston Terriers tend to be both lovable with humans and tough toward other animals, whatever their size. Here are the characteristics of the Borzoi breed as determined by the American Kennel Club's published breed standard.
