Thread: bostons & other dogs

thanks everyone :) I’ll find the right one eventually

My Boston is a grumpy old man but i’m pretty sure it’s because he was never properly socialized.. He is also very protective of my but from what i’ve read that seems to be normal for Bostons. my mom has a female Boston that she rescued and she’s a little sweet heart.. very friendly to other animals and people. I hope you eventually find the right dog.. they are a great breed.

mine only goes after bigger dogs as well, and only males then. So far in my neighborhood hes gone after a golden retriever, 2 labs, and a dobey. The korean lady down the block has a pomeranian and it terrifies my BT though. He has no fear of the larger dogs though. He plays well with my male cat, although he cant really tell when the cat has had enough and usually gets his butt kicked.

My Boston (mimz) she has no problems with other dogs . She does have a things sometimes for cats. But for the most she generally leaves them alone. She is friendly along as you give her a chance to check you out. If you let her come to you she is fine.

My BT likes to play, but his idea of play and another dogs idea sometimes varies. If the other dog isn’t dominant my dog tries to take over, sometimes a little too aggressively. Usually when I remind him that I’m actually the dominant one, he plays nice. So I guess for him it doesn’t matter what size the other dog is, it’s the other dog’s demeanor that determines if he’s aggressive or...

Doobie, age 13 is not nice to other dogs but loves all people. Jack, age 2 loves all dogs but is very leary of people. Both HATE cats. Dogs are like kids. You raise them the same way and they turn out to have their own personality. LOL Foster care givers can tell you alot about the dog you find through a rescue group. Good luck with your addition :)

I own a boston terrier who’s 3 a shitzu who is 2 and a 5 year old large mutt and they all get along great. :)
