I hear ya on that one. I always tease my husband and tell him that Chico is like having a really expensive pet rock! Heidi on the other hand.... :shock:augrad said:Teehee - it cracks me up when everyone talks about their AB's being hyper. You all need to borrow Buster for a while - but you'll have to wake him up first. :lol:

I'm interested in both the BT and the BB. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction, since you've recently found the perfect BB?redbull said:Boston Terrier's and AB's have to be the best dogs to own together, they compliment each other so well!
If you like Boston's but want a dog with a bit more substance, Boston Bulldogges are awesome as well. The BB is a bit more sturdy/hardy, they are free whelpers, do not require invitro or c-sections, and supposedly are work-able. I've been heavily interested in Boston Bulldogges myself for years. Been searching and searching for the perfect ones, and have just recently found what I was looking for.
However, Boston Terriers make great city apartment pets (lower maintenance) and like Mary says - they have awesome personality.![]()
I've actually experienced the opposite. We rescued a male (neutered) Boston before we got Torco andhe was SO dominant over Torco when he came - and Torco was only 8 weeks old! He started peeing all over the house, humping Torco and attacking him and crying all night long in his crate. I think it might have been different had it been a female, but we had been waiting a long time for Torco and couldn't risk the Boston getting hurt in the long run, so we gave him back.redbull said:Boston Terrier's and AB's have to be the best dogs to own together, they compliment each other so well!

A friend of mine just her Boston of 13 yrs. killed by her other 3 dogs. Boston's definitely have an AB personality trapped in a mini-me body!![]()
Yeah, Chassis is our female AB and they played WONDERFUL together.... before we got Torco. I really wish it could have worked out, too.redbull said:Yeah you have to be really careful with multiple male bully's, would have been best to have a female BT with male AB, that's what I've mainly seen without any troubles at all. But in your case it was a rescue so you did not have the option to choose, that's too bad it didn't work outThey can make an awesome team if it does.
A friend of mine also owns a male BT and female AmStaff, and they also do really well together.
That's hilarious! Poor little guy sounds like he's a handful! :lol:lovebeingme76 said:I have a Boston!!! I love the little guy to pieces!!!!
He's pretty bossy over my two APBT's, but we've been working on that.
He likes to chase the cats....we're working on that.
He poops in the bath tub........*sigh* we're working on that.
He's not overly hyper but I've heard that's the exception, not the rule.
