The Boston Terrier is small breed dog that originated from Boston, Massachusetts. In the 1870’s, Robert C. Hooper purchased a Bulldog and English White Terrier mixed breed dog named Judge. He interbred Judge with French Bulldogs to produce the Boston Terrier. The breed was originally bred for dog fighting and rat hunting purposes. They were later specifically bred to be companion animals. The original Boston Terrier was larger than today’s and weighed up to 44 lbs. They were increasingly bred to be smaller in size and to distance their bloodlines from those of the fighting breeds in their heritage. Today, companion lines of Boston Terriers retain very little of the terrier traits and are not considered terriers by the AKC. The breed was recognized by the AKC in 1893 and was the first American breed to be recognized.
