Facts About Boston Terriers by Kevin Gawricki
Facts About Boston Terriers by Kevin Gawricki
The Boston Terrier is 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 Boston 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 Club. As time passed they met with opposition from Bull Terrier and 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 Club 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.
