Great choice, we have a Boston, he is turning 2 at the end of the month. Just remember with bostons they never grow out of the puppy stage, very hyper. Like anytime you are thinking of getting a new dog research the breed... Our little guy is a sweetie, but very hyper, little dog who thinks he is the big dog. His registered name is brutus but we call him bubba!! He trained so quickly and we got him at 8 wks from a pet store (against my better judgement,I hate petstores but he looked so sad he needed to be rescued) He never had an accident in our home during training went to the door to go out everytime, I was shocked! Pleasently shocked of course. We never had ours fixed in hopes of breeding some times, although in our area there is not alot of them, I guess because they are expensive. My husband laughed because he said he paid more for bubba than his first car, 1500.00 is steep but he is registered AKC and has the micro chip. Good Luck with your search, post pics when you get him, they are adorable.
