Boston Terrier
Breed History:
This Boston
Terrier breed originated in - where else? - Boston. A
combination of the early Bulldog and the Bull Terrier,
the Boston Terrier was originally bred for
pit fighting but when the blood sport was outlawed, a group of breed
fanciers worked to promote recognition of the breed. The first of
the Boston Terrier breed to be exhibited
made its debut at the Massachusetts Kennel Club show in 1878. The
breed went through several name changes before it was granted
recognition by the American Kennel Club in 1893 and became known as
the Boston Terrier. Early Boston Terriers
were much heavier than the current canines but as the breed pared
down in size, it gained in popularity and was the most popular breed
in the U.S. between 1929 and 1935.
