My boston is 26lbs and its only a year and 2 months....I wonder when he will stop....its all muscle, we take him running all the time and he loves it!
All of these people talking about their oversized bostons. Whoopdy doo? So what? Everybody has big bostons. Rarely any of them conform to standard anymore. BYB or rescued from a byb. Cute video though
My 35 pound Boston was not from a backyard breeder - I bought him from a responsible breeder that has been breeding Bostons for many years....both his parents weighed between 15-18 pounds. Sometimes, the large gene just pops up. We also have a female Boston, who is only 12 pounds.
Are you a vet? Are you telepathic? What makes you an expert on large Bostons? And what makes you think that the word "oversized" is actually appropriate in describing larger Bostons? They were originally bred to be that size. Obviously, you don't know what you are talking about.
@njsockmonkey I'm an AKC handler and have been handling bostons for 20 years plus a vet tech. It's a proven fact smartass, overbred/over sized dogs have more health problems. Over sized is appropriate, they are not normally sized over 25lbs, hence OVER the standard...they were bred for fighting and were supposed to be of the smaller size for that "sport" just like pits.
@juliocsr Who says I'm trying to be professional? Spell it correctly before you try and use it as an insult. You don't know my name, you don't know what I look like, so no one knows who I am. Bingo
I love this video! I also have a crazy 35 lb Boston. We take him and our Lab to the dog park often and we always get the comments about how big he is (especially from other "smaller" Boston owners), but I really prefer the large Bostons to the small ones. They're what the original Boston's size were.
when we take him to the water park everyone plays with him. they try to take his rope but they never can get it from him, same with the other dogs. they just give up. lol and he loves swimming!!!!
WHOAH...........35 pounds- that's a ST. Bernard BT-LOL, mine is 15 pounds, can't imagine twice as much energy! i love your BT's crazy eyes- too cute, TFS!
My boston is 5 months old and he is already 21 pounds... Do you happen to remember how much your boy was when he was 5? I wonder how big mine will be?. Thank you.
My dog used to do that also. But we had tied it higher so she would jump and hang on it for hours and hours. But then we moved and we had no trees we could do that with again.
when we got our boston terrier which is average size her son could probley stick her whole head in his mouth probley was 2x's bigger than her. sadly he was to big for us to get at the time.
my boston is 1/4 pitbull and he weighs in at about 37, no fat at all, puremuscle. i have one of these for him but hes gotta jump then he hangs, nice BT though
I like how right under the rope the ground is like worn away, lmfao he must really like that toy. I had a boston for almost 14 1/2 years before she passed greatest companion of my life!
I have a 32lb boston. My vet said that when Bostons were originally bred, they were between 40 and 50lbs. The larger bostons are called traditional bostons. For the longest time I thought I had been sold a mix breed instead of a purebreed.
Our Boston is 36 pounds, the vet says she has to lose 8 pounds because her knee blew out while chasing a basketball. Now she yelps when she jumps down from the couch sometimes.
Oh he's a boston. we have had 5 bostons in the family so I know hes a boston and ive had other people on here that have written me about their large boston. I asked the vet about his size and he says it's rare, but he has seen it before. it goes back in genetics. no matter.....i love him!
My BT is a little overweight...but what do you expect? She licks all the plates and eats a lot of doggy treats. My other BT on the other hand is very skinny. Just take him on a nice long walk every day, and don't feed him much treats...and he'll slim down. I'm doing that with my chubby Boston...and its working.
Funny thing is that we don't over feed him. He is just BIG lol and he plays a lot. If he could, I think he'd play with that rope until he passed out. I literally have to stop him. LOL
Breed standard for Bostons are a max of 25 pounds. I would suspect there is a mix in there somewhere. Maybe bull dog. As well, if you look at BJ's eyes the white goes all the way around. The white is called haw and Boston's are only susposed to have it in the corners of their eyes not all the way around. BJ is a beautiful animal and I love the video. Just wanted good info out there on the breed.
HAHAHA! That is one big Boston! Boston's have the best crazy face don't they? When mine gets excited he shows all his teeth and touches his top lip with his toungue. It's odd, really.
Hi focusthis51 i was just wondering if u breed boston terriers bcoz i wen i bought my boston called junior the breeder had a dog there called pj n he looks like the 1 in the video
No I don't breed them, but have thought about it...(I wouldn't be able to give the puppies up. lol) They say we all have twins somewhere in the world. Maybe this goes for dogs as well.
Our male is 30 lbs and feels that he should be seated at the table at supper i of course make hi get down but its hilarious
