Boston terrier
Tuxedo-marked companion dog
A Boston terrier is a small, compact American breed with a short muzzle, erect ears, and distinctive black-and-white "tuxedo" markings.
Bred in Boston in the late 1800s from crosses of bulldogs and terriers, the breed is known for its friendly, lively temperament.
Despite the name, Boston terriers are not true terriers but companion dogs.
