Just picked up a Boston Terrier puppy yesterday.
Awesome dogs, high energy when they are little. You will not regret your choice hound. What's the mongrels name?

Dexter, he's ten weeks old and adjusting nicely to his new home.Really enjoyed the drive to Trempeleau to pick him up.Some beautiful country down there.
Great family dogs and companions. Congrats on a good choice. Enjoy!
Nice pooch. Hope you get many years of happiness with him.
I have always liked the Boston Terrior. Lots of enegry, maybe to much for me, though.
Good luck with the holy terror ;D
Side note,,,,my daughter has a rat terrior cross,,,,,@#$%$!@#$ is about all I can say but I still love the little degenerate ;D
Our previous house dog was a rat terrier, pug, beagle cross.Great personality, but way to much energy.
Happy to say that Dexter has been everything we wanted in a house dog and more.He is a very affectionate, snugly pup.He has his times of tearing around the house, but for the most part is pretty mellow for a puppy.He has not really chewed up anything yet.He like to drag shoes around but doesn't really chew on them.He very seldom barks, which is a welcome change from the yapper we had before.We have not fed him any table scraps in an attempt to keep him from begging while we are eating.So far, he just goes and plays with his toys when we sit down for a meal.He is excellent with our 7 month old grandson.I'm not sure if all Boston's have a temperament like this one, but I would highly recommend one to anyone looking for a house dog.
I have yet to meet a Boston I didn't like. They are just cool dogs; and I'm no a little dog person. I know what Shitpoo that I'm ready to stomp at any moment. Glad your guy turned out. My dog is an important member of my family. I can't believe my guy is 7 years old. Kids still love him to death and he's my constant driving companion.
Glad to hear the little guy is doing well and so is your family.
I personally like those Bostons.
I got some good news a couple weeks ago,,,,after badgering the wife for a another puppy and she has said no!!!!!! We went to the Minnesota State Fair and checked out the dog area and we saw a couple of French Bulldogs and she said yes to those dogs. So now our search has started for this winter because I need to be home to train the dog.
Man I think I am feeling your excitment HH ;D
How is the puppy HH,,,now that you have a few months under the belt?

Everything is good with Dexter. We still are not feeding him table scraps, and he just goes and plays while we are at the table eating. He really wants to play alot lately, but that's what puppies do. I think he is not going to like going outside in the winter months. Him and the grandson still get along great. They even share their toys sometimes. ;D He just mastered going up and down the basement steps.
Are you still getting the French bulldog? If I remember right, they are a bit smaller than the English bulldogs. Is that correct?
I think they bark with a different accent than the English bulldogs, too. ;)

Yes they do. White is the most sought after color and the more expensive. I would like a white colored one but I might also be looking at the adpotion route also.

Too funny! Reminds me of when we first got our pup and my wife trained her to attack a big stuffed elephant toy, every time someone said "Republican."
Dexter is one year old today. He is a pleasure and I couldn't imagine not having him in our lives. Our grandson is 15 months and him and Dexter get along great, sharing their toys, food, and whatever else. Dexter lets the grandson pull, poke, and prod him. If he gets tired of it he gets up and leaves.
My brother has Boston Terror yes terror his neck is bigger than his head. ;D

Our Boston is pretty laid back. He has his moments, but overall pretty mellow. He just likes hanging out with the family. He can be quite stubborn at times though.
