BOSTON TERRIER |
 |
APPEARANCE
The general appearance of
the Boston Terrier should be that of a lively, highly intelligent,
smooth-coated, short-headed, compactly built, short-tailed, well
balanced dog of medium size, of brindle color and evenly marked with
white. The head should be in proportion to the size of the dog, the body
rather short and well knit, the limbs strong and neatly turned and the
tail short. The gait of the Boston Terrier is that of a sure footed,
straight gaited dog, forelegs and hind legs moving straight ahead in
time with perfect rhythm, each step indicating grace and power. The dog
conveys an impression of determination, strength and activity, with
style of a high order; carriage easy and graceful.
TEMPERAMENT
The Boston Terrier is a
friendly and lively dog. The breed has an excellent disposition and a
high degree of intelligence, which makes the Boston Terrier an
incomparable companion. Determined and strong willed.
Characteristics
Lively and intelligent.
A proportionate combination of “color” and “ideal markings” is a
particularly distinctive feature of a representative specimen. A dog
with a domination of white on body or without the proper proportion of
brindle and white on head is at a disadvantage. The ideal Boston Terrier
expression as indicating a high degree of intelligence is also an
important characteristic of the breed.
COLOUR
Brindle with white markings; brindle must show
throughout body distinctly; black with white markings but brindles with
white markings preferred. Ideal markings: white muzzle, even white blaze
over head, collar, breast, part of whole of forelegs, and hind legs
below hocks.
SIZE
Dogs: Around 16-17 inches.
Bitches: Around 15-16 inches.
