I'm often asked, "Why did you choose a Boston Terrier?" Well, I must say, my first encounter with a Boston was surprisingly when I lived overseas in Oxford, England back in 2007. Surprising because Boston Terriers are actually American bred dogs (one of the few I may add). In fact, their nickname is "America's Gentleman" because their fur coloring appears as if they are wearing a tuxedo. You can be the judge of that...
Anyway, I met a good (and American) friend while overseas, named Krista, who just happened to have a Boston Terrier. Her name was Lady, and I just loved her.
She had all the characteristics I ever wanted in a dog, a true companion with personality, which is exactly what I got with Alfredo. Fast forward three years, which is when Alfredo came into my life. I couldn't imagine having another breed now. Like most Boston owners, I'm probably a "Boston Lifer." There is no doubt that I have probably also influenced others to adopt a Boston, which is good, because these dogs deserve nothing less than constant love and companionship.
