No Such Thing As a “Mini” Boston Terrier

in Boston Terrier Breeding

boston terrierYou may have heard certain breeders talk about “mini” Boston Terriers. Let me set the record straight … “mini” Boston Terriers do not exist. If you happen to come across a breeder who says they sell “mini” or “teacup” Boston Terriers, BEWARE. The breeder is most likely a dishonest, backyard breeder who is trying to monetize on a puppy’s misfortunate health condition. The average size for a Boston Terrier should be as follows: Height: 15-17 inches Weight: 10-25 pounds If you find a Boston Terrier that is less than 10 pounds it will most likely develop an array of health issues. A “mini” Boston Terrier may be the result of a runt bred with another runt- which will result in genetic health problems. Realize that “mini” Bostons are not recognized by the AKC and should not be bred. Questions? Leave a comment below!
