When I’m out with my Boston terrier a lot of people ask me if she’s a Boston Bull. I wasn’t familiar with Boston bull’s, so I decided to do a little research …
Turns out, Boston Terriers were originally bred from the Boston Bull breed.
They are generally bigger than today’s Boston terrier. They weigh anywhere from 25 to 45 pounds and come in a variety of colors. Boston terriers are much smaller (15-25 pounds) and they only come in 3 color combinations:
- Brindle/white
- Black/white
- Seal/white
As Boston terriers became more refined they started to take on a new look. Breeders wanted to make them smaller, and started paying attention to body proportions and markings.

I get that all the time too… people think my boston terrier butch is a boston bulldog. it’d be interesting to find out if he’s from the original line. any suggestions on how I would go about doing that?
I actually have a new breed of Boston Terriers, a “Bronx Terrier”. People always mistake the two and ask me what the difference is. The difference is that the owner(me) is a huge Yankee fan and wants nothing to do with Boston. Her name is Jeter.
I think I have a Boston Terrier, but I’m confused. Mine is a female brindle and white and weighs 18 lb. My stepson has a seal and white. His is so much bigger and taller than mine, I’m wondering if I really have a French Bulldog or if he really as a Boston Bull dog. His has floppy ears and mine has long pointed ears. Max’s coat is beautiful but much thinner shorter than mine.
