found this site trying to get better educated about my 5 month old boston terrier...named bentley. hes a handsome fella, but i have had trouble getting him housebroken...and now he is eating poo.  i am losing my mind, trying to figure out what to do. please, if anyone has any advice...LET ME KNOW!

I have my little girl Miley, she is an 8 month old Boston Terrier. She throws up all the time!!! She eats and throws it up..this can't be normal. I have taken her to the vet and the vet gave me laxitive to give her saying she has ingested something and it was plugging her up. Well that can't be it, she is still have normal bowel movements. We switched her to a different food (PMI Exclusive Puppy Chow) and she did better for a bit but now it's happening again....can anyone provide me with more guidance??

 Thank you~

Tell me what your name of your boston is and a little about you and he/she. 

My Boston's name is Zeb he is 9 years old and will be 10 in Febuary. He is my best bud. His real name is Zeb Ala LeMaster. That picture on on my account is Zeb. He is the king of three other dogs, My sister's dog, Zoey, she is a female Boston Terrier, and my Mom's which is a Brussels Griffon, his name is Zeke. Zeb is the oldest therefore making him the top dog or the King of the Dogs.

My 2 yr old boston male sucks the noses of all his toys/animals and goes into this cute sleepy trance. He squeezes the object with his paws as he sucks the nose! It's the cutest thing!

This is my 4th child, Bernie our Boston Terrier. Shhhh...don't tell him that he's not like his human brothers and sister, though. He thinks he's human just like them!! He loves his mommie and his Charlie very much. He's so spoiled rotten, but don't tell him!! He thinks that's the way he's supposed to be treated!!

Hey guys,

I just wanted to introduce my dog Monster to this site.  Here are some pics of him:

We just got a Boston! I've never had one before. :) He's about 12 weeks old now, and such a little cutie! His name is Tucker!

He's already really good with 'sit' and 'speak', so now we're mostly trying to get him completely house trained that way he can kind of be in the house without having to be watched at every second. :)

He already gets along really well with our other pets, Kelsi --a black lab mix, and Teddy --our cat! He loves to play with them, although sometimes Teddy doesn't like it, but Kelsi is a great babysitter. :)

Tucker loves to sleep under the covers, and he snores, which I think is incredible. It's so cute! Sometimes he also sticks his tongue out while he sleeps. :)

I love our new edition! We lost both our oldest --my childhood dog, Cowboy, and mom's cat Murphy. Both were of old age; Cowboy was 12 and Murphy was 23! Having a new kiddo in the mix has helped, even though I'll always miss them.

 So here's to new friends, and new experiences. So far it's been great! :) 

My youngest has from the very beginning had a disgusting habit of eating poo.  I try my best to clean up after my 2 BTs so there is nothing around to snack on but this nasty habit continues. I've tried cayenne, leashing and other behavioral adjustments but no luck. My older one is now starting. HELP! Any suggestions would be of assistance.

Here is my puppy Oscar.

She's a year and a half and just realllyyy hyper <3
but she got sick recently. She has a wound on her hind leg that the vet says is an insect bite. it looked reddish at first but then as the day progressed it started to swell and had dark spots on it. My sister said it had pus and had ruptured while i was at work so i called the vet for a house call.

The vet prescribed Amoxcillin 250 mg but the pharmacy didnt have any stock so i asked the doctor if Erythromycin was okay since theyre both antibacterial and he said yes. so when i got home i cleaned the wound again and gave rani a tablet. he said to give her a tablet a day for 7 days.

i went upstairs to type out an email when i heard my sister call me to say Rani had vomitted. i went down to see the color and consistency but amanda cleaned it up already so i went back upstairs and then Amanda yelled that Rani vomitted again and i ran downstairs. her vomit was mostly her food, and Daddy suggested i give her milk.

so i did...when i came back after putting away her doggy dish i found out that she threw up all over her Pooh pillow. i cleaned it up but then she excreted watery stool and then threw up again after i cleaned that up.

this was 10:30 PM so i texted the vet and put newspaper around the living room. im going to sleep there with her just in case anything happens in the night and maybe i could do something. Daddy said if we wake up and Rani is in rigor mortis then he’s suing the vet. Him saying that just about made me bawl my eyes out. im really scared.

She’s still very alert and was grunting and trying to play with Daddy’s hand a while ago as Daddy was rubbing her tummy. im going to look for amoxcillin tomorrow and i dont care if i have to go around the whole city to look for it.

*sigh*
i hope its nothing serious.

well, i figured i'd start off by showing off my bostons.

this first one is bailey, he's 3, he'll be 4 in june. i got him as the runt of the litter, and he now weighs 27 pounds. everyone always asks me how i got my bostons so big, and i honestly don't know. he's the one that knocks over my garbage cans and eats the cat's food, but i love him anyway.

the second one is my brodi, he's 4. now, i don't know if he was the runt or if he was the biggest one in his litter, but he weighs a whopping 37 pounds. very abnormal for this breed, but his breeder/vet says he's very healthy, just enormous. haha. he's the biggest sweetheart, but he hates being photographed. so the picture isn't the best.

Love my Boston. He is one of my 4 dogs!!!  Just wondering though if anyone else has ever had a Boston do this.  Ever since he was a baby (he is a year now) he has to suck on a blanket before he can fall asleep.  He gathers a huge corner of a his quilt and sucks it like a pacifier.  Wondering if it is a Boston thing or just my crazy pup.  Thnx

We adopted Oreo from RPAW (http://www.rpaw.org) back in December. He's getting along great with our other dog Cujo, who is a 3 year old Boston Terrier. They love to play tug of war and chase each other around. Oreo harasses Cujo every chance he gets and follows him around like a shadow. We are still working on the potty training, he's getting there, but still has the occasional accident in the house. Oreo has learned to sit and shake already. He doesn't seem to mind the cold at all and loves to romp around in the snow. He loves to go cross country skiing with me in the back yard. He is getting along great with the 3 neighbor dogs (Pug, Boxer and German Sheppard). He thinks our (3) cats our his personal toys, and chases them and barks at them playfully. They don't really know what to think of Oreo, as they are just getting used to Cujo (3 years later). We have some of pictures of Oreo that you can see here: http://flickr.com/photos/toddfugere/sets/72157603484200607/ and here: http://flickr.com/photos/toddfugere/sets/72157601579467849/ (scroll to the bottom).

We recently got a second puppy, he is not a Boston Terrier but a lab/springer mix. He's only 11 weeks old. So far they are getting along ok, but not great. The Boston Terrier plays very rough with the new puppy, growling and being very aggressive around toys, bones, etc. This has been a problem with our Boston towards all other dogs, he needs to prove his dominance with every dog he meets. It's actually quite a frustrating problem. I'm worried he's going to get bit.

Does anyone else have this issue with their Boston Terrier?
