50 Names for Your Boston Terrier

Judge, America’s first Boston Terrier, reached the nation’s shores in 1870. Arriving from Liverpool, the dog looked much more like an English Bulldog than the energetic, tuxedo-colored breed we know today. More than a century and several generations of breeding later, the Boston Terrier is a perennial favorite among America’s dog lovers and a sprightly addition to any home.
