Rose McGowan - Boston Terriers
Boston Terriers – Besides being the state dog of Massachusettes, Boston Terriers can also lay claim to being the first American dog breed recognized by the AKC. They’ve been a popular breed for many years in America and abroad, and have been the breed of choice for several celebrities, and even a U.S. president.
Famous Boston Terriers: A Boston Terrier / Pit Bull mix named, “Sergeant Stubby” was a decorated American WWI hero. Known for warning American soldiers against poisonous gas and imminent attacks, he was the mascot of the 102nd infantry. (he actually was promoted to the rank of “Sergeant”) Boston Terriers have owned former President Warren G. Harding and Helen Keller, as well celebrities including:
Famke Janssen (x-men) – Licorice
Rose McGowan – Fester (R.I.P.) & Bug
LeAnn Rimes – Harley
Allison Sweeny (Biggest Loser Host) – Winky
Joan Rivers – Lulu (R.I.P.)
More about Boston Terriers: Boston Terrier’s were originally bred as fighting dogs from a mix of Old English Bulldog and the English White Terrier. Bostons are part of the Non-Sporting group in the AKC, and because of their relatively large head size, like Bulldogs they are usually born via c-section.
Sergeant Stubby
Although known for being one of the more gassy dog breeds, (who can vouch for this!?) they have still retained the nickname of “The American Gentlemen.” Because of their short snouts, Boston Terriers are not fond of hot weather, and are known for snoring and grunting. Next time you are in Floydada, Texas, be sure to stop by the Boston Terrier Museum.

Hmm… how about Boston terrier’s personality? Is he aggressive? or territorial? or what? I want one! But, I still have to research on how will I raise it.
Great post you could not ask for a better dog. Sergeant Stubby was a decorated American WWI hero known for warning American soldiers against poisonous gas and imminent attacks. Go Army

My favorite dog breed – I love the Boston Terrier!
Boston Terriers are sweet, energetic, and my Tootie loves everyone she meets! She’s always available for kisses and will always greet the children at the door with love and excitement when they come home from school. Seriously, I will never have another kind of dog again. This is the breed for me. She’s my best friend. I researched all breeds (always lived with dogs, but wanted my very own love that got along with my kids, our black lab was a mismatch.) and I decided to get a Bostie. I wanted a friendly dog who would be great with my children (aged when we adopted her, 1, 6, 7 & 9 years), cats, not to be prone to food aggression, and be energetic enough to play and go for walks, but lazy enough to cuddle at night. I found all of that and more in one small dog … Tootie, my Boston Terrier, my best friend. (named appropriately)
Boston’s Rule! You will not be disappointed if you take one home. Perfect companions and full of love
