History on the Boston Terrier.

Bred down in size from pit-fighting dogs of the bull and terrier types, the Boston Terrier originally weighed up to 44 pounds (20 kg.) (Olde Boston Bulldogge). It is difficult to believe that these stylish, little dogs were once tough pit-fighters. In fact, their weight classifications were once divided as lightweight, middle and heavyweight. Originating in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, the Boston Terrier is one of the few breeds that was developed in the USA. The original Boston Terriers were a cross between the English Bulldog and now extinct English White Terrier. Around 1865, the coachmen employed by the wealthy people of Boston began to interbreed some of the dogs owned by their employers. One of these crosses, between an English White Terrier and an English Bulldog resulted in a dog named Hooper's Judge. Judge weighed over 30 pounds (13.5 kg.). He was bred down in size with a smaller female and one of those male pups was bred to yet a smaller female. Their offspring interbred with one or more French Bulldogs, providing the foundation for the Boston Terrier. By 1889 the breed had become sufficiently popular in Boston that fanciers formed the American Bull Terrier Club, but this proposed name was not well liked by Bull Terrier lovers. Nor did they like the breeds nickname, "roundheads". Shortly after, the breed was named the Boston Terrier after its birthplace. The breed was recognized by the AKC in 1893. It was first shown in Boston in 1870. In the early years the color and markings were not very important but by the 1900's the breeds distinctive markings and color were written into the standard. Terrier only in name, the Boston Terrier has mellowed from the pit fighting dogs of the past.

There are no two dogs that combine to create the Boston Terrier. They have been bred from many generations of Terriers and bulldogs such as the French Bulldog.

They often are, especially as puppies. But two out of three Boston Terriers that I've owned have been very sweet, calm dogs; especially the one I have now. She just wants to sit on your lap and sleep all day. But the one I had before her, she was very hyper. Sweet, but a little crazy.

How much did it cost to keep Bush's dogs when he was president?

Nobody keeps itemized records of such expenses or if they do, they are not made public. Bush kept two Scottish terriers which are not big dogs, so you should be able to make a reasonable guess. If the federal government paid, it was a minute part of the expense of keeping the White House running to be sure.
