How It Originated
They are American as hamburger and the Fourth of July. The Boston Terrier was born and bred in Beantown in the 1870s. The breed started with a bull-and-terrier dog called Hooper’s Judge, a medium-sized cross between an English Bulldog and a white English Terrier – the same type of cross that produced breeds such as the American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, and Bull Terrier.
A muscular, dark brindle male with a white blaze and a square, blocky head, Judge weighed about 32 pounds and resembled the Bulldog side of his pedigree. He was bred to a short, white female, and their descendants became the first of the new breed.
