Great Channel,
Red Boston Chuck Snorris enjoys watching.
Don’t forget to mention about PARVO - make sure the puppy has completed the series for PARVO and ask your vet about the wait time following.
Our Boston was rescued from a puppy mill at about the age of 2 or so, she was a huge part of our family. A couple of weeks ago we had to put her to sleep because of cancer, none of the chemo treatments worked. We can't stand the emptiness and are adopting a 9 week old Boston this Saturday and are thrilled to find this channel to hopefully help our transition with our first puppy. Thank you for all the great information.
Bless you and your family. My husband and I just lost our dear Pappillon to cancer at the age of 17? She was also a rescue. In fact, Rose, our new 6 week old Boston terrier, is the first "puppy" I've ever had. The other great loves of my long life have been rescue dogs. We are a one dog at a time family...pouring all of our love and attention on one is how we roll. After 2 months of crying and crying we decided we couldn't live without a dog. So after searching and going to shelters, we finally found our Rose at a shelter a good drive away. And she is perfect! The only puppy I ever was around was my sister pup! Poo was mother's and like a sibling to me growing up. I am struggling to do all the right things for this baby with my physical disabilities...And after the first couple of nights she wants nothing to do with her crate. She went right to it and loved it at first. Made the mistake of sleeping with her the last few nights and it may have really messed things up. IDK!
Awww, red Bostons are just the cutest. I personally found it very easy to train my little Boston.
My male Red Boston Henry, suffers from selective hearing, knows when he’s being naughty, didn’t come with an “off” button, and thinks everything on the floor is his. He was fairly easy to potty train, loves to nap in his crate, and has provided hours of entertainment and love. His energy level is high and there is no rest time when he’s around. He’s my third Boston and it’s like having a toddler in the house. He is so different from the 2 females we’ve had, but we love him just as much. We got him because he was the runt and he was the only red in the litter with 5 sisters. Bostons are the best💜
Boston's are the easiest to train although they can be a bit stubborn at times... Life is better with a Boston!!!!
Thanks for having us!! We enjoyed sharing our journey with you :)
Thanks for coming on!
I'm in Vancouver Canada, actually, looking for a Boston. It's tough! Not sure if you're willing to share info on breeders hat you've learned about?
I absolutely love this channel!! I as well have a red female Boston named Roxie!! You’re so right that their color isn’t common, everywhere we go we get stopped by people who want to ask questions and just get an up close look at my fur baby! Good luck with your puppy... you already know the fun and love that comes with these wonderful little creatures.
I cook for my Boston and boxer. My first dog was a boxer and my second was a Boston. When my Boston past away at 13 years old I got a Boston and a Boxer. If anyone want to know if a Boston makes a great Service dog, they do. Sasha is my second Boston as a service dog and they are Amazing. I could not live my life without a Boston. They are hands down the best dog ever. Boxer dies make a very close second. Bostons are a very cuddly dog that wants to be at your side every second and very protective of you. My two Bostons have the same personality. Sasha is like having Sabrina all over again. She has one blue eye and one brown eye:) very cute !
I love your channel. We had a great Boston named Ozzie who we unfortunately had to put down last week after 15 years. I write to say that Ozzie was the best dog and friend that you could have and the joy he brought for the past 15 years cant be overstated. The Boston has such a great disposition and loyalty and I cant think of a better breed to have as part of your family. Losing Ozzie was very difficult and the emptiness is huge but he had a long and good life. Thank you for sharing the story of Boston Terriers and all the best to you.
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Ozzie. I'm sending happy vibes your way.
I understand I just put my 15 year old Boston terrier Lily to sleep last Monday .. It was totally heartbreaking.. I now have a 12 week old Boston terrier named Ari. which has been a bit of a challenge, trying to train not to bite.. she is in that nipping phase. but love her, she has brought so much life into my house. ❤❤❤
I just got a Red Boston terrier today I will name him Ozzie I love that name. Thank you for sharing your story
@@Adalily thank you for your kind words about our Ozzie and it is a honor for our Ozzie to live on in your sweet new Boston. May you have a wonderful relationship with yours and I hope Ozzie gives you much happiness!
@@fbarrios99 Awwww how sweet, Thank you! It’s just two days and I’m in love already. I wish I can send you some pictures of Ozzie.
Just what I was looking for, very relatable and useful conversation. Thanks!
Thank you 🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I really appreciate the advice on food motivation. I have a female Boston named Amy. I just love her. She’s a year & a half. The little booger can open cupboards & get into stuff! Uh yeah! I have given her chicken not knowing about them often having allergies. I haven’t had a problem but will avoid it in the future. Thanks man. Really enjoy your channel!
Omg! Ziggy is the name of my BT puppy and she's three months soon! Thanks for the video :)
Rebekah does a fantastic job of breaking down all the things that go into raising a wonderful family companion! Love it that she's summarizing the "bible" of puppy rearing, Dr. Ian Dunbar's "Before and After Getting Your Puppy." She seems like a really dedicated dog owner and the great results she's achieved with Ziggy are obvious. Brava!
My Boston is wonderful! Thank you for the videos.
Great video! I have a ginger Boston that is also 13 weeks old.
My God, as a person on the Humane Societies foster/adoption emailing list, there are soooooo many dogs that need adopting!!!! Anyways, maybe she lives in a remote area, or maybe she's refferring to smaller breed dogs (or only Bostons) not being available for adoption...but I do agree it is much harder to find a smaller dog to adopt in Toronto (where I live) as they tend to go much faster. During COVID it was mostly larger breeds on the mailing lists.
I guess got lucky getting my Boston through a foster because there was a pending legal case with the breeder miss-treating animals, but it worked out and I was able to adopt him eventually.
Suuuuper appreciate that book!
Great Interview with more useful advise for Boston’s. We avoid chicken and beef liver is a favourite. Our two females are easier to potty train than a male.
Thank you from Ontario where we love our Bostons.
Our 2 year-old had an infected gland - pricey - turns out she's allergic to chicken! Even the highest quality. So now we have her on Wellness canned whitefish and Wellness dry Oceanic Blend, along with a probiotic from the vet.
I have my first Boston and her girl sounds like my Luci. I’ve heard that they’re emotional dogs. I don’t yell at Luci. No potty pad training at all. She housebroken & very routine oriented. Best dog I’ve ever had!
Awe that's just so wonderful! I am not finding it as easy, but then in my old age this is my first puppy! All other children have been rescues and at least a year old...and only one at a time for us. I'd love to know more about how you started her training as a baby and esp. during the first few weeks you had her. I want her to be happy and gentle. Hard to deal with some of the wild puppy energy and the chewing. I've ordered her a new teething nylon bone that had good reviews...she has such sharp teeth. My little alligator! lol She can't stand not being right with either me or my husband holding or laying on us. I love that but would like her to enjoy her own "room" crate. I put the old and worn out PJ bottoms I was wearing the first couple of nights in her room and used kibble to lure her in and let her come and go into it so it's not seen as a punishment zone. This is hard! What are your secrets Kelly? TY for listening to this old lady with so much to say!
I actually just got a red n white splash boston after having a traditional black n white. She's definitely a red head, lol. Goin on 13wks now, be glad when teethn is done. Loves playn ball already, first trick we learned. Potty training is hard in °20 degree weather... but we'll get there. Super cool dogs, She's gets all the attention where ever we go.
Sounds like a cutie!
@@BostonTerrierSociety She's gorgeous, even without traditional markings. Her head has them but she has red patches on all white body with green eyes. Gonna replace my avatar with her soon.
I love boston teriers and i love you videos!! 😘❤️💓🤩😍🙏🙏
Thank you!
I have a female boston/ fox terrier and I am learning so much
Enjoyed the video. I exclude grains from my puppies diet. Good to know about the chicken being problematic for Boston Terriers?
Bella is trying to take care of a body issue, as you guys discuss how to solve dog body issues!😂😂😂😂
😄
So cute
STUBBORN , pain in the butt , never look them in the eye's you will melt . Lost a 12yo litte girl was like lossing a child . we have a 9 week old boy ,already a member of the family.
Oh how right you are! That is how Rose lured me to her...just was laying still and looking at me while her litter mates were going nuts! We are soooo in love! And I didn't know if I could ever have another dog after we lost our 17 year old'ish Papillion rescue dog. It liked to have killed us to let her go to Heaven. I still miss her dearly, and hope she is having the best time in her eternal life now. I can't wait to get Home to see all my loved ones when it's my time.
Hi .. you really give good information about Boston. Anyway I planning to get 1 soon. However abit worry on health issues. Do Boston have any kind of health issue
This is a really good new puppy video! I can't get out to do much d/t being disabled. Even taking her out is very challenging for me. Bending down to put the halter that fits her now is too hard for me much of the time. My husband and I are spoiled to having a dog that just goes out to potty then comes back in without a leash...but her safety is the priority. I wanted to put the halter on and leave it on her but my husband will not let me do that. Being on disability I can't afford to pay for training sessions, that and I am agoraphobic and don't do social myself. I agree with her about the diet she feeds and I will rewind this to see what she feeds her dogs/puppy. Every single dog I've had has been allergic to chicken and grains. I had to feed baby rice and baby (real human baby food) lamb, ham, etc... I've got to re-watch now! Thank you!
If she used her kibble to do the training instead of feeding times out of a bowl...how does she use the probiotic??? Or is the probiotic just for after they are a year old?
Could you do an update with Rebekah now that her Boston would be just over a year old? How was the dreaded puppy teenage phase?
Ziggy now needs a Lady Stardust !! She’s darling!
Love this Chanel I see a lot of things my Boston does. Like the only time she barks os to get attention usually at me. The nab. Didn't know she knew how until a week ago because she wanted to greet them home after a week of them being gone lol. Other wise we never hear her barking. Plus she always has to have the last word when I tell her no lol.
I’ve never heard not to feed Boston’s chicken. Chunk is 12 years old and eats chicken that I boil for him. Vet approved and he’s not allergic to anything. He does love the freeze dried organ meats. And I must say he hasn’t a mean bone in his body, has no bad habits, not just saying that because I’m his mom, he’s The Best... quite the Ladies man... that wears Speedos at the beach!
Never heard the chicken thing before. We just recently adopted a 5 year old Boston after losing our 13 year old baby. Our vet told us to avoid chicken due to allergies as well.
All of my dogs have developed allergies to chicken and grains. I've had rescues up until now, so this is our first puppy. Finding the right food is always a challenge. I'm considering making her food. Maybe get the dehydrated beef liver to do training with. All the good foods are so expensive! And you still have to find ones that don't have GMO's, grains, and other gas producing ingredients. I can make her food cheaper than I can buy quality dog foods. Only thing that concerns me is my own health is not good...IDK what to do!
Hey. I'm from PEI. where did you end up finding your lil redhead? She's adorable 😍
My boston will be 12 weeks this weekend. We have been using puppy pads for housetraining because in Canada it is too cold for a 4 lb puppy to go outside. My question is now the it is warming up how do I transfer the training to outside?
Thank you. Where is the link for the tips?
Very helpful video. Getting my first pet Boston baby next week! What is the brand of raw food she talks about?
I've watched it a few times already, and still need to watch and make notes! lol
When she says in the first 12 weeks, is that after he/she has had both their puppy vaccinations?
Having trouble downloading the book...
Question. I don’t like that my 4 month Boston is on royal Cain chicken …, what is the best kibble other than chicken flavor that bostons like? She seems to scratch at herself wondering if it’s an allergy to chicken??
Our boston terrier is full of energy
😊
Where can I find the show notes?
Love, love ny BTs - would never have another breed!
🙌
We live in Boston suburbs. We lost our Boston 2 years ago when he was 13. 😢 Now, we’re ready to adopt and having trouble. Of course we can buy one, do you find purchasing preferable? Do you have any leads or advice?💖🦩
@THISIS THEGIRL Are you a breeder? 😃
Super strange about the chicken thing. Our vet had our baby go on a chicken, rice, and veggies diet as a baby because he was allergic to corn - which is in so many kibbles and treats. I'll definitely be asking my vet about chicken.
Hi all,
I have a beautiful 4 months Red Boston with green ayes it has been 2 weeks and a half since I bring him home, his been doing great on the pads but I’m taking him out morning and afternoon and no poop and pee. Any tips that can help me out easy? Thank you all in advance.
It sounds like you are doing it right. You will soon start to learn their cues on when they need to go the bathroom then just adjust your taking them out schedule to that.
@@BostonTerrierSociety Thanks for your comment.
I buy the pads from the 99c store. I get 5 in a packet and I also bought a kitty litter tray and put fake grass (plastic square) in it. Our little Boston, Mia uses it like clock work. Easy to clean
What is the book?
My daughter's boston terrier is at 4 years old and she got a new french bulldog puppie and the boston bit part of its ear off and now she want s to get rid of the boston. What can she do?
It’s not the Bostons fault. How do u give away a fur baby u had for four years. Sorry to say but that’s cold 🥶
It’s her fault for not introducing them properly and if all else fails you bring the second one back to breeder .
My dogs is named ziggy my mom said she wanted to name him after ziggy stardust (we couldn't agree on another name)
I’ve heard about chicken before, but it’s so difficult to find food free from chicken.
Are they hiper active
Bostonterrier very cute
😍
Ha, my five month old boy Logan is almost as big as Bella. He’s 17.2 pounds but not fat. Just big. His dad was 30 pounds. He was the biggest in the litter. At eight weeks he was 8 pounds. 🤣
Bella is my service dog I'm ret military
Can a Boston terrier be born with a tail??
Very odd about the meeting of dogs and people within the first 12 weeks. Most breeders would never suggest that. Puppies are not fully vaccinated at 12 weeks and it is very dangerous to socialize them to that extent at that age. I'll stick with my vets suggestions.
First 🤙
That's all we ever fear our bt is raw meat. He was way healthy but died of old age rip little guy
So sorry for your loss
Great video but please don’t use gorilla glue on your skin or your hair. lol
😄
O she has no tail at all
No chicken!!?? 😲😲😲😲
Even deaf boston's are easy to train 😊
@Aljorie Stallings neglect my husband rescued him and by the time he got him he lost his hearing because of a ear infection.
