What not to love about Boston Terriers?

Last night my boyfriend asked me about what I love about Bostons. What made me want to get that particular breed and why I'm thinking of breeding them. So I replied, what's not to love (except perhaps the stinky gas and loud snoring lol)? I told him how they love to be loved. They love snuggling and cuddling. They "listen" and learn quickly. They're pretty friendly. Jack's a bit protective at first, but then he warms up once he gets to know you. Jack will bark if he hears a noise. If Emma barks, it's not an actual 'bark' it's more of a whiney howl sound. Which I think is adorable. When they do something bad, they know it and they try not to do it again.

I have a popcorn tin from last Christmas that I put all the dog toys in and if I even tap on the lid, Jack comes running out into the living room cuz he knows what it is. I let him pick out which toy he wants. I use to sprawl out the toys onto the floor, but with Emma I can't do that anymore. Reason being is that there's so many toys for Jack to pick that he takes him a few mins, so Emma will grab a toy, then if he's still deciding, she'll come back and grab another toy. So she'll have a couple of toys in the living room by the time he grabs one.

If I'm upset about something, it's like Jack knows and will try to comfort me. Almost a year ago, my dad and eldest brother found a Sheltie, we named her Shelly, along a busy road. They feared she'd be hit, so they picked her up and brought her home. My dad went back to the area where he found her and no one was missing her. My dad came across a mechanic shop and the owner said that people abandon their unwanted pets there. Which I dislike when people do that. I believe she was mistreated. We had her for about a year, and when Jack was around 6 or 7 mos old, Shelly died. I went to my parents' bedroom, told my mom, and cried cuz she was a good dog and we were getting pretty attached. Jack saw me crying, so without hesitation, he came up and snuggled with me. Even my mom was surprised to see him do that because our other two dogs don't.

So they're pretty smart.

Esp, now that I have two BT's, my mom wants one. lol I believe BT's are like M&M's. They're really sweet and you can't have just one.
