How to read the standard
The Boston Terrier should look compact, square and balanced, without any part throwing the dog out of proportion.
The standard emphasizes an alert expression, high intelligence, friendly character and suitability as a companion dog.
Correct white markings, a short bright coat, and brindle, seal or black coloring are part of the breed's visual identity.
The Boston Terrier is a lively, highly intelligent, short-coated, short-headed, compact dog with a short tail and good balance. The breed should give an impression of determination, strength, activity and style, with easy, graceful movement.
Balance, expression, color and white markings are especially important when evaluating the overall appearance.
