Boston Terrier Mix

Is a Boston Terrier Mix the Right Dog for You?

A Boston Terrier mix is created by crossing a purebred Boston Terrier with another purebred dog. The mix is what is sometimes referred to as a "designer dog" or "hybrid dog".

These dogs are not the usual "mutts" whose backgrounds are unknown. A hybrid dog is a combination of two purebred dogs with known lineage. Hybrid dogs are becoming more and more popular. They are usually are bred to produce a new dog that will ideally have the best characteristics of both parent breeds. Unfortunately, any variation of qualities from either breed may apprear in the hybrid dog.

If you are considering a hybrid dog, research the characteristics for both breeds to be sure there's nothing in either parent breed that would make them an undesirable pet for you.

The American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), the main registry for hybrid dogs, currently recognizes over 500 designer breed crosses, including the Boston Terrier Mixes listed below.
