Boston terrier [breed] (English spelling)
A domestic dog originating from the United States. One of the few dog breeds native to the United States, it was developed in the late 19th century in the Boston area by crossbreeding a bulldog and a French bulldog with some small terrier blood. It was bred to have desirable characteristics, aiming to be a cheerful, agile, and active small dog. It has large, round eyes, a short muzzle, and smooth, short fur that is black or brindle in color, with the muzzle, bridge of the nose, top of the head, neck, chest, and extremities colored pure white, forming the so-called Boston mark.
