(Boston Terrier and Pekingese mix) The Bostinese can take on the stature of either parent breed. It may be sturdy and stout as the Boston Terrier, or long like the Pekingese. The snout is usually square but not pug nosed. Often the coat is seen in black and white, but this may vary as well.
The Bostinese gets very attached to its owner. It gets on well with children and other pets, but will be wary of strangers at first. Treated with lots of love and affection, you will find this hybrid to be a happy playful companion.
The following health concerns can be passed down from the parent breeds; Stenotic Nares, Patellar Luxation, Distichiasis, along with eye issues and deafness.
If the coat is lengthy you may wish to consider a professional groom. Otherwise, regular brushing and combing with some slight trimming of problem areas is suggested.
Moderate exercise is suited for the Bostinese. Playtime with their owner is needed for this playful hybrid to stay happy. Apartment life if taken on regular walks and trips to the park is fine. They do not adapt well to high heat climates.
