It seems like every few yrs a new fad dog surfaces at the expense of the breed. Puppymills begin pumping out pups without reguard of quality of the breed.. as long as it resembles what they supposed to look like with no concern to health issues.

So far in my travels around the country I haven't really seen an explosion of Boston's, but I'm sure the awareness of the breed has increased no thanks to the advertising campains with several commercials as of late on TV.

I often have people ask me about Charlie and the breed in general. I do my best to inform people of what I have experienced with Charlie. Of course Charlie isn't your typical Boston... lol I have to admit though, for a rescue with issues when I first got him, he really has turned out to be a fine animal.... with a mind of his own (maybe I should have gotten a cat..LOL) Seriously... I don't think Bostons are not for everyone unless they are commited to this type of breed. I surely hope this breed doesn't become exploited just because it is becoming more popular with the media.
