Vulnerable Also To Respiratory Illnesses
Many Boston Terriers have respiratory difficulties and, thus, a tendency to snore or wheeze. Their prominent, bulging eyes make them more vulnerable to eye injuries. These dogs also have a tendency toward juvenile cataracts. Boston Terriers need about 20 to 40 minutes of exercise each day. However, because they love to play with their owners and their toys, long walks are generally unnecessary. Boston Terriers have an average life span of 12 to 15 years. If good health is maintained, members of this breed can live as long as 18 years. Today’s Boston Terrier is known for being playful, affectionate, and well mannered.
