Boston Terrier Names

Looking For Terrier Names That Fit?

Boston Terrier names should reflect the personality of these small, spunky pooches. Very intelligent, short haired dogs, their pouting faces make them appear sad but they tend to be very happy pups if loved and cared for by their humans.

These dogs were bred in Boston, as the breed name indicates, but were intended to be fighting dogs. Today's pets of these breed don't have a strong desire to fight unless it becomes necessary in order to defend themselves or their human "pack".

The coats of these small, short-legged companions range from black and white to brown and white or brindled and white. They tend to have colored ears and eye areas with white on portions of the face, neck, shoulders, front legs, rear paws, and underbelly.

Some terrier names to consider for your sidekick include:

Bossy: Great for either a male or female, this name is a "short version" of Boston, the city of their origin.
