Appearance
Frequently, variations on the standard are seen depending on the ancestry of the individual dog. At various times, the Bulldog, English Mastiff, and French Bulldog?€”among other breeds?€”have been crossbred with Boston Terrier lines to minimize inbreeding in what is necessarily a small gene pool.

Size
Boston Terriers are typically small, compactly built, well proportioned dogs with erect ears, short tails, and a short muzzle that should be free of wrinkles. They usually have a square sort of face. According to international breed standard, the dog should weigh no less than 10 pounds and no more than 25 pounds. Few Boston Terriers weigh between 30 and 40 pounds, and most are considered healthy and not overweight due to their larger-than-average frame. Boston Terriers usually stand 15-17 inches at the withers.

[edit] Coat and color

The Boston Terrier is characteristically marked with white in proportion to either black, brindle, seal, or a combination of the three. Seal is a color specifically used to describe Boston Terriers and is defined as a black color with red highlights when viewed in the sun or bright light. If all other qualities are identical, brindle is the preferred color according to most breed standards.

Ideally, white should cover its chest, muzzle, band around the neck, half way up the forelegs, up to the hocks on the rear legs, and a white blaze between but not touching the eyes. For conformation showing, symmetrical markings are preferred. Due to the Boston Terrier's markings resembling formal wear, in addition to its refined and pleasant personality, the breed is commonly referred to as the "American Gentleman."
