The Boston Terrier And All About It - A Practical, Scientific, And Up To Date Guide To The Breeding Of The American Dog (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic) By Edward Axtell A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT This excellent and important work on the Boston Terrier or "American Dog", was first published in Battle Creek U.S.A. in 1910. It is now both expensive and very hard to locate in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The author was proprietor of St. Botolph Kennels, member of The Boston Terrier Club of New York and a leading light in Boston Terrier circles of that era.

Some fifteen comprehensive chapters deal with the Boston Terrier's origins from an English bull dog cross, through to its early breeding and management: The Boston Terrier. - The Boston Terrier Club and Official Standard. - Kenneling. - Hints on Breeding. - Rearing. - Breeding for Size. - Breeding for Good Disposition. - Breeding for a Vigorous Constitution. - Breeding for Colour and Markings. - Sales. - Boston Terrier Type and the Standard. - Picture Taking. - Conclusions. - Technical Terms Used in Relation to the Boston Terrier.

|  The Boston Terrier (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic) - $29.99
THE BOSTON TERRIER By E. J. Rousuck. A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT Originally published in 1926, this scarce early work on the Boston Terrier is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have now republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The Boston Terrier is fondly known as "The American Dog." It is supposedly the only dog originally bred in America and, like everything else truly American, they came from Boston Town. The author's aim in this work was to "rehearse the principal factors in both the human and technical sides of the history of the Boston Terrier." It is intended to give the reader an expert's guide as to the rearing, showing, and the fundamentals as to what constitutes a really typical Boston Terrier. The book's two hundred pages contain ten comprehensive and illustrated chapters: The Melting Pot of Dogdom. - Origins. - Characteristics of the Head. - Characteristics of the Body. - Training and Feeding the Youngsters. - Showing. - Diseases. - Foundation Strains. - Relation of the Present Day Strains to Foundation Strains. - Boston Terrier Standard. - Index. Also present are many black and white photos of Champions plus text illustrations. This is a fascinating read for any Boston Terrier enthusiast or historian of the breed, and also contains much information that is still practical and useful today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

|  Boston Terriers: The Early Years - $34.95
I am reading the book Boston Terriers, The Early Years, by Cathy J. Flamholtz. I started it in the car on my way to pick up my new puppy, so far it has been fun to read. It is a collection of text written around the turn of the century (1880's to the 1930's)about the development of 'Americas Dog' or the early Boston Terrier.
As an artist and OBB/BT enthusiast I have especially enjoyed reading chapter four dedicated to artist and cartoonist Robert L. Dickey (1861-1944). An avid animal lover, Dickey started painting animals as a young kid. He later advanced his career by sketching horses for a prominent sporting magazine. In the 1930s he became know for his newspaper strips 'Mr. and Mrs. Beans', 'Buster Beans' and 'Buckey and his Pals'. Dickey also illustrated dog cartoons for Life magazine and for other advertisers from 1914 to 1930. A smattering of these illustrations are in Flamholtz book.
I am finding that Dickey truly captured the character of these early Boston breeds. He often illustrates from the puppies perspective and incorporates many other adult animals and dogs in his cartoons. From their little wiggly bottoms to their run-and-tumble adventures, visually the cartoons are spot-on. They also illustrate funny topics that OBB or BT owners should easily relate too.
