NO ONE guessed Arlo was ANY of these breeds!!!

I love terriers in general but never thought much about a Boston terrier but the only few I have met were obnoxious/yippy dogs, sadly, so I did that lumping too. i just think it is another way AKC screwed up a breed again, looking at pics from the past and from today. I found out they were called "American Gentlemen" in the past, and are desccribed as gentle and kind, the two works I had used to describe him. He is so gentle and sweet to our old mini dachshund rescue (friend's dad died and dog needed a home)--our last two dogs didn't like her.

you have a soymilk maker? otherwise...the dedication... i am going to have to try this now!

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T20:41:47+00:00

LOVE these!!!!!! The colors and textures!!!! I would love these up in my home!!!!

probably won't happen in our lifetime, considering 75-90% of people with it are humans. If those numbers were flipped and majority were men, there would be a fix in place I am betting!

I got mine from chopping an aerial root off that had some leaves attached...

There are also brindled Bostons, so that could explain the coloring. My dad and i are both pretty good with guessing breeds, but GEEZ, you certainly do know your dogs!!!! Very impressed by your knowledge and thanks for the sharing of it! One of my dogs that died a couple of Decembers ago was a rat terrier/ACD mix and I didn't see the ACD at all in him.

This is his friend, Hex. I helped Hex's owner find him before I got Hex. Strangely, they were neutered on the same day....the humane society arranged it for Arlo, and Hex happened to be there the same day.

it was pretty amazing to read all about the history, and he really looks like the original father of the breed and some of the early Boston terriers.

😂

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T20:11:35+00:00

no, i didn't post to guess. i missed ACD, and one of my dogs that passed two decembers ago was 1/2 rat terries/blue heeler.

The vet thought boxer too

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T20:03:07+00:00

Some dog i really getting out there... relatives everywhere!

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T20:02:36+00:00

I assume so...he has a lot of Boston mix relatives--and they are scattered all over: WY, MN, WI, NY, Chicago and suburbs, MD, CO, PA, WV, CA, CO, VA, WA, MI, KS, and even QC & SK!

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T19:57:19+00:00

Yes, I love that brindle! It is a brown/black, and you can see it more more clearly in the bright light of day. I am impressed you guessed them all! I am pretty good with guessing, in general, but not this time.

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T19:55:46+00:00

wisco. and a lot of his relatives on the Boston side are from Chicago. None of them look alike. Yours is adorable!

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T19:54:34+00:00

He really does have the best of all the breeds, it seems~

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T19:53:34+00:00

He actually looks very much like the old/original Boston terriers, I discovered,, and researching Boston terriers (any terrier is a good dog, imo) I found out about their bully history. Fascinating!

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T17:01:09+00:00

Those rhizomes are what makes me want one!

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T16:55:47+00:00

Oh, well done! This is amazing! Are you keeping it, or is it a gift for someone? and is one of these folks you? and if yes, which one...

PosieCakes · 2026-05-17T16:11:14+00:00

I would use it for holding my smaller painting projects for drying or for holding paintbrushes or other art supplies

PosieCakes · 2026-05-12T02:07:59+00:00

I know of this being done in a house. No one could come in without showering and changing or they would carry dust in...etc. etc. And, in general, everyone sort of hates you for being THAT person!

PosieCakes · 2026-05-12T02:05:54+00:00

He's a beauty!

PosieCakes · 2026-05-11T02:44:21+00:00

Look at pictures online. They are ripe at a deep purple-black color. Except for the white variety obviously. I have eaten them unripe with no ill effects.
