I took a call the other day at the Humane Society from a man asking if we ever had Boston Bulldogs in. I had never heard of them, and told him we never got them in. He said they were pretty rare and definitely not Boston Terriers. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they a breed?

Probably some over bred designer mutt...
Either that, or someone might be a little loupy. You know, like people who think that mini collies and mini dobies are a breed. Did say it was a mix?

Yeah, "designer dog" was my first thought, too. Possibly a Boston/Frenchie mix.

Maybe this is what they meant?

I had an Olde Boston Bulldog in one of my puppy classes. According to the owner, they are the dogs that the Boston Terrier originated from, not a designer breed at all. The dog was lovely, not as exaggerated as many BTs I've seen and had a nice temperament.
