We will have our Boston for 2 years this July, and he's by far the coolest dog I've ever owned. Super smart, easy to train, doesn't bark, doesn't drool, doesn't tear up the yard, etc. . . .They are full of energy, and will need an outlet for that as well as plenty of attention. My dog is great with the kids(6and7), and wants nothing more than to play, hang out, or sleep.
Good Luck!
