Bossi-Poo

The Bossi-Poo is a mix of the Boston Terrier and the Poodle, both pure breed dogs. The Boston Terrier, believed to be descended from bull and terrier types, originated from and first became popular in Boston, hence the name. It is not, strictly speaking, a terrier, however, as its physical attributes and personality are markedly different from a terrier's. It is a gentle and fun home companion, considered dashing in the way it carries itself, and generally friendly and sociable towards other dogs and people. There are fighting and out dogs in its bloodlines, but the Boston Terrier is more popular as a house pet or lap dog. The Poodle, originally a German gun dog and water retriever, is considered one of the most intelligent and versatile dogs today. Bred in at least three different sizes, the Poodle is known the world over as excelling in various fields, such as obedience, agility, tracking, herding, and conformation shows.
