While the exact origin of the Boston terrier is questionable, as more than one story abounds, it is true that it is an American breed. Some say that the dog is a result of crossing the English bulldog with a white English terrier. According to this account, it is said that around 1870, a Bostonian named William O'Brien sold "Judge" - an imported dog - to a fellow Bostonian named Robert C. Hooper. According to this story, "Hooper's Judge" is the original ancestor to the modern Boston terrier. Hooper's Judge was mated with a female dog, reportedly named either "Gyp" or "Kate," and the offspring was a dog named "Wells' Eph." Wells' Eph was mated with "Tobin's Kate" and the Boston terrier breed is said to have evolved from these four dogs. Another story is similar, and claims that at around 1865, coachmen who were working for wealthy families in Boston were the ones who started to interbreed some of their employers' dogs......
