- Sensitive to Weather: Their short coats and flat faces make them vulnerable in both hot and cold weather. They need to be indoor dogs with climate control.
- Can Be Stubborn: While trainable, some Bostons have a stubborn streak and may test boundaries—especially as puppies.
- Health Concerns: Eye problems, skin allergies, and joint issues are not uncommon. Regular vet care is important to keep them happy and healthy.
