24 THE BOSTON TERRIER 



THE REVISED BOSTON 

 TERRIER STANDARD 



The present Boston terrier standard was 

 adopted by the Boston Terrier Club on Octo- 

 ber 7, 1914, as a result of a revision recom- 

 mended by a committee appointed by the Bos- 

 ton Terrier Club. 



It was felt, in view of the fact that the dog 

 had become established all over the continent 

 among breeders and fanciers not as familiar 

 with the ideal of the breed as were the original 

 breeders and friends of the dog around Boston, 

 that a more explicit, definite standard, one that 

 could be more easily understood by the great 

 body of the dog's admirers of today, should be 

 adopted. 



It will be readily observed by a comparison 

 of the old standard, which has practically been 

 in existence since the formation of the club in 

 1891, that no vital point has been really 

 changed.
