Judge, America’s first Boston Terrier, reached the nation’s shores in 1870. Arriving from Liverpool, the dog looked much more like an English Bulldog than the energetic, tuxedo-colored breed we know today. More than a century and several generations of breeding later, the Boston Terrier is a perennial favorite among America’s dog lovers and a sprightly addition to any home.
