My family and I recently lost both of our boxers. They were both very old. We adopted a boston terrier from our son-in-law(he was going to take the dog many miles from home and dump him. I don't know where my daughter found him) He is much smaller than we are used to, but he has,in a very short time, become a member of the family! I have found him to be very playful, espically with our kitten.They have become the best of friends.He also seems to be pretty bright, and loves to go with me when I take my sons to school and pick them up.I have become very fond of the breed and will likely have another soon. Does this breed have a high risk of cancer or heart problems as boxers tend to? Butch(our boston) is about 2yrs. old and seems to be very much like my boxers in that he will stay very puppyish for quite awhile.
