Welcome

 Named after his city of origin—Boston, Massachusetts—the Boston Terrier is as American as apple pie and baseball. In 1865, Robert C. Hooper, a resident of Boston, purchased an English Bulldog–white English Terrier cross. This mixed-breed dog, with his dark brindle color and white blaze, became known as Hooper's Judge. At the time, bulldog and terrier mixes were used for the horrific sport of dog fighting and bullbaiting, and it is believed that Hooper's Judge may have been imported from England for that very purpose. Luckily, Mother Nature had other intentions, and Hooper's Judge was bred with a white female of unknown origin. Several generations of dogs later (and probably with some French Bulldog crossings), the modern Boston Terrier was born. Because the breed possessed so fine a disposition and was free of its ancestors' fighting temperament, it gained the nickname "The American Gentleman." At the time, the breed was known by the name "Round-Headed Bull and Terrier," but by 1891, it had been renamed "Boston Terrier" and the Boston Terrier Club of America (BTCA) was formed. From 1905 to 1939, the Boston Terrier was the most popular dog in the United States and today remains a popular and devoted companion dog. 

“One of the old founding lines of Bostons way back in the early 1900’s was owned by the Haggertys. Many of their Boston Terriers were born with the dot in the coat on the top of their heads, and the marking became associated with their line.”*  To this day,  most Boston Terrier dogs with this marking can be traced to the Haggerty’s Boston Terrier line (though it appears in just about any kennel program), and the marking is referred to as a “Haggerty dog”, “or a “Haggerty star.”

Vincent Perry, a respected Boston breeder, also called it “the kiss of God,” and considered it the “icing on the cake as far as perfect markings were considered.”

Molly, Hailey, & Rosey have these dots. Also we have had a few pups with them also.
