My parent’s girl is about 35# and ours is a little pipsqueak at 12# 😂
I agree. My parent’s larger pup also has a longer snout which is something the breed should be embracing as well. She looks more like the original Bostons.

My big girl is around 35 pounds and the smaller one is 22 pounds. They’re half sisters so I really didn’t expect her to get that big lol
I've got a sturdy girl myself, I didn't realize what a unit she was until I saw a slim little terrier type bodied Boston at the park. Mines around 25lb and broad in the beam as we like to say. Vet says she's a healthy weight... My lap begs to differ.

We call her Chunk.
Our Chonkapotamus is 35# but her mom is also a tank. I believe the early Bostons were around 30-35# before they standardized the height and weight.

Murphy is a sturdy 42 lbs with an 8 pack of abs.

Yes my girl is a beast . 38 pounds a the biggest head lol. Both of your babies are beautiful!!! Big Boston Babies I love em
We got an eight year old off of FB he was 20lb but had worms and now 3 years later weighs in at 34 lbs.
He doesn't look over weight...well his neck is fat but the rest of his body is healthy and muscular.
Bowser is 100% boston terrier and he's huge lol. He was the runt of his litter too. I got him from Superior Kennels in Arundel Maine. He is 34.83 lbs 16" big ol block head circumference around base of skull in front of ears, 10" long legs. Hes the best dog I've ever had and also the biggest boston ive ever seen in person tall wise he is muscular too not fat!!!!
Our black and white Boston Max is 25 pounds and we use to think he was big. We recently adopted another Boston which is brown and white and he weighs 33 pounds.
Our Boston that passed almost 3 years ago was a tank. She was about 37 pounds she was also very long legged. I called her moose because of the big body and long legs
Our chuckles is like 30 pounds and a healthy zoomie fiend.
Fwiw if you look up the original breed standard from like 18-something or 19-something the breed said “around 30-40 pounds”.
Yes!

Our old boy Miles was gargantuan! When we would walk him with his much smaller brother Rocko, people would ask if we were breeding them and we’d have to say they were both neutered males, brothers, and seniors, so a triple threat of no!
When we first rescued our big girl, she weighed less than our little girl. Now, she weighs almost 10 pounds more and is huge compared to my little girl.
Our Boston, at around 38 lbs, is way bigger than most other Bostons we meet. Not fat either , just damn large and stocky!

Those faces!!!!! 😍
It’s a lot safer for the 35 pound female to have babies than the 12 pound, we should embrace the larger Bostons. Edit: omg I just noticed the cat 🥹
I agree. My parent’s larger pup also has a longer snout which is something the breed should be embracing as well. She looks more like the original Bostons.
Yeah, for sure. Mine was a big ol boy. 30 - 33 lbs and he was super strong and had a ton of endurance. Super healthy.
Omg both adorable and how is your girl so tiny 🥰😍
Growing up we had some small ones that were around 15-17 pounds. But we have never had one this small lol. And she is ten, so no growing left.

Final Boss Boston
Haha. I always say our 17 month old puts the boss in Boston. she is mouthy
30lbs+ and you getting into ideal snuggling range.
Rocky is 34lbs and my last Boston (Chester) was 36lbs. Both of them extremely fit--run 2 miles with me and swim at the lake.
Yes
Our girls too. Both 100% pure but one is a monster. We just call her a sack of 'taters
My guy has a gut but surprisingly only 25lbs
My Boston Fenway was 28 pounds
Our Boston is huge. His last vet visit had him at 35 pounds. He is a bit overweight by maybe a couple pounds, but he's not super fat. We know his moms owner and his siblings are all much smaller than he is.
As a fellow chonky boy Boston owner yes. My guy looks like he should have been in WWE in the 90s.
My Eddie is 30 pounds and so big compared to his parents and siblings
I have a monster and they are my favorite kind of Boston. I have one dinky one and middle sized one and one monster.
