 Something To Howl About!  they will steal your Boston Terrier right from your yard. It turns out that in illegal dog-fighting rings, Boston Terriers are now considered the perfect "bait" for training Pit Bulls to fight, for three reasons: 1) They look like small Pit Bulls, so young Pits in training will learn to go after dogs that have that similar shape and build while not getting harmed in the training process since the Boston is much smaller. 2) Bostons, unlike many other small breeds, have a lot of Bulldog characteristics and are thus willing fight back until death. Therefore, unlike other "bait" dogs, they do more than simply stand there and let themselves get torn up and will better prepare the Pits for fighting--again, without posing too much danger of the "trainee" getting hurt since the much-smaller Boston doesn't stand a chance. 3) This is the perhaps the most stomach-churning. Fighting dogs are trained to go for the neck and throat of the opponent, and the white collar of the Boston allows a training dog's owner to more easily tell how much damage his charge is able to inflict. PLEASE be aware of this trend since Bostons are apparently being sought-after as bait dogs. We have seen this in the Chicago and Detriot areas. It's much better to be safe than sorry. | Home | Available Dogs | Apply to Adopt | Foster | Volunteer | Donate | | Happy Tails | Memorial Donations | The Rainbow Bridge | | Contact Us | Thank you | Shop Our Affiliates | | Something to Howl About | Copyright 2007 Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue All Rights Reserved |
