The Boston Malterrier is an American breed created by mixing the Boston terrier with the Maltese. A small dog with a very emotive little face, the Boston Malterrier weighs between 4 and 10 kilograms and stands about 25 to 40 centimetres high. The coat of this expressive breed is usually medium-long and needs daily brushing. Great with people but potentially weary of small children, the Boston Malterrier enjoys constant companionship and loves to spend time with its owners. This dog is a wonderful match for seniors or retirees who are often home.

The north-eastern coastal state of Massachusetts was one of the first regions of the Americas where Europeans settled a few centuries ago. When settlers came to these shores, they often brought their canine companions along with them. There were two dogs on the Mayflower, and they didn’t take the long voyage from England just to keep their families company! Dogs were working animals in the early European settlements of Massachusetts, protecting livestock from wolves, foxes and other predators. Most of those first immigrant dogs were Mastiffs, Greyhounds and English Setters. By 1784, there were an estimated 30,000 dogs in the entire state.
Massachusetts dogs Duke and Huntah have sniffed out COVID-19 at more than a dozen schools in the state.
The Massachusetts state dog is named after the capital city: the Boston Terrier.
