Early breeders tried to breed out any aggressive tendencies to make the Boston Terrier a companion dog that could be kept in an apartment or home with a small yard. In 1893, the Boston Terrier became the first American breed to be registered by the American Kennel Club. The Boston Terriers are also referred to as the American Gentlemen due to the tuxedo-like markings on its coat. Boston Terriers may be black with white, brindle with white, brown with white or a red-black color called seal with white. Their coats are uniformly white on the muzzle, between the eyes, on a band around the neck, on the chest and halfway up the forelegs.
