Boston Terrier in Toile: Canvas

A Boston Terrier in the tradition of antique toile textiles — crisp, finely drawn detail, a compact and upright profile, and the neat markings that earned this breed its reputation for good manners. The generous white ground keeps the composition clean and open, drawing on the visual language of traditional sporting prints and blue-and-white porcelain. The Boston Terrier is one of the very few breeds to have originated in the United States, developed in Boston in the 1870s from a single dog named Judge. The American Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1893, and its impeccable manners earned it a nickname it has never lost: the American Gentleman.
