Black and White Boston Terrier Puppies

The black and white Boston Terrier is the breed's signature look: a glossy black coat with a white blaze between the eyes, a white muzzle band and a white chest. That sharp contrast is why Bostons earned the nickname "the American Gentleman".

Black with white markings is one of the three colors named in the AKC breed standard (alongside brindle and seal), so a well-marked black and white Boston is as classic as it gets, whether they're headed for a family sofa or the show ring.

In bright sunlight some black puppies show a faint reddish or striped sheen. That usually means seal or brindle, so we confirm each puppy's color in person before registering it.

Black & White Boston Terrier FAQ

Is black and white the most common Boston Terrier color?

Yes. Black and white (along with seal and brindle) is the traditional, standard coloring and the one most people picture when they think of a Boston Terrier.

Do black and white Boston Terrier puppies change color?

The black stays black, but the white markings look proportionally smaller as a puppy grows, and a puppy that looks black indoors can turn out to be seal or brindle in sunlight.
