Boston Terrier stud dogs with eye and hearing results
The tuxedo coat makes the Boston Terrier easy to spot. Its health needs are less obvious: eyes, hearing and breathing all deserve a close look before a breeding. Therefore, VerifiedStuds shows each stud's test results, weight class and fee, from an identity-verified owner.

Claim this spotBoston Terrier stud fees generally run from $500 to $1,500. A health-tested male without titles often charges $500 to $1,000. In contrast, AKC champions and proven show-line sires usually ask $1,500 to $2,500.
Treat these as market estimates, since fees are private. Keep in mind that many Boston litters are delivered by C-section, so the female's owner already faces high costs. Our stud fee guide explains how to agree fair terms.

The Boston Terrier Club of America sets three tests for a CHIC number. The AKC lists them on its Non-Sporting Group health testing page. Owners upload these results for the Verified Health badge:
Test
What we accept
Eyes

Hearing

Patellas
Veterinary patellar luxation exam, registered with OFA
Brucellosis
Negative test taken before the breeding
Deafness is linked to heavy white markings on the head, so the BAER hearing test matters. In addition, a DNA test for juvenile hereditary cataracts (HSF4) is widely used. Finally, ask about breathing, because Bostons are a short-faced breed. Registered results can be checked on the OFA website.
To learn what BAER, eye and patella results mean, see our health testing guides. Read the full Boston Terrier health testing guide.
First, check the weight class. The AKC divides Bostons into under 15 pounds, 15 to under 20 pounds, and 20 to 25 pounds. A male much heavier than the female can produce puppies that are too large for her.
Next, look at color and markings. The standard accepts black, brindle or seal with white. Colors sold as rare, such as blue, lilac or red, are disqualified from the show ring. They also tell you nothing about health.
Finally, study his head and breathing. Wide nostrils and a quiet, easy breath at rest are good signs. Also ask about the size of his head, since large-headed puppies are one reason C-sections are common in the breed.
The AKC describes the Boston Terrier as friendly, bright and amusing. Nicknamed the American Gentleman, the breed was developed in Boston in the late 1800s. In 1893 it became one of the first American breeds recognized by the AKC.
Bostons ranked 23rd in AKC registrations for 2025. They are lively, people-loving and well suited to city life. Because of the health points above, a tested sire is worth the extra search.
Bostons can mate naturally, yet many breeders prefer artificial insemination. It avoids overheating in a short-faced dog and helps when the pair differ in size. Chilled semen also widens your choice of tested sires. Each profile lists the methods the owner offers.
See the dog artificial insemination guide for timing and costs. Then read how VerifiedStuds works.

How much is a Boston Terrier stud fee?
Most owners charge $500 to $1,500. However, champions and proven show-line sires can ask up to $2,500.
What health tests should a Boston Terrier stud have?
The parent club list covers an eye exam, a BAER hearing test and a patella exam. We also need a negative brucellosis test before breeding.
What is a BAER test?
It is a hearing test that measures the brain's response to sound in each ear. Therefore, it can find a dog that is deaf on one side.
Do Boston Terriers need C-sections?
Many do, because puppies have large heads and females have narrow hips. Your vet should plan the delivery with you.
Can other short-faced breeds be listed?
Yes. Every breed is welcome on VerifiedStuds.
