I have a great Boston Terrier Bulldog puppy and I’m researching the breed. any helpful info would be appreciated.
I looooove Bostons! I really miss mine =(
Here is some quick info, below are some links for more indepth info about the breed standards, common health problems etc.
Boston Terriers (not Boston Terrier Bulldog) are highly intelligent, friendly and full of energy but do not require extensive exercise. Their short coat is sleek and requires minimal grooming, they are on average about 15lbs (10 to 25.) They are one of the few breeds to originate in the US and were included in the AKC in 1893. Despite their name they technically are not terriers and are part of the non-sporting group. Not surprisingly they are also the mascot of Boston University.
A Boston’s favorite thing in life is to be with his/her family, they are amazing loving companions for all ages, they exude character. They can be great watchdogs but tend not to be barky overall. They are easy to train but because they are so smart they can occasionally be headstrong and decide that, despite their training, they would prefer not to do what you are asking. Like all Brachycephalic (short nosed) breeds they do tend to snore, grunt and are extremely sensitive to high temperatures. Care must be taken to make sure they do not overheat.
Not to mention they are absolutely adorable!

Aww…
one thing is that they get really jealous pretty easily, so you have to give them a lot of attention and love.
good luck!

But honestly, you should have done research before getting the dog.
anyway
they are great first dogs and notorious farters
not that great of a guard dog though
If you go on google and type in Boston terrier info you’ll get a bunch of stuff.
