Prepare for unexpected vet bills
When the Boston Terrier and the Italian Greyhound are mixed together, the conceived breed is known as the Boston Iggy. Since this designer dog is quite rare compared to others, there is not much data about them. However, since both parent breeds have plenty of similarities, it is safe to assume that the Iggy will inherit these qualities. For instance, both parents are small in size and athletic. Moreover, they both have high prey drives and trainable, which will likely carry over to the hybrid dog. In general, the Boston Iggy is an agile dog that is willing to please and sensitive in nature. With a commanding but kind owner, this breed will truly thrive.Â
Since both the Boston Terrier and Italian Greyhound possess a high prey drive and impressive speed, the Boston Iggy hybrid will most likely inherit these qualities. Hence, it only makes sense for the Boston Iggy to regularly engage in activities such as the flirt pole game. A flirt pole is a training device that doubles as a toy for your dog. A lure, typically in the form of a plastic toy, is attached to a string of yarn or rope, which is then attached to a pole. The handler then uses this to attract the dog’s attention and get them to move and run around. It’s a great way to train your dog in self-control while also getting them physically and mentally stimulated.
One of the many joys of dog ownership is spending time with your pooch. There are many activities that dogs and their owners can try together, one of which is canicross. Essentially, canicross is simply cross-country running but with the added twist of having your dog with you. It is an activity that benefits the health of both you and your furbaby. In addition, it helps to establish an even stronger and closer relationship between the two of you. The Boston Iggy is also a great choice for this activity because this breed is a speed demon and needs a lot of exercise in order to stay happy.Â
The Boston Iggy is a cheerful dog that enjoys being in the company of others, be it humans or fellow pets. Like most dogs, the Iggy also loves being the center of attention. Why not make your pooch even happier by throwing a doggy party? A full-fledged party for your dog is an excellent form of socialization for them. It also allows you to have a little fun with other furparents while all your furbabies hang out together. Whether you are celebrating your dog’s birthday, graduation from training or any holiday that you can come up with, organizing a dog party is always a great idea.Â
Dogs love to spend time with their owners, whether indoors or outdoors. Turn on your television and play your favorite canine movie with your dog on your lap.Â

The perfect mixture of a watchdog, an outdoor buddy and a home companion, the Boston Iggy can easily be a great pet to have. Even though they might not be as popular as other hybrid dogs, they possess all the desirable qualities that every dog owner is looking for – affectionate, friendly and loyal to their families.
