The Boston terrier poodle mix or Bossi-Poo is a small-sized dog that weighs around 25-50 lb (11-22 kg), while the average height of the breed is 10-15 in (25-38 cm). The breed possesses a medium-sized tail and muzzle and can be found in several variants, such as golden, dark, or light brown, black, and white.
When it comes to the temperament maintenance of the dog, the breed is regarded as quite friendly and obedient. Also, these low-maintenance dogs require regular check-ups. Like other domestic breeds, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has not evaluated the conservation status of the mixed breed.

We don't have much information regarding their breeding patterns, but like the poodle, Boston terrier, and other domestic dogs, the Bossi-Poo dogs follow the same method of breeding. Generally, breeders take care of their mating. The female Bossi-Poo goes through the heat or the estrous cycle in which the female dogs are willing to mate with male dogs. The duration of the heat cycle generally depends on the individual dog.
The gestation period of the Bossi-Poo and other domestic dogs mainly lasts for around nine weeks.

Unlike other pets, Bossi-Poo dogs generally don't need much food. Due to their small size, their masters primarily give no more than two cups of food every day. Since these dogs are prone to different health problems, quality food with high nutritional value should be given to them. People also make diet plans according to their size, age, and activity level. It is always suggested not to depend on dog products fully.
Like their parents, Boston terriers and poodles, the Bossi-Poo generally do not slobber or drool. Your pet might drool a bit while playing or cuddling with you.
