What breeds were used to create the Boston Terrier?

The Boston Terrier is a breed of dog that was created by crossbreeding the English Bulldog and the White English Terrier. The breed was developed in the 19th century in Boston, Massachusetts, by a man named Robert C. Hooper. Hooper was looking to create a dog that was both small and strong, and that could be used for hunting and ratting. The Boston Terrier quickly became popular in the United States, and it was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1893.
