Back Problems with Boston Terriers

I have been doing some research on different breeds of dogs and really like a lot of what the Boston Terriers have to offer. I need an energetic dog who can keep up with me, and I don’t mind somewhat hyper dogs who will keep me guessing. I am concerned, however, about the back problems associated with these dogs. I was reading that they can have problems with the patella (kneecap) which causes them to put too much weight on their front legs which can lead to curvature of the back and can be quite serious in some cases. I am hoping that if I get Boston Terrier this isn’t something I will have to deal with.
