What is a Boxer?
You will recognize the Boxer by its tough, muscled exterior, wrinkled expression, and high energy antics. But, did you know that Boxers are sweet-tempered family dogs?
They are protective and loyal and love to follow their owners everywhere. This affection pup will greet you with excited, slobbery kisses!
Boxers are a medium to large purebred dog that comes from Germany. The American Kennel Club recognized the Boxer breed in 1904, and its popularity skyrocketed in the United States.
Boxers have smooth, short coats that are typically fawn, brindle, or white. Their faces often have a black mask with a few white markings.
Boxers are energetic and need daily exercise, including fetch, games, and long walks. Boxer puppies take a few years to fully mature, so their puppy energy is endless for around three years.
Remember to limit treats with Boxers and Boxer mixes, as this can cause obesity.
Boxers are prone to health issues, including hip dysplasia, but oftentimes these health concerns are lessened with a crossbreed dog.
Feeding your Boxer high-quality dog food, along with daily exercise, can help your pup reach a lifespan of 10-12 years.
Your Boxer mix will inherit many of the Boxer traits in addition to the other parent dog breed.
