The reason they have such short lives is because "The bigger the dog, The shorter the life" and they are fairly big dogs.
1 dog year is 7 dog years i think?? so 35ish
Boxer pups are safe for children if bought from a reliable source. Temperaments range from dog to dog so you have to evaluate each puppy different, not really by breed.
The book says that its a chemical reaction that happens in a dogs life so if you are worried dont be its the circle of life every dog wil get it some time in there life
They say a Human's year is 7 years to a dog because of their growth rate. So your 5 year old Boxer is 35 in dog years.
When my Boxer had puppies we sold them for about £500 each, so i would say about £400-£600. Sorry, that's all i know
Dogs are individuals. So its not breedspecific if they like to swim but some breeds are more common to love water for example retrivers which is breed to love water. Labradors are known as water dogs. Boxer dogs can have trouble breathing properly in water, as they have short muzzles and therefore are more likely to ingest water. A dog life jacket is useful to keep any dog or puppy's head above water by support at the neck, providing extra buoyancy and therefore safety. See link below for more information
Boxer dogs are defiantly not on the aggressive dog list! They are such lovely dogs, i have one myself and they are wonderful with children. When they are playing with other dogs, it may look like they are really hurting them because of the noise they are making, but they will never actually hurt the other dog. Even when they play fight with people they know that they cant be to aggressive other wise they will hurt someone. They are defiantly the BEST dog! My heeler was attacked unprovoked today at the dog park by a Boxer - and when fights break out, it always seems to be a boxer. This was not play fighting... The owner of the boxer took his dog and moved to the other dog area where it started picking fights with other dogs. Seems like they are the worst dog to bring to a dog park. They should be on the aggressive dog list. Boxer's need to be socialized from a early age, aggression can occur with any type of breed, but socialization is key. To say that a Boxer is the worst breed, which you are entitled to do so is just absolutely not true. Boxer's are great loving, kind and hilarious. Boxer's are not for all people, and can be extremely energetic at times so they need to be exercised every day.
Because of their short snouts, the boxer gulps in lots of air that needs a way to get out... This is true for all dogs. If a dog eats their food too quickly then they also take in a large amount of air with their food and the air will come out the other end. To prevent this from happening, make your dogs meals smaller but more frequent. But there are other reasons for excessive gas and the number one is exercise. If your dog is not getting DAILY exercise then the gas will get worse and worse. Also if you are feeding your dog treats and table scraps then the amount of gas will increase. Finally changing dog food can lead to dog gas along with feeding your dog low quality dog food. So in conclusion, exercise your boxer daily and find a quality dog food and stick to it and cut out the table scraps.
There are a variety of situations that would have caused this outcome. 1. The female dog was unsupervised while in heat (this is a 3 week long process) and had a multiple sire litter. This is possible to have with dogs. They are still fertile after they are bred and so another dog could have bred with her. 2. One or both are not an AKC Boxer. This is the only guarantee that they are pure boxer. They may look one way but a parent, grand or great parent may have well been a hound. So this will always contribute to the genetics of this dog(s).
I am assuming you mean the breed of dog? All you need to do is mate a full breed male boxer with a full breed female boxer. After they mate you will have full blood boxer puppies. In some area you have to have a permit to breed dogs so be sure that you have all appropriate materials and means of breeding your dog legally and properly.
boxer's are a breed of there own Actually, boxers (like many modern breeds) did originate by mixing other dog breeds. "The Boxer is part of the Molosser dog group, developed in Germany in the late 19th century from the now extinct Bullenbeisser, a dog of Mastiff descent, and Bulldogs brought in from Great Britain." (from Wikipedia) FYI - this is a perfect example of how you should think twice before believing an answer that is written with so many grammatical errors ;)
there are Golden Retriever, Husky, Beagle, Boxer, Yorkie, Pug, German Shepard Chihuahua, Schnauzer and you can mix breeds and there is a mystery dog but i don't no it so you can unlock the special dog with a code.
