If a dog is half pit bull and half shepherd what would the puppies look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I have a pitbull boxer. Her mom was a rednose pit and dad was a boxer. she was the runt of the litter so is probably a little smaller than average. she is an extremely well behaved dog that was easy to train. She has a great demeanor and knows a bunch of commands. She was very calm and submissive naturally so that helps.

Here she is at 6 months and 41 lbs:

these next few are @ 12 weeks and 14 lbs:

I also have a Pitbul boxer. These dogs look like pitbuls, but have the body of a boxer so, 1. they are smaller and more friendly & 2. Most have small tails.

That's pretty much it and kudos to the top answer

What kind of food can a boxer dog eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A 2nd Step food by Esbilac has the consistency of a cereal and yet is not difficult to mix up like breaking down dog food would be. This topic is covered in depth in the article below. Added: I use a mixture of baby rice cereal, puppy can food and puppy milk replacement. I use a very soupy consistancy and gradually make it less liquid and cereal and more canned food while adding hard kibble.

How old does a boxer breed live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Boxers usually live around 12 years, but are kind of prone to some diseases or issues. 12 years is a good estimate if you take good care of your boxer. My old boxer died at only 6 1/2, because sadly he got cancer and had something wrong with his heart. It all depends! :)

What is the boxer dogs habitat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They originate from Germany, which has very hot summers, but they're very adaptable dogs. They can live almost anywhere. As with most dogs, it's best that they have space to run about all day (like my two, Penny and Polo), but the can live in towns too. As long as they are walked regularly. They have a lot of energy. They shed very little and make excellent guard dogs :)

Are pitbulls compatible with boxer dogs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It would depend on the individual dogs. Staffs (at least American Staffordshire Terriers) are fairly similar in type and size to a Boxer. Both have similar energy levels and exercise requirements. If both individual dogs are sociable with others, and if they are of opposite gender, you would stand a fair chance of them getting along. However, remember that both breeds can be "scrappy" and you would want to monitor them when together, and separate them when you leave the house. Just in case.

What country did boxer dogs come from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Boxer was developed from European bulldogs and originates from Germany, where he was bred to be a fighting dog and a bull baiter. Actually the Boxer is part of the Molosser dog group, developed in Germany in the late 1800s from the now extinct Bullenbeisser , a dog of Mastiff descent, and Bulldogs brought in from Great Britain .The Bullenbeisser had been working as a hunting dog for centuries, employed in the pursuit of bear, wild boar, and deer. Its task was to seize the prey and hold it until the hunters arrived. In later years, faster dogs were favored and a smaller Bullenbeisser was bred in Brabant, in northern Belgium. It is generally accepted that the Brabanter Bullenbeisser was a direct ancestor of today's Boxer.

How many puppys does a 1 year boxer dog have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My Boxer had 10 puppies two weeks ago. it was her first litter, but that is uncommon. you should take her to the vet and have them do an ultra sound and an exray to count the puppies. The cost is nominal, but it is best to make sure you know how many there are, because a first time mommy can stop delivering with a baby still inside.

How long are boxer dogs pregnant for?

User Avatar

Asked by Meggy1234

As far as I know, dogs (all of them) usually have their first heat at about 6 months of age. The signs can range from bloody discharge, wanting to roam, turning their tail to one side when petted near their rear area, more whining than usual. The best way to know, is to contact your local vet. Hope this helps.

How fast do starfish grow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer is entirely dependant on the species to which you refer, and there are over 2000 known species of starfish to choose from.

Generally speaking the lifespan is longer in larger species. For example, Leptasterias hexactis reaches sexual maturity in two years, and lives for about ten years in total, while Pisaster ochraceus reaches maturity in five years, and may live to the age of 34.

What is the age of UK oldest boxer dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

hello our boxer dog giles is 16, he's got a few lumps and bumps and have took him to vets lots of times and he is still going strong we thought looking at his lumps and bumps he would have been put down by now but he is still with us and seems to be very energetic Our boxer Hilde is documented at 17 1/2 years old and sadly we are taking her in today to be euthanized She has a wonderful spirit and has had a full life. She used to be a construction dog and went to the job every day with our beloved father Ray Nelson.

As at 7 February 2011 my boxer pup is a stately 14 years old - born on 23 November 1996. She has lots of lumps and bumps and arthritis in her back knees but still she plods on wagging her tail and enjoying life. Every so often she forgets her age and bounces around like a puppy all over again

13 to 15 years. Average life expectancy is 8 to 11 years, depending on medical/family history, diet, exercise, etc.

A quick search of the internet, talking to several vets, and personal experience reveals that the oldest Boxers ever have lived about 15 years, with 8-11 years being a good average. My Buster Brown is 4 weeks shy of his 15th birthday, and sadly, is near the end of his life, but I couldn't ask for a better, more faithful and loyal companion and friend.

Is the Negro race good swimmers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm white and a swimmer have been for 13 years. Since I was 4, and in 2004 there was a black guy on Michael Phelps relay and they had the greatest race I've ever seen. But in a general statement i would say they aren't as my black swimmer friends would say "there's no water in Africa"

AnswerThere are three answers to this question, depending on how one looks at the question itself:

(1) If the question is "Are black/Negro people good swimmers on average", the answer is NO. Particularly in the United States, but also in the U.K. and other developed countries, there appears to be a black cultural problem with teaching their children how to swim. Even controlling for economic disparities, far fewer black people can swim well than any other race of Americans, with the next "poorest" swimmers (latinos) having over DOUBLE the percentage of people rated "fair" or better at swimming. There is some historical context to this cultural issue, but it bedevils many sociologists to explain exactly how and why this anti-swimming bias exists in the black community. Statistics bear this out: a black person is more than 10 times as likely to accidentally drown than white person. Outside of the developed world, the lack of suitable pools, lake, or rivers in areas with large back populations seriously hampers the ability of blacks to get even the opportunity to learn to swim well, and even when such facilities are available, the cultural fear of water causes a strong disincentive to learn to swim.

(2) If the question is "Can the average black person be as good a swimmer as other races?", then the answer is YES. There is nothing inherently different enough about black people vs everyone else that makes swimming harder for them. It is no harder for the average black person to become a good swimmer than a white, asian, or latino person.

(3) If the question is "Are the top black swimmers as good as the top swimmers from other races?", then the answer has to be NO. Firstly, due to #1 above, large portions of black people refuse to swim, which significantly lowers the pool (no pun intended) of talent available to draw from. In addition, very slight genetic differences that are invisible at the average person's level become highly magnified at the top athlete level. The type of body optimal for swimming (generally, tall, lean, moderate musculature and muscles which produce a relatively high continuous power output) seems to be much less common in the elite black athlete, and more concentrated in the white and asian population. All this boils down to statistics - for the tiny percentage of each race that has the physical characteristics to be an elite athlete, blacks (and to a lesser extent, latinos) do not tend to have the body most suited for swimmers. Similar situations are seen in other sports; for instance, sprint running is heavily dominated by blacks, as is long-distance running. There are few asian basketball stars. Samoans are disproportionately represented as NFL linemen, but there are few Samoan wide receivers.

A final note about this: defining someone's race is extremely difficult, as outward appearances lie. Genetic analysis has shown that external appearance has very little to do with the actual relationship a person has with another. For instance, many African tribesman are more closely related to the typical Southern European "white" than they are to their neighboring African tribes, even though skin color would seem to indicate otherwise. Making generalizations about race is very, very, tricky, as the concept of "race" is poorly defined.
