When it comes to feeding your Boxador, choose one of the many high quality canine foods that are available so you can give your pet the nutrition that he needs to remain strong and energized. Just remember that these dogs do love to eat, so you have to monitor how much your pet is consuming each day in order to ensure he will not become overweight.

Once you have chosen the dry dog food that you want to give to your Boxador, you can feed him anywhere from 4-5 cups per day, divided into two or more meals. Avoid giving your dog a single large meal and make sure he doesn’t eat too much food too quickly, as that could lead to bloat.

If you are also going to feed your pet some canned dog food, reduce the amount of dry food that you’re feeding accordingly. Again, these dogs will overeat, so you need to monitor how much your pet is eating, and also give him the chance to exercise to stay fit.

These smart canines are loyal and loving, and they also have a playful nature and a lot of energy. Beware, though, that Boxadors can be mischievous and destructive, particularly when they are not getting enough attention and exercise.

Boxadors are known for being devoted to their human family, eager to please, and easy to train. However, these dogs can suffer with separation anxiety when they are left alone, so this breed might not be the best choice for those who are away from home for extended periods of time or who travel a lot. Having more than one dog or other pets with whom your Boxador can interact is a good idea for those times when you are away from home for work, events, and errands.

Because the Boxador is a hybrid breed, it might be prone to inheriting the health conditions that commonly affect its parent breeds. Nevertheless, every dog is an individual, and not all dogs will inherit these health problems.

Although these canines are generally healthy, common ailments suffered by Boxadors include allergies, bloat, eye problems, and joint dysplasia.

The Boxador has an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years.

Boxadors are large dogs that need plenty of daily exercise. It is a good idea to allow your dog to be physically active for a minimum of 30-60 minutes each day, in addition to having toys to play with indoors and people to interact with throughout the day.

You can allow your dog to run around in your enclosed backyard, you can go for hikes, jogs, and long walks, and you can also take a trip to the dog park with your Boxador. Interactive play sessions that include games like fetch or tug of war are also great for these dogs, who crave physical and mental stimulation.

The Boxador is not recognized by the American Kennel Club, as it is considered to be a hybrid breed. However, this breed is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), the Designer Dogs Kennel Club (DDKC), the Dog Registry of America, Inc. (DRA), and the International Designer Canine Registry (IDCR).

A Boxador’s coat will be short and glossy, and shedding will be seasonal, occurring in the summer. Therefore, grooming requirements will range from low to moderate, and a bath will rarely be necessary except when your dog gets very dirty or is shedding excessively. When your dog isn’t shedding, you can brush him once a week. Daily brushing will be required during shedding season.

Like all other puppies, Boxador puppies should be handled with care. Training and socializing your puppy from an early age will ensure he develops good manners and becomes comfortable around a variety of people and animals. Once your puppy learns the rules, he will be a calm, obedient, and loving dog, and he will be confident and happy.
