January 27, "Hi, I'm beautiful, no big deal. Taya is a 6 month old Boxer puppy who has been captivating all of us with her beautiful brown eyes. My favourite thing about Boxers is how their wag starts at the base of their neck and involves their entire body wiggling side to side with joy. Like most Boxers, Taya is an excellent wiggler. Boxers are unfortunately prone to a myriad of dental problems, so when they come in for exams or surgery, we're always very careful to check their mouths for abnormalities or signs of disease that could cause problems later on. During Taya's exam, we discovered that she had a couple of issues that caused us concern. The most serious concern was that Taya had teeth missing from the places we expected to find them. Unerupted teeth are a common problem in Boxers, and can lead to catastrophic complications. Arrows are showing wounds in the soft tissue created by the incisors of the upper jaw This is a view of Taya's mouth from the side. She has an underbite mandibular prognathism , which means that her upper jaw is shorter than her lower jaw. There's an arrow pointing to her upper incisors - ideally these should be in front of her lower incisors. Because her upper jaw is shorter than it should be, some of her upper incisors are digging into the soft tissue of her lower jaw see picture. As well, she is missing a premolar on each side of her lower jaw - there is another arrow showing where this tooth should have erupted. This tooth is commonly missing in Boxers, so it's an important parameter to check on every Boxer puppy. Teeth that are formed but do not erupt through the gum tissue can potentially form fluid filled cysts called dentigerous cysts that destroy the integrity of the jaw bone. The next next two images show a dentigerous cyst found in the lower jaw of an adult boxer, where the missing teeth unfortunately weren't detected while the dog was a puppy. The unerupted tooth is outlined in green, and the borders of the cyst are outlined in red. These jaws are very weak and prone to breakage. Trying to repair a broken jaw in a dog where most of the bone has been destroyed by a cyst is very challenging, so removing these teeth before they become a problem is critically important. This is an x-ray of one of Taya's missing teeth. While they're not visible when looking into Taya's mouth, they're easy to see on x-ray. It took less than five minutes to extract this tooth and close the surgical site. Repair of a fractured jaw can easily take over an hour and is substantially more costly. Taya recovered well from her procedure and is enjoying her new and improved mouth. As a pup grows, works their way through the teething process and becomes an adult dog, they will have 42 permanent adult canine teeth. A puppy will begin to lose his or her temporary teeth at the age of 4 months. Beside from losing them, new ones will be growing in as well. The back molars will begin to poke through the gums at the approximate age of 6 months. Learn how to help your puppy get through this stage of discomfort and pain. A dog will chew just about anything to help relieve the negative sensations. However, with some planning ahead of time and some easy training, your puppy will not destroy your home and you will be able to help your puppy cope. Boxer teething time can be one of the largest hurdles that you and your puppy will overcome; fortunately this phase is temporary!! Teething and chewing problems can occur if an owner does not know how to help their puppy cope with them. When a puppy is teething, without planning and training, they will chew on just about anything they can get their mouths on. The urge to chew and gnaw is quite strong. Training Patience and consistency will always be the 2 most important elements when training a dog to do anything, this is included. Your dog has no idea that they are not supposed to chew on your favorite shoes; they are just trying to relieve their pain. A careful eye must be kept on your puppy so that you can stop them the moment they even think about chewing on something other than your pre-planned and purchased chew toys. The tone of your voice is important. This command word will be one of great importance that is used in countless situations. Your dog must understand from the tone and the actions you make that you mean business when you say this!! Do not allow the boxer to engage you in a game of tug-o-war. A puppy will see that as fun and try to provoke this game as often as they can. As your pup begins chewing on it, praise them for being a good dog. Then, immediately give your boxer on of their chewing and teething dog toys. A dog does not learn very much from an owner hitting them; even if the swat is a light one. All this will do is teach your boxer to be afraid of you and it does not show very much will power on your side. If you want your dog to have control over their behavior, so must an owner. Then, immediately give them their dog teething toy. Adult chewing Your boxer will stop teething at approximately 7 months of age. However, chewing may not stop if your dog has not been taught to use his or her toys in certain situations. When an adult dog chews this is usually caused by; Anxiety As a medium breed dog, a boxer may be kept outside at certain times, given that the environment and temperature is safe and correct. However, a dog left alone for too long outside will make for a very bored dog. If your dog is bored outside and chews on grass, tree branches and other, they will not know how that differs from chewing on the leg of your coffee table. We hear this question a lot. They do appear to be different.However, the difference is actually in the jaw structure of this breed and how the jaw sits. Per breed standards, the bite is undershot. This is a desired trait and proper breeding is done to preserve this element of the Boxer's appearance. This means that the lower jaw juts out a bit past the upper jaw. As it does, it curves slightly upward. This gives the Boxer its distinct look.And because of this unique facial structure, one may assume that the Boxer teeth themselves are different in structure. Now, with this being said, an adult Boxer has the same set of teeth as any other medium to large breed dog: Newborns are born with no teeth at all. They are present under the gums but at birth, have not erupted yet. By the age of 6 week, most of the milk teeth will be there. There will be 6 incisors the front ones on both the top and the bottom for a total of .To the sides of the incisors will be the premolars, 3 on each side, on both top and bottom. There will be Boxer teeth 28 in total for the puppy. Teething begins when the milk teeth fall out and are replaced by canines adult, permanent Boxer teeth. This phase happens at approximately 5 months of age, but there can be early bloomers 4 months or late bloomers months. If a puppy has not begun to lose their milk teeth by the age of 7 months, it is strongly recommended to have a veterinarian perform a dental check to look for potential issues that would be preventing this natural stage in the Boxer's teeth. Once all of the Boxer's teeth have broken through the gums, the adult will have a set of .There will be 6 incisors on the top and another 6 on the bottom as before, but of course, these will be larger to accommodate the larger jaw. There will be 4 premolars as opposed to 3 on both top and bottom. Additional Boxer teeth for the adult dog will be the molars. There will be 2 on each side on the top.And 3 on each side on the bottom of the dog's mouth. The total will be .The 4th premolar on the top and the 1st molar on the bottom combine to create what is called the Carnassial teeth. This is the term given to these particular Boxer teeth which are the largest of all and work well to slice through food. Yellow, Decayed or 'Rotted' Teeth Some owners become concerned when they realize that their Boxer's teeth do not look healthy. The color may be yellow, the gums may bleed, teeth may be crooked.This can all be attributed to poor dental care or a complete lack of dental care. Sadly, this is sometimes not noticed until it is too late. At this point, teeth may need to be pulled and medication given to clear up infections which can spread to other areas of the body. Before and even after these procedures, eating and chewing can be impaired. The best method to make sure that the teeth of a Boxer stay clean, straight and healthy is to provide DAILY dental care at home.And to allow for 1 professional cleaning 1 time per year. It only takes a few minutes to perform this element of grooming and makes a HUGE difference in the health and appearance of the Boxer. Dental care for Boxer dogs should begin from the day that you bring your dog into your family. There is no age in which a Boxer dog is not vulnerable to canine tooth decay. What is the difference between human tooth care and dog tooth care? With dogs, very few will ever get cavities. However, it is plaque, tarter and bacteria build up that can cause serious health problems. Doesn't a dog clean their teeth when they chew on bones? This is a common misconception. Some dog treats and certain quality toys will help clean a dog's teeth a bit, by loosening plaque. They will not clean the teeth enough to prevent eventual infection and decay. Dogs can develop some pretty serious ailments if they do not receive these regular brushings. Some chews work to scrape the teeth to a certain degree. This is good for your Boxer dog, but not enough. For excellent oral health, daily care must be taken to keep teeth and gums clean and healthy. This routine should be as normal as taking your dog for a walk or feeding him dinner. Won't it take up too much time to keep cleaning my Boxer dog's teeth? Once a dog is trained to sit nice, this will only take about 5 minutes per day and can save your dog's life. Once you fall into a normal schedule, this should become as natural as any other grooming or care element. What do I do if my Boxer hates having his teeth cleaned? Not to worry. With repetition, just about every dog can be trained to sit nice while you brush his teeth just like dogs learn to sit for grooming of the coat. All this takes is your effort to not give up on doing this task and allow your dog a week or so to become used to it. Before you begin, some things to remember: Never use human toothpaste. Canine specific toothpaste is not a marketing scheme or an unnecessary product. Human tooth paste is dangerous to dogs. Because so much of the paste can be swallowed, the build up of ingested ingredients can be toxic. While smaller breeds would be more likely to become ill.Do not take a chance with your Boxer's health and please purchase a high-quality canine toothpaste. Begin as soon as possible. Puppies that are taught to have their teeth cleaned will grow up knowing it is a normal part of their day. Do not give up if your dog tries to run away from you when you begin; with time and repetition a dog will learn that it is a routine part of the day. What You Will Need: A finger brush for dogs - this can be used first, if your Boxer dog is not used to having his teeth cleaned A dog tooth brush - Much different than a human brush, you should make all attempts to train up to the level of using a dog tooth brush Canine tooth paste - never underestimate the importance of using this How to Brush Your Boxer's Teeth Step-by-Step Have all needed supplies on hand Have your Boxer sit Give the "Open mouth" command and use your hand to manipulate the jaw open; within a week or so a dog will begin to learn to do this himself with very little strength needed on your part Brush swiftly and firmly on all surfaces of the teeth. Do not just brush the front ones! Do the front and both sides. You can hum to calm your Boxer puppy or dog down or simply speak in a matter-of-fact way After a full minute or so, wipe out the mouth with a wet washcloth; but don't worry that paste is being swallowed since a good canine brand will be perfectly edible and digestible Offer praise and a treat preferably a dental hygiene treat if your Boxer at least made an effort. What if my Boxer dog refuses to let me use a brush? Some dogs can be very stubborn. It is recommended to keep at it, but allow 2 weeks for each step. If that fails, you should then try using dog dental wipes. These are special wipes made for a dog's teeth. It will wipe off bacteria and will clean to a certain extent. It is very important that you schedule a once-a-year dental appointment with your dog's veterinarian and not only go if there is a problem. This yearly cleaning will remove buildup that daily cleaning simply cannot do. The vet will also be able to determine if there are any issues developing that need special care. If there are any serious problems,the vet will most likely refer you to a canine orthodontist. As a pup grows, works their way through the teething process and becomes an adult dog, they will have 42 permanent adult canine teeth. A puppy will begin to lose his or her temporary teeth at the age of 4 months. Aside from losing them, new ones will be growing in as well.

Just as you must plan for house training your Boxer even at times that you are not home, you must allow prepare for this. A Boxer puppy can be put into a gated area. However, that area should contain plenty of proper dog toys. To leave your puppy without resources to soothe itchiness and sore gums is just plain cruel. How long is too long to stay home alone? A 4 month old puppy, if going into the gated off area immediately after eliminating, can only hold on for 4 hours. An hour is added for each month your puppy grows older. Creating a space for your dog inside the home can work out nicely. This can be a spare room or this can be the corner of a room. Gates can be used to section this area off or a puppy play pen can be used. This will allow your pup to have plenty of space to walk around, play, rest and sleep and room for plenty of the dog toys. Adult Chewing Your Boxer will stop teething at approximately 7 months of age. However chewing may not stop if your dog has not been taught to use his or her toys in certain situations.

Boxer Dog chewing and teething November 5, by John Every one of you is aware of the teething process, as and when, it is get started in your baby.

Even there could be gastrointestinal problems in your puppy, so better is to consult with your veterinarian. Remove all other objects in which your puppy might take interest such as shoes and socks, the toys and entertaining stuff of your kids. Also restrain him in accessing to the places which it can be really dangerous for your puppy.

This will also surely enhance the solicitous and warm-hearted relationship between you and your boxer. Conclusion When will my Boxer puppy lose its teeth? Boxers will grow two sets of teeth throughout their life. The first one is the milk teeth and the other one is adult and permanent choppers. To give way to their adult teeth, Boxer puppies will shed their milk teeth just like any dog. All the 28 temporary baby teeth will fall off within their first 3 to 4 months of life. Also, you may find the shed teeth all over your floor in the coming weeks. Once your Boxer reaches three months old, its permanent incisors will erupt. This will be followed by the canines in their fourth month of life. Moreover, the premolars and molars will erupt last. Overall, the process will take a total of six months. By the end of the teething phase, your Boxer puppy should have 42 adult teeth already. Take note that there could be complications along the way like some baby teeth not falling off as expected. In this case, your Boxer puppy will need a vet visit for the manual removal of the retained milk teeth. Overall, teething is one of the first hurdles your Boxer puppy will have to face. Proper care and management are crucial to help your pooch get through teething with the least possible discomfort.

This will help save your precious couch from being shredded or your furniture from getting chewed. Provide chew toys Chew toys are indispensable when caring for a teething Boxer puppy. Take note that chew toys for teething puppies should be soft. Give tug-of-war toys Tug-of-war ropes are also helpful for teething Boxer puppies. Aside from that, tug-of-war games help teach your dog how to release a bite. The cold temperature help soothes their inflamed and achy gums. For this, you can freeze slices of banana, carrots, apples, blueberries, and strawberries. In case you run out of these frozen treats, a few pieces of ice cube will do the trick. This can also help your Boxer pup cool down during summer. Keep your pup busy Lastly, keeping your Boxer puppy busy can help take its mind off chewing. Exercise, playtime, and mental drills will help a lot for this doggo. Take note that the Boxer breed is naturally energetic. Playing Frisbee, running in the dog park, and having agility drills indoors are also effective routines. Here are a few tips to keep your Boxer pups teeth clean and healthy: 1. This way, your pooch will get used to the sensation as it grows older. This will help make the dog calmer and accustomed to being restrained while brushing its teeth. For your Boxer, choose the flavor that it likes best. Through this, your pet will find dental care a rewarding experience. It will also make your Boxer more cooperative during brushing. It usually comes with a delicious flavor, though you can also opt for the unflavored type. As your dog drinks the additive, it will help remove bacteria and potentially slow down the formation of plaque. Just make sure that you use an additive made specifically for canines. Provide chew toys Chew toys are useful even after your Boxer is done teething. Aside from that, the chew toy satisfies the natural instincts of Boxers to chew. This is formulated with ingredients that help reduce plaque and curb bad breath. But unlike other treats, dental treats should only be given once a day. This is to prevent stomach upset on the part of your canine. This will let you notice any changes that may point to a health problem. This simple habit can help you save hundreds of dollars from expensive vet treatments because you failed to spot early signs of tooth problems. This is a preventive measure to avoid the formation of plaque, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. Take note that as your Boxer gets older, it would be more prone to dental problems. Annual checks will help prevent or slow down these issues. Are Boxers chewers? Boxers are powerful chewers and they can be pretty destructive if not trained well. They can cause a great deal of damage to your furniture, especially when left alone for long periods. This is the reason why Boxers require a dedicated owner who will take the time to train them. Also, Boxers need regular companionship or they will become destructively anxious. Overall, Boxers could remain chewers even after the teething phase. Why do Boxer puppies bite so much? Biting is common among puppies, including the Boxer breed. Puppies use their mouths to interact and explore around, not to mention that they get very excited about almost anything. Are Boxer dogs destructive? Boxers can be very destructive dogs if not trained well. Also, leaving this dog alone for long hours can lead to behavioral problems like destructive chewing. Take note that while Boxers are affectionate dogs, they require early and continuous training just like any breed. This is to curb potential behavioral problems like chewing. They require an owner who can provide training and enough mental stimulation that matches their breed. Do puppies swallow their baby teeth? Usually, milk teeth will become uprooted while your dog is chewing its food or toy. How long does the puppy chewing stage last? Puppy chewing usually lasts until the teething phase is over. This is usually around six months of age. However, if you failed to train your Boxer, its chewing habit may stick and become a behavioral problem. In this case, your pup may become destructive around the house. The key here is early and continuous training. Conclusion When do Boxer puppies lose their teeth? The teething phase starts at around 3 months old and finishes at 6 months. You can provide frozen treats, chew toys, and other activities that will help it through the uncomfortable process. Most of all, you should involve the veterinarian in the process. Written By.

There shouldn't be any odour coming from them. The eyes of a Lab pup are round, either deep brown or hazel with black rims. The eyes should be friendly and express intelligence. The Labrador Retriever has a wide black and well developed nose with distinguished nostrils. The nose should be clean and without discharge. Be aware that a wet nose is not an indication that the Lab is healthy, nor does a dry nose indicate he is unwell. The teeth should be set square to the jaws with the top teeth slightly overlapping the bottom. Labrador puppies have fewer teeth than adults and they will lose their baby teeth as their adult teeth grow in. Labs have a well developed and strong chest. It has good depth and width.

The skin color of a lab is usually pale pink but it can also be brown or even spotted. The tail of a Labrador is thick at the base and tapers towards the tip. The tail is a moderate length and has no feathering. It is as smooth like the rest of the coat with a rounded appearance. The tails is even with the back or slightly upwards.

Although popular for highly trained roles, and of course very photogenic and therefore frequently used on charities literature, the yellow Labrador can still make a magnificant pet and be popular in the show ring too. These dogs tend to come from working lines, and have a more orange hue to their coats. They are still classed however on Kennel Club documentation as yellow Labradors. Fawn Labradors In recent years some people have begun to refer to yellow Labradors as fawn Labradors. If your Lab pup color is slightly darker than the traditional yellow, but not as orange as a Fox Red Labrador, you might well refer to him as being a Fawn Labrador. However, this is not an official Labrador color, nor indeed is it really one which is referred to by Labrador breeders in the way that Fox Red now is. Black Labradors Black Labradors have long been favoured as gundogs, but also make wonderful pets, companions and agility dogs too. They are the most common color of Labrador, due to the way in which their genes are inherited. Chocolate Labradors Chocolate Labradors make great family pets, as well as playing a role in the Show Ring. In America, chocolate Labradors are quite firmly established in hunting lines. However, it is worth bearing in mind that in the UK, Chocolate Labradors have only recently been achieving awards in the field. Black and yellow Labradors still taking more prominence at least in Field Trial circuits. In our extensive article on Chocolate Labradors we will let you know all about the chocolate Labrador. Where he comes from, his pet suitability and much more. Silver Labradors Silver Labradors are a fairly new trend in Labrador breeding. This amazing color inspires a lot of comments from Labrador fans, both positive and negative. The color varation from chocolate is caused by a diluting gene, but how this got into the breed is the source of some controversy. In our extensive article on Silver Labradors we take a look at where they come from and how to buy a healthy silver Labrador Retriever puppy. Some people have a strong preference for a particular color, but others are quite happy with either. If you are not fussy about color, you will have more choice of Labrador breeders to put on your shortlist when setting about choosing the right dog. Although you might love one particular color to look at, do think carefully about your prorities when it comes to picking a puppy. Perhaps what really matters is your Labradors breeding: his parents temperaments, roles and health. Show vs Field Bred Labradors Whatever your preference, it is worth bearing in mind that Labradors have become divided into two quite distinct types, show, and field. Finding a suitable dog will probably depend more on choosing the right type, than on choosing the right color. With some you will have more choice in one type rather than the other. And with some types you will have more choice in one color than the others. To find out more about the differences between show and working bred Labradors, check out this article comparing the Bench and Field varieties of Labrador here. Rescue Labradors When picking your new Labrador, you might be looking for an adult rather than a puppy. Drakeshead Labs How your Lab behaves and what they look like will depend to some extent on their origins. What are the two types of Labrador Retrievers? The two different types of Labradors are American Labradors, also known as field bred or working Labradors, and the English Labradors, bred for showing. Why are there different types of Lab? Labrador Retrievers were developed as the breed we know today by a couple of English aristocrats in the s who were passionate about shooting gamebirds birds. His job was to fetch dead and wounded game back to his master. And deliver it to hand undamaged, so that it could become a valuable and sustaining source of food. This is still the role of many working Labradors today, but so popular have the breed become as companions, that far more of these lovely dogs now live out their lives as family pets Labradors become pets Labradors first became popular as pets around the time that the first dog shows were springing up and exhibiting dogs was becoming a fashionable hobby. Gradually the two lines of Labrador — those bred for a role as sporting dogs, and those bred for a role as show dogs — began to diverge As the years passed the working type Labrador and show type Labrador became more different from one another. And breeding between the two types became less common. Capable of winning in the show ring and in the field. But as Field Trial competitions became more demanding, field bred labs became more specialised, faster, and more focused. Some not all lost their classic Labrador looks. While show bred Labs became a little more exaggerated, chunkier, heavier, and shorter in the leg. These names have nothing to do with location and everything to do with role. And the same applies to the terms English and show or bench type Lab. Whichever country you happen to be in. There has always been some flexibility in the roles that these dogs play. Many Labs of either type are incredibly versatile. Many English Labs will do a passable job of fetching a bird for you. And many American Labs will do a good job of being the family pet. But there are differences that may affect your choice. American type Labrador The working strain Labrador is likely to be easier to train. It may be easier for example, for an inexperienced owner to get him walking nicely on a lead. The American Labrador has a quick mind as well as a quick body, and is often a very sensitive soul that lives to please. Extremes of sensitivity can occasionally lead to nervousness, but on the whole, temperament is sound throughout the breed. Outdoors in the open, American Labradors may have very strong hunting instincts and be more likely to pursue your local wildlife. This can be a problem for those living in rural areas or exercising their dogs in countryside populated with rabbits or squirrels! This is something to consider if you like to relax and chat with friends whilst out walking. English type Labrador English type Labs are often heavier than their field bred cousins, and shorter in the leg. They may also be less agile. As juveniles, some English Labs can be extremely playful and distractible which can be a challenge, especially if you exercise your dog in busy dog parks where they are mixing with a lot of other dogs. My working type Labrador Tess, was quite grown up and sensible by the time her first birthday came along. My part show dog Rachael is six and is still not quite grown up! One final thought, in the UK, show bred labs are perhaps more likely to be noisy or prone to whining than American Labs. I get asked this question quite a bit! Drakeshead is actually just a British Labrador Kennel name. The Drakeshead Kennel is a famous kennel in England that breeds and competes very successfully working type Labradors. They also export Labradors to other countries. If your Labrador is from the Drakeshead kennels, his pedigree will have the word Drakeshead as part of his registered pedigree Kennel Name. There are many other successful breeders of American or field type Labradors in the UK. And many well known breeders of field type Labs in the USA too. Which is type of Lab is best for me? And it depends a bit on what you expect from your dog, and on where you live. If you want to get active with your dog, and maybe get involved with some Labrador activities or sports, then a Labrador from working lines might suit you best. American type Labradors for activities and hunting Working bred labs respond best to lots of human contact and a more managed approach to exercise outdoors. American Labs also tend to be more focused on their handler and may be more responsive to training. This can be helpful if you want to get involved in a sport or activity that involves your dog. Dog agility is a popular sport that American type Labs can excel at, while English Labs may lack the agility to compete at a high level. If you want a pet that is also a hunting companion then an American type Lab is your best choice. And it may be easier to manage this show type Lab outdoors, due to his less intense hunting instincts. But perhaps the main reason people who are not looking for a hunting companion may choose an English Lab is because they love the way that they look. Types of Labrador Heads One of the most distinctive separate features of the two types of Labrador Retrievers is their heads. If you are hoping for a chunky dog with classic Labrador good looks and a distinctive thick otter tail, then you do stand more chance of getting the dog you want from English or show lines. Just remember English Labs tend to take longer to grow up, be more playful, and more interested in introducing themselves to every passing stranger. Beauty if of course in the eye of the beholder. And some of those at home with the working type Lab will find the head size and shorter legs of the English Lab unattractive. Both types of Labrador can make great family dogs though the English type may be a little less prone to be shy or anxious. Dual purpose Labs A few breeders in the UK are attempting to re-create the dual purpose Labradors of the last century. Good looking medium weight dogs of substance with nice thick tails. Dogs with solid broad heads, thick coats, a well focused attentive brain inside them, and some powerful hunting and retrieving instincts. I think this is great news for Labradors as many working bred labs have quite poor conformation. And some show Labs are too heavily built and lack some of the focus and great retrieving instincts of their working cousins. Mixing the two lines can however, produce variable results and is always a bit of a gamble. You could end up with a dog with poor conformation and poor hunting and retrieving instincts. Whichever type of Labrador you choose for a pet, make sure you choose your breeder wisely. Getting a healthy puppy that has had a healthy start in life is more important than any of the above considerations. And that happy, confident Labrador temperament we expect from these beautiful dogs should be your number one priority. Different types of Labrador Here are some broad guidelines that do not apply to all individuals of either type. For a hunting companion or to fulfil your ambition to take part in Dog Agility, choose an American or working type Labrador. And for a more sensitive, focused and trainable dog, also go for a working type Labrador For the classic Labrador tail, and chunky head, with robust and playful temperament, go for and English, or show type. If you are a bit of a gambler and none of these things matter very much to you, then a mix between the two types might suit you. But remember that these are very broad guidelines. There are huge differences between litters, and between individuals in the same litter. Whichever type of Labrador you choose, be sure to check out health clearances, and meet the parents to ensure great temperament.

Today, that pet is the Boxer Mastiff mix, a beautiful guard dog that has a playful personality. Many years ago, the Boxer and English Mastiff were bred as protectors or guardians. Nowadays, that has changed. Yes, some puppies still have the same instinct. And while it seems fun while they are small, the potential of pounds dog pulling on a leash or acting aggressively is terrifying. But do not worry, that is not the case. Meet The Breed Do you want a large dog full of character? Well then, we have to introduce you to the Boxmas. The appearance of this Boxer mix is almost as sweet as its name. The offspring is the result of two large dogs who have protective instincts. These instincts might kick into action if the dog feels the family is in danger. Yet, with early training and plenty of socialization, things can be changed. We have to note that the Boxmas puppy is a relatively new breed. We do not know as much, and there is no breed standard by The American Kennel Club. But we do have plenty of information that will help you determine whether this puppy is the right for your household or not. Meet The Parents Whenever you talk about a mixed breed, you have to begin with the two parents. Given that there is no breed standard for hybrid dog breeds, the personality and features of the parents can help you understand your future pet. Boxer The Boxer is one of the funniest dogs around. Many years ago, this canine was a guardian dog. And while it still has some instincts, domestication has turned the Boxer into an amazing and loving pet. How much do you know about the Boxer? In a way, they are not aware of their big size They have a fun-loving and goofy personality, making them a joy to be around Mastiff The English Mastiff breed is a large dog famous for its strength, courage, and loyalty. Many call it a gentle giant because of its loving personality and big size. They make an excellent choice for families and households that want a loyal and protective dog. Their calm demeanor, courage, and loyalty are praised by dog lovers. With that in mind, here are some common personality traits of the English dog breed. The Boxmas puppy is a family-friendly pup with a bit of a stubborn streak. Given that their parent breeds are large, this mixed puppy is usually on the larger side. It would be nice if you have a bit of space for your puppy to stretch out and roam. When standing, they can grow up to 30 inches, and their paws look huge when the puppy is born. A muscular and stocky dog, the Boxmas weighs between 70 and pounds. They are relatively new on the scene, so breeders have not had enough time to go over all the physical characteristics. Usually, though, they take up on the Mastiff frame and the Boxer face. Their coat is short and dense, usually in colors like brown, black, and brindle. There might be streaks of white across the body. Despite its short coat, the Mastiff Boxer mix is a heavy shedder, but more on that later on. Temperament One of the big misconceptions about the English Mastiff and Boxer mix is that they are dangerous. But that is absolutely not true. They are not aggressive, despite the fact their parents were historically bred for fighting and security purposes. Instead, this Boxer mix exhibits deep affection and love for people, children, and even other animals. They love having fun and endless entertainment with their owner. Energetic and fun-loving, this puppy is known to be playful and dopey. You can say they are quite the performers.

But quite the opposite. This gentle giant has protective, yet patient nature, making it a great addition to a household with children. Training Training can be a bit challenging with this canine. Socialization is also important, even at an early age. It can help prevent guarding and protective instincts to a point they are tolerable. You do not want a pound dog barking at everything that moves, right? You should schedule interactions with humans and animals outside of your household. Use positive reinforcement to reward good and calm behavior. This will help your puppy understand that strangers are not enemies per se. You also want to put effort into preventing your dog from becoming over-protective of the household. Yes, your dog can be attached to family members.

These dogs tend to get bored and distracted easily. When you look at the parent breeds, one is lean, and the other is muscular.

Generally speaking, your dog needs between 30 and 45 minutes of physical exercise per day. And then some mental stimulation to keep its brain in check. Health Ask owners of large dogs like Mastiffs, and they will tell you these puppies do not live a long life. The extra weight puts stress on the body. But the good news is that crossing breeds helps eliminate certain health issues and risks. Generally speaking, a Boxer Mastiff mix lives between 10 and 13 years.

Temperaments Of Boxer Mastiff Mixes The Boxer Mastiff Mixes are not aggressive, despite having both Boxer and Mastiff dogs historically bred to be dogs for fighting and security purposes. Bred from these aggressive parent dogs, the Boxmas dog ironically exhibits deep affection and love for their owners and children. This pooch can be caught having fun and endless entertainment for their owners and the whole family with great energy. Here are other personality traits you can further expect from the Boxmas dog.

The coat is also dense and straight, which should make it easy for you to maintain. Check out the grooming tips below for your Boxer Mastiff Mix.

It is always crucial to check the health of both parents before adopting your Boxmas. Being a new breed, you may have to conduct thorough research in locating reputable breeders. Are Boxers And Mastiffs Related? Both the Boxer and the Mastiff breeds are related to each other. Hence, this may explain the uncanny resemblances in some physical characteristics between the Boxer and the Mastiff. Mastiffs can get along with Boxers, only if they both have been through socialization training. Both dog breeds have past breeding histories as fighting and guard dogs, so there will be some risk involved if both dogs are introduced to each other without any form of socialization training. They require regular exercise through daily walks or playtime with an interactive toy like a KONG to burn off pent-up energy and stay mentally stimulated. Due to their larger size, Boxer Mastiff Mixes tend not to be the best apartment dogs. They tend to be very active and energetic, and they need plenty of daily exercise and room to move around. They love to play with their human family members, but because of their size and strength, they should always be supervised around children. Boxer Mastiff Mix dogs are not recommended for homes with very small children , but older children who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs may enjoy having one of these hybrids as a companion. Boxer Mastiffs make good watchdogs and will alert their owners if someone is approaching the house or yard. They do have a tendency to bark at times, which can be annoying for neighbors. Is the Boxer Mastiff Mix the right dog for you? Crossbred dogs like the Boxer Mastiff Mix are sometimes referred to as hybrid dogs, mixed breed dogs, or designer dogs. These terms refer to dogs that have been bred from two different purebred breeds with the goal of producing puppies that exhibit the best traits of both parents. And this is where the controversy comes in. Early generation crossbreed dogs are generally not as predictable as their purebred parents by way of health, temperament, and appearance. This means that they could be more like one parent breed over the other, or they could be a perfect mix of both. Hybrid vigor is a term used to describe the theory in which crossbred dogs are potentially healthier and stronger than purebred dogs. This is a theory that was popularized in the 19th century by British biologist Sir Francis Galton. He believed that by crossing two different breeds of animal, you could get a hybrid that was stronger and healthier than either parent breed. The idea is that when you breed closely related dogs like purebreds with similar traits and genetic histories, they have a higher chance of producing offspring that could wind up inheriting similar genes for undesirable traits like disease. The result could mean a healthier offspring with fewer health problems than either parent breed would have produced on its own. While the theory of hybrid vigor is a promising one, it is quite controversial and not accepted by everyone. If you are considering a Boxer Mastiff Mix, you should be aware that he could inherit any of the same genetic traits as his purebred parents. This could include traits like temperament, health, and appearance. These dogs are a cross between the purebred Mastiff and the purebred Boxer. The Boxer Mastiff Mix is a relatively new crossbreed, with many people wondering where it came from and how long it has been on the scene. The Boxer Mastiff mix is a combination of two very popular breeds: the Boxer and the Mastiff. As we discussed above, if you are considering a Boxer Mastiff Mix to call your own, you should closely consider the traits of the Boxer and the Mastiff as well. The Boxer is an intelligent and energetic dog with a strong prey drive, which means training and socialization at an early age are going to be very important to ensuring this dog is well-rounded and well-behaved. The Boxer is a very loyal, protective breed that thrives on human companionship. They are great family dogs as long as they receive plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Although Boxers are friendly and social, they do not always do well with small children because they can knock them over when playing or roughhousing. This breed may also be impatient with youngsters who are too rough or persistent. For this reason, a Boxer and a Boxer Mastiff Mix is best for families with older children who understand how to treat dogs appropriately. Boxers are not known for being overly friendly towards other dogs or cats unless they are raised together from puppyhood, but even then there may be issues if you have multiple pets in your home such as a cat and dog. It has an extremely affectionate nature and loves nothing more than to be around its family. Mastiff dogs tend to have a docile temperament and are good with children when properly raised, trained, and socialized. They are also protective of their owners and will be wary of strangers or those they find suspicious. There are different types of Mastiff dogs available, but they all have a similar origin. Mastiff dogs were specifically bred for hunting wild boar and other large game. They were also used as guard dogs, since they were so large and intimidating. The first mastiff was known as the Alaunt, which was developed in England during the 14th century. The Alaunt was then crossed with another breed called the Bloodhound to produce a dog that was even larger in size. The result of these two crosses was called the English Bulldog which is not related to the modern American bulldog. Later on, more crosses were made between bulldogs and mastiffs until they reached their current form. So, what can you expect if you combine the traits of the modern-day Mastiff and the Boxer? Keep reading to find out. When properly raised, trained, and socialized, Boxer Mastiff Mix dogs can do well with children. You should always supervise your Boxer Mastiff mix around smaller children as well to ensure everyone is getting along safely and happily. We also suggest teaching children the basics of canine body language and how to properly pet and handle their dog. Remind children that it is not safe or respectful to tease, poke, sit on, ride on, or even hug a Boxer Mastiff Mix dog. This will help prevent any future behavioral issues from occurring as they become more confident around others in general. And this brings us to the importance of proper training and socialization. Keep reading. Early socialization and training are important for any dog, but especially for large breed dogs with potential guarding instincts like the Boxer Mastiff Mix. Boxer Mastiffs are very social dogs and need lots of attention from their owners. Although Boxer Mastiff mix dogs are not known for being aggressive or territorial, they do have strong protective instincts which can make them wary around strangers. They tend to be more comfortable around people they know and trust. Training classes are usually offered at local pet stores, but you can also find quality trainers in your area with some simple research. Behavioral classes can help get your puppy off to a good start and help you learn how to train them properly. When you are training your Boxer Mastiff Mix, be sure you are using positive reinforcement training techniques as opposed to aversive training techniques like fear or scolding. Positive reinforcement training is based on operant conditioning, which uses rewards to shape behavior in dogs. The most common methods of positive reinforcement include treats, praise, clicker training, patience, and consistency. Clicker training is another effective method you can use when it comes to positive reinforcement training. This type of training involves using a small handheld clicker along with treats to train your dog when he or she does something right. We have listed a clicker training product below we would recommend when it comes to training your dog using this method. This kit includes a clicker, a training guide, and a pouch you can use as a poop dispenser on walks or a treat holding pouch. We also like that the dog training guide has easy-to-follow instructions on how to teach your dog basic commands such as sit, stay and come. The training guide also provides tips on how to make the most out of your time spent with your dog by teaching him tricks that will make him more obedient and fun to be around! Without proper exercise and mental stimulation, the Boxer Mastiff can develop health issues. Boxer Mastiffs are athletic dogs who love to run, jump and play. With that being said, you need to be careful not to over exercise this hybrid because it could lead to injury. The appropriate exercise for a Boxer Mastiff Mix includes: Taking him on daily walks that are 45 minutes to an hour long Playing fetch or tug of war with him in the backyard or at the park. About an hour or so of exercise each day will suffice, and the most important thing is that you stay consistent. Routine exercise for your Boxer Mastiff Mix can help reduce the risk of certain injuries later in life by ensuring he has healthy bones, joints, and muscles. When you are walking your Boxer Mastiff Mix outside, be sure you invest in a quality dog harness. Although the Boxer Mastiff Mix is a large breed dog, we recommend against choke chains or prong collars. Instead, invest in front clip no-pull dog harnesses like the one listed below. Unlike other harnesses, this harness has no metal parts. The harness comes in different sizes and colors so you can find the right one for your unique dog and preference. Mental stimulation can come in many forms for dogs, and you can combine mental stimulation with exercise to help your pup stay both happy and healthy. For example, you can take your dog on walks with you and let him explore new places while you take in the sights. You could also play games with your dog! Most dogs love playing catch and Frisbee, but there are lots of other options out there too. Try hiding treats around the house or in different rooms so your dog has to work for his food! Hide his toys around the house as well and then give him a treat when he finds them — this game can help your dog learn to use his sense of smell and find things on his own! You can also invest in puzzle toys that challenge your dog, as well as KONGS or other chew toys that help keep your dog busy and occupied while you are away. This is because the Boxer Mastiff Mix has a short coat that sheds moderately. In addition, with regular brushing, you should be able to keep the undercoat from becoming too matted. The Boxer Mastiff Mix needs to be brushed regularly to keep their coat looking healthy and shiny. You can brush them with a slicker brush or a pin brush to remove loose hair and distribute natural oils throughout their coat. The Boxer Mastiff Mix should also be bathed occasionally with a shampoo specified for canine use. Avoid overbathing your Boxer Mastiff Mix, as this can lead to skin issues down the road. It is made by a trusted brand, and it is well-reviewed by many pet owners. The product contains natural ingredients like aloe vera and oatmeal that help to soothe skin inflammation and itching. Dental care is another important aspect of grooming when it comes to the Boxer Mastiff Mix. Like all dogs, the Boxer Mastiff mix should have his teeth brushed daily with an approved pet toothpaste and toothbrush. This will help prevent tartar buildup on his teeth, which can lead to oral infections or gum disease, as well as bad breath and tooth decay. Last, be sure to check your Boxer Mastiff Mix dogs ears often and keep them free of waxy buildup, moisture, or debris. These dogs do have long, floppy ears, which can make them more susceptible to ear infections. He could also be prone to suffering from any of the same genetic health issues of both the purebred Boxer or the purebred Mastiff. The lifespan of this mixed breed depends on many factors including his size and overall health. However, there are some general guidelines that owners can follow when deciding how long their dogs may live.

There are also some advantages and disadvantages to owning one of these dogs. Here are some of the pros of owning a Boxer Mastiff mix: Unique appearance: There is no denying that Boxer Mastiff mixes have cool and unique appearances. Their overall looks resemble the elegant phenotypic features of the Boxer breed and the colossal size of the English Mastiff. Good guard dog: The Boxer Mastiff mix has innate guarding abilities. It is calm and gentle but will not hesitate to protect its family. Its sheer size could also easily intimidate intruders. Highly intelligent dogs: This giant mixed breed is easy to train because of its natural intelligence. They are docile, and they love to please their owners. They only need weekly brushing and monthly bathing to keep them fresh and clean. Meanwhile, here are some of the cons of owning Boxer Mastiff mixes: Not recommended for families with toddlers: Because of their large body builds, Boxer Mastiff can unintentionally knock off toddlers, which can cause accidents and injuries. Highly protective: Since both the Mastiff and Boxer are guard dogs, the Boxmas dog can become too protective of its family. Hard to predict its growth and size: There is no established guide for monitoring the growth of the Mastiff Boxer mix. Hence, its final weight and size are difficult to predict. Highly active: Boxer Mastiffs are energetic dogs so they require regular exercise and activities. This means that if you are a busy person, this hybrid might not be the perfect dog for you. These are just some of the pros and cons of owning a Boxer Mastiff mix. You can use this list in deciding whether this designer dog is worth having as a pet. Both the Boxer and the Mastiff breeds were historically used as protectors or guardians. That means Boxer puppies are highly likely to inherit this instinct to protect and guard their families. This will help them grow into well-rounded and obedient adult dogs. That means shorter walks, no jumping from heights, and feeding a specific dog food designed for larger breeds. They excelled as cattle dogs, watchdogs, police dogs, and guide dogs, as well as serving as war dogs in both world wars. Mastiff type breeds have been around for centuries. Luckily, U. Boxmas dogs are extremely protective of their families Thanks to the fact that both the Mastiff and the Boxer have been bred to instinctively protect their families, Boxmas puppies are highly likely to inherit this same trait. Without these training sessions, their protective instinct can soon turn into aggression. On the flip side, when it comes to mixed breeds, it can be harder to predict particular characteristics of these hybrids in terms of size, appearance, and temperament. This gives them a nice balance between activity and rest. While these dogs are sweet and gentle around their families, their protective natures mean they always want to make sure their owners are safe. The Boxer Mastiff cross is intelligent and will enjoy regular training sessions to keep them mentally as well as physically exercised. Their kind and loving nature make them suitable for life with children, but their large size and sometimes excitable nature means they can sometimes knock small children over! You will need to do a fair amount of training to make sure that family friends are accepted into your home with the minimum of fuss. While you might feel confident around your large-breed Boxmas, bear in mind that their size and stature can make them look intimidating to visitors. Make sure your Boxmas knows not to jump on people. Boxers can sometimes tend to become nervous around other dogs of the same sex. Always make sure to introduce new pets to each other slowly and in a controlled environment. Keep the initial meetings short and sweet, and allow each pet somewhere safe they can retreat to if they feel the need. Things to Know When Owning a Boxmas: Deciding to add a Boxmas to your family is a big decision and requires both time and money. Before you make your mind up for sure, here are a few more things you should know about this breed first. This will have the correct levels of calcium and phosphorous to ensure that their bones grow correctly. It will also have a lower percentage of protein, fat, and calories than foods designed for smaller breed puppies. Your puppy is likely to inherit the work ethic and intelligence of both parent breeds. Boredom sometimes leads to destructive habits, which none of us want to face! Their natural propensity to guard can easily roll over into aggression if not managed properly. Puppy training classes are an excellent way to socialize your puppy while having a professional trainer on hand to help with any specific goals you may have. Praise and positive reinforcement are an excellent tool for Boxmas owners. Raised voices during training can worry a Mastiff and may cause them to become disengaged. We reviewed the best puppy training treats: check out our top picks here! A weekly brush should be enough to keep them looking healthy. When they shed, which will be twice a year, you can up your grooming sessions to help remove any dead hair. If your Boxmas puppy inherits a more Mastiff-shaped head from one of their parents, then be prepared for the fact that you might need to deal with drool! Mastiffs are notorious droolers, often choosing to stand close to you while they do so! You can also check their nails at the same time, but these should only need trimming once a month or so. Luckily in the case of the Boxmas, this is also true. Minor Conditions. Rescue Me! Grooming Your Mastiff Mixed With Boxer Boxer Mastiffs are easy to groom overall but generally shed in large amounts, which is why you should schedule days that you thoroughly brush their fur. Daily brushing is essential even for your short hair because it eliminates and lessens dirt accumulation as well as hair accumulation in the house. Ear and teeth hygiene should be an everyday priority to avoid dirt and bacterial accumulation in the ears and cavities or tartar, which could lead to infections in the future. Some of the conditions to take note of are: Hip Dysplasia: This is a genetic disease wherein there is an abnormal formation of the hip socket, which causes immense pain for the dog. If left untreated may cause crippling and painful arthritis of the joints. Due to excessive gastric content, the stomach of the dog becomes overstretched. It may cause severe pain when moving. Ectropion: This condition is more common in Mastiffs. The lower eyelids appear droopy due to an abnormality and may result in conjunctivitis or keratitis. Make sure you make arrangements with members of the family to ensure an adequately measured amount of food for your puppy. Choose gifts that have low calories instead, so that obesity is avoidable. The best choice of food would be those that are rich in protein for proper muscle building and repairing. Protein can be obtained through dog food alone, or you could ask your local vet for additional snacks and supplements. You can find protein in meat such as chicken, lamb, fish, and beef. Meat meals are concentrated forms sans the moisture but offer the same amount of protein as well. Fats are essential for eye and brain development because of the rich sources of Omega-3 Fatty acids. Chicken meat and fish oil are excellent sources. Avoid giving your Boxmas foods rich in common allergens such as corn, soy, dairy, wheat, and potatoes. Also refrain from giving any food coloring, as these may compromise the immune system. Never give them table food because it might cause different allergic reactions ranging from skin allergies to difficulty in breathing. To give your Boxer crossed with Mastiff better nutrition, check the following high quality and nutrient-packed dog food available on the market: Fromm Large Breed Puppy Gold Formula: This is a brand that ensures there are no allergens or irritants included. Specially formulated for puppies who are known to grow over fifty pounds, protein and fat levels are moderately incorporated. DHA-rich salmon oil is a bonus for brain and eye development. There are additional vitamins and antioxidants as well as a grain-free formula. Protein and fat levels are lower compared to different brands in the market but still packed with needed nutrients and vitamins to ensure proper growth and development. Royal Canin Boxer Adult Dry Food: This product boasts of high-quality proteins and nutrients, as well as the incorporation of L-carnitine. This combination helps your Mastiff mixed with Boxer maintain its overall built, burn fat efficiently, and avoid obesity. Orijen Puppy Large: The ingredients are fresh and high in protein. It consists of chicken and turkey, as well as fish. Your dog may be big or small, but you need to keep it happy and healthy all the time. Never give them the worst dry dog food that is low in nutrients and filled with by-products, and opt for best dry dog food instead. For the littlest of munchkins, check out our list of best puppy food brands , and for gray-coated, wise grandpa-doggos, opt only for the best senior dry dog food. Your stunning mixed heartthrob carries the genes of their super-gorgeous and incredibly different parents. But that means that you are in luck as you can offer your little charmer both the best dry dog food for small dogs and the best large breed dry dog food. Let them have a final say in which kibble they nibble. In line with the diet, also schedule a daily exercise regimen for your Boxmas. They are highly energetic and exuberant by nature, which means they require at least an hour of intense activities and exercises. This program includes running, walking, playing fetch, obedience exercises, and jogging. Never contain your Boxer crossed with Mastiff in a small space such as apartments or condos. Fulfill their need to stay fit by choosing a home that has adequate running space if you plan to adopt a Boxmas. Another option is to take trips to the park or jog around the neighborhood. If left idle for too long, they can be agitated or easily distracted and tend to destroy or chew on things out of frustration. Here are some toys to help exercise your Boxmas: OxGord BazooK-9 Tennis Ball Launcher Gun: Since your hybrid is energetic and loves running, this tennis ball launcher is a perfect toy when visiting parks or playing in the backyard. Invest in this versatile product so that it also saves you energy from having to throw the ball. It prevents the potential risk for periodontal disease. KONG Wubba Dog Toy: Made of nylon and has two balls inside one chewable and one squeaky , the Wubba dog toy will be a Boxmas favorite because of its durability and appearance. There is no need to continually throw away and replace toys when you purchase this product. Your hybrid will engage in chewing and decrease any risks of periodontal diseases as well. It can be a challenge for most owners because of the intelligence plus energetic combo, but with patience and determination, your hybrid will follow proper orders in no time. Boxers are easy to lead and train. This trait will save you a lot of time and effort. Make sure to familiarize yourself and your pup with play biting and attacking an intruder or stranger. If you can, plan for the whole week instead. It can be a challenge to keep their attention focused on the training, but with perseverance and patience, everything will eventually pay off. Encourage positive reinforcement: Positive reinforcement will always be one of the best and most endorsed strategies to train a dog because it taps into the mental aspect. Your hybrid will automatically think that the specific actions you want your dog to do will earn a treat. Apply this in all tricks and strategies you wish to impart. Another thing to remember is always to have a big space for them to move around when around children to avoid any unwanted accidents. Your hybrid is a large dog and might be prone to crashes if confined in a small space. You can renovate your backyard and put obstacles or toys, or you may visit the park and play with other dogs. But in general, Boxer Mastiffs are very loyal, fun, active, and protective. The temperament from both parent breeds ensures that there is no aggressiveness or violence along with, of course, proper training. Older members of the family can pitch in and help training the big fellow, and this also allows more exposure to different people. This plan will avoid the unwanted one-owner type of dog in the future, as well as agitation and idleness. As an owner, it is your responsibility to ensure a healthy diet, proper living space, frequent trips to the vet, and specific training to help your hybrid live the best years of its life. Typically, Boxers are lively and playful dogs that make great companions for families with children. They are also known for being intelligent and loyal, which makes them excellent guard dogs. The Mastiff, on the other hand, is a large and powerful dog that was originally bred in England. Mastiffs are gentle giants that are fiercely loyal to their families. However, they can also be wary of strangers, which makes them good watchdogs. When you mix these two breeds together, you get the Boxer Mastiff mix — a dog that combines the best of both worlds. The Boxmas is an energetic and affectionate dog that is perfect for those who want an ideal family pet. The average height of a Boxmas is 24 to 27 inches, and they typically weigh between 70 and pounds. These dogs have short, dense fur that is usually black, brown, or brindle in color. Boxmas Temperament The Boxmas is a cross between two very different breeds of dogs, the Boxer and the Mastiff. As a result, they can inherit a wide range of temperament traits from their parents. Some Boxmas dogs are outgoing and friendly, while others may be more reserved. Some are laid back and easygoing, while others have a higher energy level. However, all Boxmas dogs share a few key temperament traits. They are intelligent and trainable dogs who bond closely with their families. With proper socialization, they can get along well with other pets and children. Boxmas Exercise Needs The Boxmas is a high-energy dog that needs plenty of exercise to stay happy and healthy. These dogs need at least an hour of vigorous exercise every day, and they thrived best when given ample opportunities to run and play. The following exercise activities are some great options to consider: Fetch — This helps your dog to use up some of its energy, as well as giving them some mental stimulation. Tug-of-war — This is a great way to play with your Boxmas and build up their muscles. Running — Take your dog for a run or jog around the block to help them get its daily exercise. Long walks — A daily walk is a great way to bond with your dog and give them the exercise they need. Hiking — If you live near trails or woods, take your Boxmas on a hike for a fun and different way to exercise. Mental Stimulation In addition to physical exercise, the Boxmas also needs plenty of mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. These dogs are intelligent and need to be given some challenging tasks to keep them occupied. Some great ideas for mentally stimulating your Boxmas include: Food puzzles Give your dog a food puzzle toy to help them use their brain power to figure out how to get the treats inside. Specialist Training Enroll your dog in an obedience or agility class to help them learn new tricks and stay mentally sharp. Boxmas Training Needs The Boxmas is a smart dog that is easy to train. They are eager to please their owners and respond well to positive reinforcement methods such as treats, praise, and petting. These dogs need to be given consistent training from an early age to prevent them from becoming willful or stubborn. A few examples of their training needs include; Obedience training This will help your dog to learn basic commands such as sit, stay, come, and down. Agility training This is a fun way to give your dog some exercise and mental stimulation. You can train for agility by setting up a course in your backyard or taking your dog to an agility class. Tracking This is a great activity for dogs who love to use their sense of smell. You can start tracking training by hiding treats around the house and teaching your dog to follow the scent to find them. Socialization training This is crucial for preventing aggression in your Boxmas. With proper training and socialization, the Boxmas can be a great addition to any family. Is the Boxer Mastiff Mix Loyal? Yes, they are! The Boxer Mastiff Mix is one of the most loyal dog breeds. They are also protective of their family and home. If you are new to the household and you want that loyalty from them, you need to gain their trust first. The best way to do this is by being consistent with your rules and providing them with plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Once they trust you, they will be your loyal companion for life. Boxmas Barking Levels The Boxer Mastiff Mix is not a yappy dog, but they will bark when they feel the need to protect their home or family. If you want to control their barking levels, you can provide them with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to tire them out. Boxmas Drooling Levels The Boxmas is not a particularly drooly dog, but they may drool when they are excited or nervous. If you are concerned about their drooling levels, you can wipe their face with a damp cloth to keep the drool from getting too out of control. You can also feed them smaller meals more frequently to help reduce the amount of drool they produce. Another way to help with the drooling is to give your dog plenty of chew toys to help keep their minds occupied and help reduce anxiety. The Boxer Mastiff Mix is a large breed dog, so they will need high-quality dog food that is formulated for large breed dogs. This food should be high in protein and fat to help them maintain their energy levels and muscle mass. It is important to avoid foods that are high in carbohydrates as this can lead to obesity in these dogs. You should also avoid giving them table scraps as this can lead to digestive issues. They can have meals like; Raw meat.

Our dogs and past Puppies! We specialize in breeding Mini Goldendoodles as well as a few other breeds. We also have partnered up with several other high quality breeders that raise mini goldendoodle pups that meet our strict genetic criteria and testing. So we usually have a good selection of very high quality puppies. View Our Available Puppies! Not all mini Goldendoodles are equal, there are a few different versions to choose from each having a little different genetic background based on the pups parents. We will explain all the differences in Mini Goldendoodle puppies and how they are bred below. We raise all versions of the mini goldendoodle breed. F1 Mini Goldendoodle Pups. A F1 puppy is also known as a First Generation puppy. The puppies mother is a Golden Retriever and the pups dad is a Mini Poodle. This version of mini goldendoodle usually has soft wavy or curly puppy fur. They will shed until they lose their puppy fur, after shedding they will shed a lot less, but will shed. This version is partially hypoallergenic and usually requires low maintenance. F1 mini goldendoodles usually need to be groomed every 6 months along with daily brushing to keep their curly hair from matting and getting tangled. The dogs usually grow up having great temperaments similar to golden retrievers. They usually get about inches high at the shoulder and range in weight from pounds. F1b Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1b is known as a second-generation mini goldendoodle with the pups mother being already an F1 Goldendoodle and the pups dad being a mini poodle also. So the difference between F1 and F1b is that the mom is not a golden retriever but an actual F1 Goldendoodle. They also have very soft curly hair but with almost no shedding. This F1b version is semi-hypoallergenic and a better choice for anyone who has pet allergies. The F1b also should be brushed on a daily basis but will need to be groomed more frequently then a F1. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is recommended to keep their coat in perfect condition. F1b Mini goldendoodles get around 18 to 20 inches tall at the shoulders and range between pounds in weight. F1bb Mini Goldendoodle Pups. An F1bb goldendoodle is also known as a third-generation mini goldendoodle. This mini goldendoodle version has a coat more similar to a poodle than of a golden retriever. This is because the pup is more of a poodle than a retriever. Making it the very best version for anyone with pet allergies. A 6 to 8 week grooming schedule is required to help prevent knots or matting. This version is super intelligent and loving, and usually seems to have more energy than the other versions of Mini goldendoodles. This version is usually smaller in size, weighing around pounds and only getting inches tall at the shoulders. The smaller size makes them a great size for smaller homes and apartments.
