Appearance of the Bullboxer Staffy Bull
|
A Bullboxer Staffy Bull is a big, strong, muscular dog. In many cases, it resembles a larger, less stocky American Staffordshire Terrier with Boxer facial features. This breed has a thick neck, a relatively flat forehead, hanging ears and a square muzzle, often covered with white or black markings, which ends in a broad black nose. The Bullboxer Staffy Bull has a short, smooth, dense coat that can come in many colors such as gray, fawn, brown, black, brindle with white or black markings. The Bullboxer Staffy Bull's legs are large, heavily padded and arched to support its agile movements and considerable muscle mass. |
Temperament of the Bullboxer Staffy Bull
|
The Bullboxer Staffy Bull is a lively, fun-loving, charming, friendly and loyal breed. They can be protective and aggressive if not properly socialized and trained. They are friendly and get on well with children and other dogs. Although they make excellent family dogs, owners need to have experience in dog breeding. A combination of Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Boxer can result in a strong, aggressive breed that is difficult to train. |
Needs and activities of the Bullboxer Staffy Bull
|
Both parent breeds are loyal and affectionate, and thrive in a home where owners give them the time, love and care they need. The Staffy, unlike the Boxer, is known for its calm demeanor and lack of hyperactivity. The Boxer is rather hyperactive, especially during the first three years, so you can have a hyperactive puppy or a slightly calmer puppy, depending on the genes. However, education and socialization are crucial and begin at an early age. Boxers and Staffies are well-known family dogs who love their owners' company. Neither dog does well if left alone for long periods. There's no reason to assume that the offspring will be any different. Staffy X Boxers do well with other dogs, provided they grow up with them. Neither the Staffy nor the Boxer is particularly territorial, although the Staffy seems to have acquired a reputation for aggression towards other dogs. However, it's more a question of training and socialization that's the real problem. |
Maintenance of the Bullboxer Staffy Bull
|
On the whole, Bullboxer Staffy Bulls are low-maintenance pets. Their short coats are not prone to shedding, and they don't require regular grooming. However, they are not hypoallergenic and are therefore not suitable for allergy sufferers. These dogs should only be bathed when necessary, so that their coat retains its natural oils and shine. Note that some owners choose to occasionally brush their Bullboxer Staffy Bull with a firm bristle brush to remove dead hairs. Bullboxer Staffy Bulls should also have their nails trimmed 1-2 times a month, although toenails can sometimes wear naturally depending on the terrain they walk on. Bullboxer Staffy Bulls should have their teeth brushed every day, and have an annual dental check-up by their vet. |
