Appearance of the Bulloxer
|
This hybrid breed will appear like a Boxer in height and length, but gets its muscular shape from the American Bulldog. These dogs are strong and have broad chests. Their muzzles are small with the potential for an underbite, and heads can be described as square or blocky. Their muscles are well defined and their stomachs will be folded. The tails found on these dogs will be medium-sized and are sometimes docked. These dogs are considered a large breed and will reach around 31 to 41 kilos and grow to 56 to 69 centimeters in height. Their coats, dense and stiff but close to the body and short, come in a variety of colors. These include white, light brown, brindle and fawn. For a more detailed description of this breed's appearance, search for Boxer and American Bulldog appearances. Although this breed may not have all the characteristics of both breeds, it will be a blend of both. |
Temperament of the Bulloxer
|
This gentle breed is known for being a friendly, social pet that makes an excellent addition to the family. They're loving and playful, which means they'll do well in a home with children. They are also energetic dogs who would love to accompany an active owner on their daily walks or errands. Bulloxers are intelligent breeds who like to please their owners and should learn quickly if used often. However, stubbornness is common in both Boxers and American Bulldogs, which can lead to complications. On the whole, they are not aggressive dogs, but calm and affectionate. Both parent breeds can make great watchdogs, so we can assume the same of their offspring. They are working dogs who will be happiest when they have a job to do. This breed is muscular and can be strong in adulthood. Therefore, training is a must. Keep them busy with toys and activities, because if they get bored, they can become destructive. They'll also get on well with other animals if socialized at a young age. |
Needs and activities of the Bulloxer
|
These dogs are known to be talented athletes who, in addition to a proper diet, will also need a moderate amount of exercise to stay in shape. It's essential that these dogs get enough exercise, not only for their happiness and health, but also because they can become mischievous and destructive if bored. This may vary from one individual to another, but most dogs of this breed will need between 30 and 45 minutes of exercise a day. |
Maintenance of the Bulloxer
|
This breed is very easy to care for, as it sheds very lightly and doesn't require abundant brushing of the coat. However, Bulloxers will need the same basic care as all other dogs. This includes dental care, nail trimming and ear cleaning. To keep their teeth and gums healthy and bacteria-free, do your best to brush them every day. If this isn't feasible, make sure it's done two or three times a week. You should check your dog's nails once or twice a month, but not all dogs will need to have them trimmed so often if they wear down naturally. If you can hear your pet making clicking noises as he walks, his nails should be trimmed. Ear infections can occur in any dog, but they can also be avoided. You should wipe your pet's ears weekly and check for any abnormalities at the same time. |
