Boxer – Preston

Black & white boxer siblings Names: Mooky (boy) & Maisey (girl) D.O.B - 09/02/2024 They’ve had 1 vaccination just needing 2nd vaccination. I have 2 young children (6 and 3 years old) and these dogs have been around children with autism. Really friendly dogs and don’t react to sounds or small kids as they’ve been around a lot of children. They love cuddles and wanting to sell them together as they have been side by side since birth. They are inseparable. Both haven’t been desexed. Selling due to my daughter’s father passing away and my mental health, I’m unable to cater to them and wanting them to go to a loving home as we have loved them since we’ve had them. They have really good temperament and all round friendly dogs. Will also chuck in both their XL dog crates and covers. (Covers have not been used yet).

Boxer – Ravenshoe

“Rebel,” the runt of a litter of nine, is our beloved girl. Sadly, we need to rehome her due to incompatibility with her sister. Rebel is nine months old, microchipped, desexed, and full of personality. She’s playful, clever, and walks beautifully on a lead. She is the type of dog who follows you everywhere, always eager to be close, with a tail that wags her whole body when she’s happy. Loyal, affectionate, and full of energy, Rebel deserves a loving home where she can thrive as the only dog. It breaks our hearts, but this is best for both sisters.

Origins

The Boxer’s history dates as far back as 2,500 B.C. They’re assumed to have been bred down from a bigger German breed known as the Bullenbeisser.

In the medieval times, Bullenbeissers were used as hunting dogs. Specifically, they were used to hold down big game animals until the hunters arrived. Examples of these wild animals including bear and wild boar.

Over time, the German Bullenbeissers grew out of favour. They began being used by farmers and butchers for guarding and driving cattle. The boxer we see today was created in the later part of the 19th century.

Their development can be credited to George Alt, who was a German dog breeder. He crossbred a brindle-coloured female Bullenbeisser with a native dog of unknown origin.

One of the puppies in the resulting litter was a white and fawn male called Lechner’s Box. This dog is believed to be the beginning of the line that became the Boxer.

Key Characteristics Of Boxers

Are Boxers Family-Friendly?

They are gentle and dependable, making them ideal family pets.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Boxers may suffer from:

Brachycephalic Syndrome

Dysplasia & Orthopaedic Deformities

Skin Conditions

Dermatitis

Eczema

Canine demodectic mange

Nature / Temperament

Energetic, Loyal, Loving, Kind and Gentle

Suitable Environment

Boxers have a lot of energy and need ample space to run and play. A home with a securely fenced yard is ideal, allowing them to burn off energy safely.

Other Considerations

Boxers puppies for sale are known also as service dogs. Often, they’re used to guide the blind, as therapy dogs and alert dogs for the epileptic.

They don’t tolerate extreme heat or cold very well. This is because they are a brachycephalic breed. What this means is that they have flat faces and short noses, making it difficult to breathe.

Boxers snore more than other breeds.

They come in different coat colours including brindle, fawn and white. Boxer puppies for sale with other colours may be mixed breeds.

How can I take good care of my Boxer?

Nutrition

Feeding your Boxer high-quality dog food is important to ensure them a long life. Owners should look for dog foods formulated for medium to large sized breeds.

Aim to feed a Boxer puppy 3 – 4 times per day. The adult Boxers eat less often, usually twice per day. One of the nutrients that shouldn’t miss in their diet is protein. This is because they’re a muscular breed that is very active. The protein content should constitute at least 30% of the dog food.

It’s also advisable to supplement their diet with fish oil or flaxseed oil. These food products give your Boxer a shiny and healthy coat.

Grooming

What’s exciting about the Boxer is that they stay clean for long periods. Their short coats rarely mat or tangle, making the breed a “wash and wear”. Still, grooming is an integral part of taking care of them.

Thus, you’ll need to brush their coats once per week. It’s recommended that you brush them in a circular motion.

Exercise

Exercise your Boxer during their peak activity times. That is, early in the morning and late afternoon.

These dogs will enjoy every task you put them to. Whether it’s frisbee fetch or flyball, your Boxer will be thrilled to take part.

Training

Boxer training ought to start as soon as you adopt them. These dogs are extremely energetic but they’re also intelligent.

Start your training sessions with simple warm up exercises. In other words, give them a chance to stretch their legs. Also, ensure there aren’t any distractions in the training area.

Due to their strong protective instincts, Boxers tend to get distracted very easily. This is why you need to get rid of unnecessary disruptions.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked Boxer Questions

Often featured in the “Most Dangerous Dog Breeds” lists, Boxers are considered aggressive. But this often has to do with their upbringing./experiences rather than natural actions.

These dogs are actually friendly with a playful temperament. They are very affectionate and they’ll want to hang out with you all the time. They will only attack when they feel threatened or when they’ll provoked.

That said, it’s important to note that Boxers don’t make excellent guard dogs. They’re more likely to lead intruders to your safe than bark at them.

Yes, some Boxers are born white. In fact, at least 18% of Boxer puppies are white. That said, these dogs suffer certain severe reactions. These allergies often result into hearing loss and an increased risk of skin cancer.

The average price of a Boxer puppy for sale ranges between $600 and $1600.
