Boxmas (Boxer Mastiff mix) Temperament, Size, Lifespan, Adoption

Boxmas is a hybrid dog breed that is obtained by cross-breeding a Boxer and a Mastiff dog breed. These beautiful mixed dogs are loyal and devoted to their families. They are very good working dogs and may become one owner dog if they are not provided with early training. They do not bark a lot so you can take them out in public areas and gatherings. They are very good watchdogs who are always aware of their surroundings. They are the real protectors of their families and could give up their life while protecting. They have a thick coat on their body that is water repellent.

Boxmas Temperament

The temperament of Boxmas is a mix of both parent breeds. These dogs are either more like Boxer or Mastiff because it all depends on the dominant traits that are inherited. These canines are cheerful and loyal. They are friendly with kids and other pets. When they meet any stranger, they feel offended for some time but later on, they become friends. If you want them to be with your kids, these canines should be trained at the early stage of life. Early socialization prevents these canines from creating any issues. Training will help them to identify between a friendly and unfriendly stranger. 

Boxmas Size

The size of a Boxmas is medium. Their size is dependent on the size of parent breeds used in crossbreeding. If the parents are large, their resultant breed will also be large and vice versa. The average size of a female Boxmas is relatively smaller than the size of a male Boxmas. The average weight of a Boxmas is in the range of 70 pounds to 100 pounds and their average height is in the range of 23 inches to 36 inches from the shoulder. These beauties are easy to take out for a walk or jog. 

Boxmas Lifespan

The average lifespan of a Boxmas is in the range of 6 years to 13 years. This is an average life expectancy for a medium-sized dog. These dogs live a healthy life that is far better than their parent breeds. They are surprisingly healthier than their parent breeds. They are bred intentionally to obtain a canine with fewer health problems and more benefits. Some genetic health issues may affect their overall life expectancy. Other than health problems, accidents and mishaps can also shorten their lifespan. If you leave them alone for a long time, they may get depressed and could die before at an early stage of life. 

Boxmas Adoption

Boxmas are perfect to be adopted by families. These dogs are suitable for kids to play with. If you have other pets in the house, these dogs would love to interact with them. They not only play but also protect kids from their surroundings. If you are a working person, these dogs are not for you because they need proper time and attention from their owner. They are easy to maintain but regular exercise is a must. Keeping in mind all these characteristics, you should decide about adoption. For a cheaper adoption, rescue centers and shelter homes are recommended but if money is not a problem, a reputable breeder can be contacted.
