Weight-Pulling: Attach one end of a rope to a heavy object like a spare tire, and the other end to a harness for the dog.Fetch: A Boxador will chase a ball or stick for hours.Walking/Jogging/Bicycling: Two 30-minute walks (or 20-minute jogs or bike rides) per day is a good target.Consistent Boxador exercise will be great for the dog's peace of mind-and for your own sanity as well. If bored or restless, these dogs will exhibit major behavioral problems like hyperactivity, destructiveness, and even depression. Safeguards aside, it's vital that you exercise your Boxador every single day. It's best, therefore, to not feed your Boxador for an hour before or two hours after any physical activity. And finally: Boxadors are highly prone to bloat (also called gastric torsion), an often-fatal condition that occurs when a dog "wolfs" its food and air gets trapped in its stomach the condition occurs most often if a dog eats just before or after exercising. A leash will help you control your Boxador if such a situation arises. Though not normally aggressive, these dogs are extremely loyal to and protective of their human family members, so they may be defensive and confrontational with strange people and animals. (And Boxadors-both puppies and adults-are very fond of jumping in fact, they're often called "Bouncy Boxies!" So supervision of puppies regarding their jumping tendencies is a must.) Regardless of age, a Boxador will also need to be leashed when in public. You can start exercising your Boxador puppy at three months of age by taking it on short (10-minute) walks, then you can increase the walks' length and frequency as the puppy grows.Ī few precautions to consider when exercising your Boxador: first, puppies younger than nine months old shouldn't participate in activities that include a lot of jumping, running, and navigating of stairs, as doing so can injure their still-developing joints and bones. The typical adult Boxador, depending on its age and overall activity level, will need 60 minutes of exercise per day at the very least, which you can accomplish with a couple of walks (or jogs/bike rides) and a good period of play.
They also make good jogging or bicycling companions. These dogs will need activities that both tone their muscles (like weight-pulling or tug-of-war) and condition their bodies (walking or fetch). Boxadors are muscular, energetic dogs that are the offspring of two equally active breeds, so this crossbreed's exercise requirements are quite high.
