Boxmass

Affectionate, loyal, and devoted to its family, the Boxmas stems from the Boxer and the Mastiff breeds. This breed has a tendency to become a one-owner dog if early training is not provided. This dedicated canine is not known to be a nuisance barker. While its history is not well-documented, the Boxmas is a hybrid breed that originated in Europe in relatively recent years. This observant dog is known to be watchful of its surroundings and is skilled in protecting against intruders. While this breed may come across as intimidating, its wonderful personality is enough to win you over. The Boxmas contains a short, dense coat with water-repellent hair. Maintenance for this breed is easy as long as daily exercise is provided with intense play.

Boxmas Breed History

Due to its hybrid breed status, the Boxmas’ history is not well-documented. Both of its parent breeds – the Boxer and the Mastiff – were developed in Europe. The Boxmas was also said to have originated in Europe, although the year is unknown. Hybrid breeds were often developed in order to decrease medical diseases and develop healthier dogs. There are conflicting reports as to how the Boxer was originally developed. It is reported that the Boxer was developed from Germany in order to retain qualities from its ancestors – the Dogue de Bordeaux and the old fighting dog from Tibet. The Boxer continued to be modified for its appearance in order to create a more attractive canine. Other research suggests that this breed was developed by now-extinct breeds such as the Danziger Bullenbaiser and the Brabenter Bullenbaiser in Central Europe. In the 1830s, German hunts cross-bred these breeds in order to develop a new breed that was tough and agile. In 1895, the Boxer was said to have been established. The Boxer became a favorite among the military and police forces in the 1900s. In 1904, the Boxer was registered with the American Kennel Club. In 1940, the Boxer won Best in Show. The Boxmas’ other parent breed – the Mastiff – has been mentioned as early as the 6th century B.C. The Mastiff became a Roman favorite and was used as a gladiator in the arena. Its massive size allowed it to perform jobs consisting of guarding, watching, and search and rescue tasks. Sir Piers Legh was one of the most favorite Mastiffs who stood guard over the battle of Agincourt. This lovable canine was imported to America in the 1800s and almost became extinct in Europe during World War II. While its ancestors were trained to protect, today’s Mastiff is also a loyal companion willing to please its family.

Boxmas Breed Appearance

Standing large, the Boxmas is a massive breed that may intimidate those who are unaware of the gentle giant. Its tall body is muscular and strong. The Boxmas’ legs stand long with its large paws. The ears are of medium-length and resemble the Mastiff’s traits. The tail can be left natural or cropped. Its coat is short, dense, and water-repellent and varies from white, to brown, to black. When fully grown, this massive canine weighs between 70 to 100 pounds. The Boxmas’ appearance can vary depending on which dominant traits it takes on. Typically, this large breed will strongly resemble the Mastiff.

Boxmas Breed Maintenance

The Boxmas is not a hypoallergenic breed and has high shedding levels. If you have allergies, this breed may not be the best fit for you. Daily brushing is required in order to eliminate dead hairs and prevent hairs from accumulating around your home. The best brush to use would be a rubber curry brush, though a deshedder may come in handy at times. This active canine does contain a moderate smell which can be lessened with baths every 6 to 8 weeks. Over bathing can lead to overproduction of oils in its skin. Ears should be wiped and cleaned at least once weekly. Teeth should be brushed, ideally every day, for tartar removal. Nails should be maintained by trimming them every 2 to 3 weeks to prevent overgrowth and discomfort.

Boxers and Mastiffs often suffer from dilated cardiomyopathy, hypothyroidism, and eye conditions. Secure pet health insurance today to avoid high veterinary care costs.

Boxmas Temperament

Much like other hybrid breeds, the Boxmas’ temperament can vary, depending on which dominant traits it inherits. It can inherit the energetic nature of the Boxer or develop a more docile disposition. This friendly canine is known to be cheerful, genuine, friendly, loyal, protective, and affectionate. Its personality allows for a suitable companion pet. Early training should be provided so your Boxmas is fully accepting of younger children. Be careful to avoid your dog from becoming too attached to just one member of the family. Early socialization and interaction with all family members will prevent this from becoming an issue. Your dog may need to learn how to distinguish between a friendly stranger and an unfriendly intruder. Once it understands the difference, it can be affectionate and loving to others. Providing positive reinforcement is key with the Boxmas. It is important to be firm with commands and reward with treats. The Boxmas is considered a highly intelligent breed that wants to accompany its family everywhere. Its energy levels are generally described as high.

Boxmas Activity Requirements

Your Boxmas requires high instances of stimulation in order to remain engaged and avoid boredom. This breed is very exuberant and will need intense play outdoors. This active canine is accustomed to being used as a guard dog, watchdog, and military/police dog. Remaining active ensures this breed is provided with the necessary mental work that he needs to be content. The Boxmas will benefit from activities such as running, tugging, fetching, obedience classes, and numerous walks totalling at least an hour of getting out per day. With a breed as large at the Boxmas, apartment living should be avoided. Because exercise is a top priority for this breed, a large, rural home with a spacious yard would be the best fit. A warm climate is ideal.

I do not condone dog fighting, it's disgusting to me but in this world with negligent dog owners, some run loose. On the occasions where we've encountered these loose dogs(4 pits, 1 rotty and 1 Akita), Ty has sent each one running. Well,except one. That one was didn't make it home. But he's only super Alpha with large breeds. He tolerates cats, loves kids and warms up to women like nothing I've ever seen. And he gets butthurt and pouts or sulks by putting his chin on his paws with his back pointed towards me. Lol. He's a trip but I'd give my life for him.

We found our Wallie at a shelter when we were deciding to foster. He was a big love bug from day one. We fostered him for 2 weeks and fell in love after 24 hours. We adopted him before the 2 weeks were up. And he is a sweetie. He has a lot of energy so he needs time to play or he will chew things. But he also loves to snuggle. We have 5 kids ranging in ages from 16 to 1 and he is so good with all of them. He has never once knocked over the baby. Even when he is in a fun run he is always careful around the baby. He lets the baby lay on him and cuddle him. And he loves it. He is very protective of us. He has stood in between our teenage daughter and another dog to protect her (the dog wasn’t a threat but Wallie wasn’t going to let him get close), but he does follow our lead and once someone is accepted by us he is super friendly with them. We have some issues as far as training him to not grab food off counters. But he is learning. And we love him! He is a great family dog, he always has to be with one of us. He’s a love bug!

AMAZING breed. Very quick learners, understands everything i say and responds. Smart a#% personality though does come with the mastiff stubborness. They do require a lot of patience. Bentley likes to act like the concierge 9f the building and refuses to go inside until he sees everyone in the buildings has gotten home. His capacity for understanding has allowed him to become an equal family member (not just a pet) and not once did he try to take an alpha role in the household. All i can say is phenomenal breed for someone willing to put in a good few hours a day with a dog. Yes he is very time consuming :)

I adopted him just two days ago from city animal control. They had had him for several weeks and he was going to be scheduled for euthanasia. They told me he was about 3 years old but his behavior suggests he may be less than 2 years old. I have so far found him to be excitable but very willing to listen to direction. He seems to have little interest in the toys I have gotten him so I need to find a way to engage his mind. Perhaps I will look into agility equipment. The only major Issue I have had with him so far is with my cat. He wants to play with him. The cat of course wants nothing to do with him and so runs away thus triggering the "prey, chase it" reflex. So I need to desensitize him to cats.

We have had Bullet for 2 years this year. He spent the first two years of his life being trained in a minimum security prison. Lucky for us, the big lug was far too lazy to ever be a service dog! He is the greatest dog I have ever had. So affectionate and adores being apart of and with the family. Him and our chihuahua have become the best of friends over the passed 2 years. The chihuahua was a little unsure at first, but quickly realized he was a gentle giant and now she's not afraid to play with him or show him who is boss. And he always lets her! He has never been aggressive with her in anyway. Last summer unfortunately Bullet tore his ACL and had to have surgery and a plate put in. Our vet pointed out that bullet has/had abnormally straight legs. They lack the natural curve dogs back legs have. I'm curious if that is possibly a breed thing. He is also such a great guard dog it can't help but pull your heart strings a little haha I have had him stand in front of me and push me back as a stranger approached my yard to talk, to making sure to scare the crap out of any unfortunate maintenance people having to do any kind of work near my back yard while kids are playing back there. Not to mention he does not let me leave his eye site haha Everyone needs a boxmas!!!

She loves to chase rabbits in an open field
Walks and watching her interact with nature
Well we got Izzy when she was a puppy, only 4 months old. We adopted her from the animal shelter of a neighboring city. She had 6 brothers and sisters to choose from (Izzy is a girl). I fell in love with her the moment I saw them and I knew I was going to pick her. She was the leader of the pack, the one they all seemed to go to for acceptance, and she had the classic markings of her breed. She was beautiful. Her mother had to be put down not long after she was born because of her aggressiveness towards people and I think that played a big role in her not trusting new people that come around until she sees them a few times. She is very stubborn, she has bad anxiety when going outside sometimes, and she doesn’t realize her own strength and how big she is but all of that are things we are working on and she’s getting better everyday. Izzy loves to look out windows and watch people, she’s not a big barker but she does like to low growl at people from far away. She still a puppy so she’s kinda goofy, uncoordinated, stubborn, and doesn’t always listen but with that being said she’s very graceful for a large breed and when she gets going is one of the fastest and most graceful dogs I’ve ever watched run. She loves chasing rabbits and has even caught one, she just used her nose to nudge it and walked away. So she’s not aggressive towards other animals, she just likes to play and because she’s big it can seem rough but actually it’s harmless play. She does need her exercise and when she wants to do something your going to weather you like it!!! :) She’s also great with other dogs and loves to play with them but people pick their dogs up and take the long way around her sometimes when they see her on the sidewalk (even though she’s way more apprehensive about them than they are of her). She’s very smart and you can tell she knows what’s she’s learning but you just have to make it fun for her to learn in order for her to apply it. With all of that being said she’s a gentle giant who thinks she’s a lap dog and just wants to cuddle with her loved ones at the end of the night.
