Temperament and Behavior
The Boxer Chow dogs are known to be quiet, dignified, graceful, loyal, and comical by nature. However, they dislike being cuddled or fussed over excessively. While they make a great companion to their owner, their devotion extends to the other members of the family.
Neither too shy nor aggressive, these dogs are no troublemakers and will refrain from interfering with others’ businesses. Although they enjoy the presence of kids, they will not accept harsh treatments and abuse. Make sure that you teach your kids to be kind and mindful of your pet dog.
Being territorial and protective by nature, they are mistrustful of strangers and will warn or challenge anyone who is identified as a threat to their family. However, if the stranger is introduced by the owner, the Boxer Chows do not mind being touched by them.
Care
Exercise
Since it is a high-energy dog, a Boxer Chow needs some daily exercises. You can play a game of fetch in a fenced yard, take it outside for a long walk, or involve it in dog agility or flyball. When it is too hot outside, you should keep your pet dog indoors because it does not tolerate heat well.
Grooming
Being an average shedder, your Boxer Chow requires weekly brushing using a rubber-grooming mitt or a firm bristle brush. You can occasionally rub its coat down using a chamois leather cloth to enhance its natural sheen. Maintain good oral hygiene by regularly brushing its teeth, and trim its nails once a month to keep them from growing too long.
Health Problems
A Boxer Chow is likely to be affected by any of these health conditions – hip dysplasia, entropion, hypothyroidism, corneal dystrophy, allergies, bloating, and deafness.
Training
While these dogs need a firm, consistent, and disciplined approach, confrontational training methods including yelling, hitting, and using shock collars can lead to aggressive behavior.
- Socialization: Early exposure to a variety of people, pets, and places is recommended since dogs are easily socialized from 5-18 weeks of age. Make the interactions positive by providing treats while your pet dog meets new people. Ask your neighbors and friends to touch, hold, and pet your Boxer Chow. This will make it feel as if the person is a member of the pack.
- Obedience: Establish leadership by teaching your pet dog to respond to commands such as ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘stay’, ‘leave it’, etc.
Feeding
The recommended diet for a Boxer Chow should comprise two-and-a-half to three cups of dry food a day.
