Description
Dog Breed: Boxer / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $395. Meet Buddy! ❤️ This handsome island boy has been settling beautifully into foster care and showing everyone what a wonderful companion he can be. At 1 year old and approximately 25 pounds, Buddy is a smaller-medium-sized adventure buddy. He loves going for walks, exploring the world, and then curling up for a well-earned nap. His foster family says he walks wonderfully on leash and continues to impress them with how quickly he is learning new things. He can “sit” and is working on "lay down" and loves having opportunities to learn and please his people. He is doing great in foster care, using the yard for potty breaks (no accidents), enjoying daily walks, and becoming quite the cuddle bug. Whether he’s relaxing by your side or joining you on an adventure, Buddy enjoys being near his people. He is crated when his foster family isn't home without any problem. Buddy is gentle, affectionate, and eager to connect with people. There is just one thing on Buddy’s wish list for his forever home: no cats. While he is learning many things, he still can’t resist chasing the resident cat and would be happiest in a feline-free home. His foster family has invested a lot of time and effort in his training and wants to see Buddy go to a family that will continue his training. Buddy would do best with structure and guidance so he can be the bestest boy. He is still young and learning. Buddy originally entered a shelter in Puerto Rico with his mother and brother. Now he is hoping his next chapter includes a family of his very own. ✨ Buddy’s Details: 1 year old Approximately 25 pounds Neutered Up to date on vaccines Mixed-breed Puerto Rican Sato Loves walks and outdoor adventures Affectionate and cuddly Learning basic commands and needs a family willing to continue his training No cats, please If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who is equally happy joining you for a walk or snuggling up for a nap, Buddy may be the perfect match.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Boxerhuahua, an intriguing crossbreed resulting from the pairing of a Boxer and a Chihuahua, offers a unique blend of its parent breeds' traits. Originating from designer dog breeding, their exact inception is recent and aims to combine the best qualities of both. Physically, they are highly variable, typically falling into a medium-small size range, often with a compact, muscular build and a short coat. Their heads can lean towards either parent, sometimes showcasing a distinctive "squished" Boxer-like muzzle on a smaller frame. Temperamentally, they are known for being alert, playful, and affectionate, often exhibiting a strong protective instinct inherited from the Boxer, tempered by the Chihuahua's vivacity. They can be good family companions for those who understand their need for consistent training and socialization. While adaptable, their energy levels mean they thrive with regular exercise, making them potentially suitable for apartment living if adequately stimulated. Health-wise, like many crossbreeds, they can inherit conditions from either parent, including potential for brachycephalic issues (from the Boxer) or patellar luxation (from the Chihuahua), underscoring the importance of responsible breeding practices.
