Boxer Cane Corso Mix
A Boxer Cane Corso mix is a cross between a Boxer and a Cane Corso. Most grow into large dogs of 70–95 lb and live 10–12 years.
Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Boxer Cane Corso Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Boxer Cane Corso Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 22–26 inches at the shoulder, against 21.5–25 in for the Boxer and 23.5–27.5 in for the Cane Corso.
Coat, energy and training
Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.
Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.
The Boxer rates high and the Cane Corso moderate; a puppy may lean either way.
A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.
Temperament
The Boxer is usually described as bright, fun-loving, active. The Cane Corso as affectionate, intelligent, majestic. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
