According to the breed profile site, about 12-15 years. You can help your boxer get the best out of those years, and perhasps extend his life by feeding a premium kibble, such as Canidae, Innova, Solid Gold, Wysong, etc.
My breed's aversge life span is 12-14 years, but my hounds live to about 18 years average

I'm sorry to say that Boxers are extremely short lived. Eight years and they get cancer. I worked for a vet that said, Boxers are another word for cancer. She had been a vet for 25 years and had seen hundreds of Boxers too. Every dog is different tho so maybe yours will have a long and happy life.

It depends. I have a pair of favorite boxers and I've had it for over 2 years now. The washing and wearing takes a toll on the color, but it still fits good. Plus, the ladies like them.

That is a great question. It's pretty uncommon to see one ,much older than 10. I had one that was approximately 12 years old and I think I've only seen a couple others that lived that long. They have such a huge predisposition for cancer that many die rather young.
Great dogs though!

A usually healthy dog, but may have, among other things, hip dysplasia, heart murmurs, and cancer.
The average lifespan is 11 to 14 years.

Depends on how often you wash them. Mine usually last about a year before they get holes in the butt and start wearing thin in the crotch...time for new ones!
