im getting a boxer do you think all three of my dogs well get along with each other ????

Question

i have a rottweiller and a german shepard

Answer 1

I have 3 boxers and a dobe mix. 2 of the boxers are girls. The second girl was the last dog I got and she was 9 months old at the time. I would only suggest getting a female boxer if both the other dogs are male, then I would have them all fixed and you should have no problem. My dogs all get along fine. It will take a adjustment period just like anything but if you are the leader of your pack you have the right to tell them that this new member is now apart of the pack and they will except it . Keep a really close eye on them at first and if any of them show signs of trying to be dominate stop it immediately. You are the only one in the house that is going to be dominate. I can put my dogs around any dog I want and know without a doubt nothing will happen. My largest male boxer was attacked by the neighbors male boxer while we were letting our dogs play, over a toy! MY dog that could have easily put the other dog down , backed off. cause he knows that aggression toward any one or thing is not tolerated. It is something I have trained into them hard since puppy hood. I really think they will be just fine. Boxers are normally very social dogs as long as they are raised right. and Congradulations!

Answer 2

The most important thing to know is that while males are more aggresive than females in most breeds it is the females you have to worry about in the boxer breed. they are not good to have with other female dogs. Sometimes you can have them with other females and nothing happen, sometimes it might not happen for 3-4yrs but once they have a problem with each other it doesnt go away so keep that in mind when getting a boxer. I chose a boy just because of the numerous warnings i got regarding the females. if its a pup then it should be fine just keep other dogs on leashs and have someone there to intervene. short frequent interactions are best at first

Answer 3

First off how old is the boxer? If it is a puppy your other dogs may have a problem at first but if it is an adult dog you might want to introduce the dogs at a public location with leashes on all the dogs.

Answer 4

It depends on the sexes and personalities of the dogs as to whether or not they get along. Make sure all three are spayed or neutered. This will cut down on chances of aggression between them greatly.
