About Hogan (Wyatt) the Brindle Boxer Blend | |

|
Hogan, now Wyatt, was adopted from us a year ago but returned because he was not getting along with the other dog in the home. Wyatt is very sweet and loves people. He is housetrained and chewing on bones. He is very affectionate, loves to sit with people and very loyal.
FOSTER UPDATE: Hogan is an adorable little pup with a very unique coat. He is reddish color with brindle stripes here and there, somewhat resembling tiger stripes. He's a happy pup and enjoys being with his brothers and sister. Like his brother Hadley, he was a bit hesitant upon arrival, but has done wonderful and has no problem approaching people. He is patient at feeding time and when waiting his turn to go out. He does well with my big and little dogs and is very interested in my cats. Hogan sleeps through the night, is okay with baths and does well with nail trims. Any family will be lucky to have this pup as part of their family!
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Bullmastiff is a devoted, alert guard dog, with a good-natured temperament, though he tends to be willful.

At the same time, it is tolerant of children. Intelligent, even-tempered, calm and loyal. These dogs crave human attention. The Bullmastiff is an extremely powerful dog and needs a firm master. They should be thoroughly obedience trained for safety, and should be taught not to pull on the leash. Be sure to socialize extensively with both people and other dogs at an early age.

The Bullmastiff is a more aggressive breed than the Mastiff. He tends to drool and snore. Puppies may seem uncoordinated. These dogs are very sensitive to the tone of your voice.

It is a good idea to feed them two or three small meals a day instead of one large meal. The short-haired, slightly rough coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush, and shampoo only when necessary. There is little shedding with this breed. Check the feet regularly because they carry a lot of weight, and trim the nails. They have a life expectancy of 10 years.
