BoShih Activity Requirements

The BoShih is a relatively new breed of dog that originated in 2010. This Chinese native was created by crossing two purebred Chinese dogs and an American Pit Bull Terrier. The BoShih’s deliberate breeding was done with the intention of creating a dog that would combine the desirable traits of both parent breeds. Today, the BoShih is still considered a new and rare breed. The physical characteristics and personality traits of the BoShih vary from pup to pup. Some resemble the appearance and temperament of their Pit Bull ancestors, while others have physical traits that are more like those of their Chinese ancestors. The BoShih is an energetic, playful, and loyal dog. They are intelligent and respond well to training. They are also protective and make good guard dogs. The BoShih is a good match for an active household. They are a medium-sized, muscular dog that enjoys running and playing. They also do well with older children.
