Boxollie Temperament and Behaviour

The Boxollie is a fun-loving and energetic small dog. They have a very playful and curious personality and love to be around their owners. They are often described as mischievous, which leads them to get into things they shouldn’t. They are highly intelligent and are easy to train, but they can also be stubborn and impulsive at times.

Boxollie Activity Requirements

Boxollies are a docile, sweet-natured, playful, and energetic breed. They are small and compact, making them perfect companions for smaller households. Due to their small size and high energy, Boxollies do best in a home with a backyard. While they are a high-energy, playful dog, they are not overly demanding when it comes to their exercise routine. They only need about an hour of vigorous activity each day. This can be split up into several short walks or combined into one long play session. Because they don’t require a lot of exercise and can get anxious or bored easily, it is important to give your Boxollie plenty of attention when they aren’t exercising. This can help prevent them from developing behavior issues.
