1. thyroid problems. 10-15 years
2. The Boxer has a life expectancy of around 8-12 years, and there are a number of health issues that are linked to this breed. Some of the health problems to look out for include bloat, colitis, cancer, respiratory problems, thyroid problems, and heart problems. Also, remember that this is a short muzzle dog, and strenuous exercise can add to respiratory issues. As a short haired dog he also need shade and to be kept out of extreme temperatures. I love this breed and used to raise them. They are the best. I did have a male that lived to be fourteen.
3. 10-12 years cancer is common as well as the above saying thyroid i had a boxer before the one i have now she got cancer at 4 we had to put her down =[ i hope yours lives long and loved! BOXER LOVE!
4. Boxers are very prone to cancer. Many of them dont reach the age of 10. Sorry.
5. They are prone to cardiomyopathy, other heart problems, sub-aortic stenosis, thyroid, skin allergies, epilepsy and hip dysplasia. Their life span is 11-14 years.
