How long do boxers live and what are they like in old age?

I FOUND IT I FOUND IT! Do you think I would have looked on my own page for a re-post? NOPE. Lol. Sure enough, 20 years old- you were right!

Holy moly. Based on that picture I'd say yes, definitely well into the geriatric years . That face just looks tired and like he's seen a lot! Body condition looks surprisingly good!

Our girl is much much grayer than Sandy and she is 11. But Sandy's face looks tireder than our girl does

We lost our girl at 5 due to cancer… and just lost our boy at 10.5 due to a tumor that was in a location that couldn't be operated on. Now that we are starting to look for the next member of our family… the thought has crossed our mind to explore other breeds that have lesser chances of cancer -- however we are finding that we love boxers too much (and appreciate how they treat our kids).

My boy is 11 and my girl is 8 1/2. The vet said that if it wasn't for the grey hair you wouldn 't know he is 11. He is still energetic loves to play and go for walks. He isn't as energetic as his puppy days but he is still pretty active.

On Rainbow bridge one just went over at 15 and another at 13 I think? Course there were two more at 5 and 6 ,years so.....
