Care: Exercise
Boingles are fairly active dogs and need regular activity to remain healthy and happy. Daily long walks, jogging and some playtime will keep the dog’s energy channelized and keep him lively.
The Boingles are playful natured and seldom like to be inactive for long periods. Inadequate amounts of exercise may induce behavioral problems in your pet.
A game of fetch in a fenced backyard and treats will make the pooch happy, and give you the opportunity to form strong attachments with your pet.
Grooming
The Beagle Pointer Mix is a low-medium maintenance dog breed. Shedding is average so brushing it daily with a slicker brush is essential to remove loose hairs and debris.
Like all dogs with long ears, your Boingle is prone to ear infections, so regular checkup should be done for redness, bad odor, and tenderness and cleaning is required.
Your dog should be bathed just when she needs it but you can rub her down with a damp towel in between to clean her and remove hair and keep it clean and hygienic.
Nails should be clipped only when they are too long and brush their teeth twice a week to keep them healthy.
Health Problems
There are no breed-specific health issues of a Boingle, but being a crossbreed it may be affected by some of the diseases that are commonly seen in its parental lineage.
It may suffer from genetic eye disorders, allergies, hip dysplasia, skin diseases, and cancer.
Owners should seek health clearances of both the parents and buy from a trusted breeder.
Training
The Boingles are smart and intelligent dogs, and training them is not a difficult task as compared to other breeds. The training sessions should be kept short, and simple so that they don’t get bored quickly.
Rewarding and treating the dog while teaching new exercises will motivate the canine and keep them interested in the regime.
Early training and socialization are very important aspects of having any dog so be sure to put in the time, to make things easier for you too when the dogs grow up and make them friendly with others.
Crate training is needed to prevent the puppies from getting into mischief when no one is around to supervise them.
Feeding/Diet
Since it is a fairly active breed, it requires a considerable amount of food that suits its lifestyle.
The Boingle’s diet must contain vitamins B and E, protein and fat to provide sufficient energy and a balanced nutrition.
Dog food can be fed 1½ to 3 cups a day. Prevent bloating by not feeding the dog after a period of vigorous exercise.
