Species group: Mixed Breeds

Other name(s): Bull Boxer

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

While most Bull Boxers seem to be a cross between the Boxer and the American Pit Bull Terrier, it isn't impossible that you might encounter the cross of the Boxer with the English Bull Terrier.

Appearance / health:
It's impossible to predict the exact traits inherited by a mixed-breed dog, but the Boxer / Bull Terrier mix is going to be a sturdy, muscular animal.

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed dog, you'll probably want to be a consistent alpha who can react calmly and effectively if the Boxer / Bull Terrier decides to test you. A well-socialized animal will be devoted to its family.
