Top 30 Most Popular Boxer Mixes to Fill Your Heart and Life

Choosing a dog breed takes careful consideration and research. Not every dog breed is suitable for your home or family life. Some dogs are great for apartments, and others need room to roam. Some dogs are not happy unless they have a job to do and others are happy just to be near you. It’s extremely important to match the breed to your lifestyle.

Boxer dogs are one of the popular breeds that have high owner loyalty. If you’re a Boxer fan and are also considering other breeds of dogs, you may also be interested in these Boxer mixes that carry the traits and personalities of Boxers and other great dog breeds you love.

Mixed breeds will often get the best of both breeds and have a hybrid vigor that makes them healthier and longer-lived than purebred dogs. They’re often more readily available and more affordable as well. Take a look at these crossbred dogs before you adopt your next pup.

Getting to Know The Boxer Breed

The Boxer has long been a favorite of dog owners. From celebrities of Hollywood’s Golden Age such as Marilyn Monroe, Bogart, and Bacall, to today’s well-known actors and singers such as Kim Kardashian, Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, and Jennifer Lopez; one thing they all have in common is, they all love their Boxer dogs.

Boxers are smart, energetic, loyal, and protective and have huge personalities. They are wonderful family dogs and make excellent guardians of home and property. They are smart and quite fearless. On the whole, they are friendly and easy to train because they are devoted to their owner, and are incredibly eager to please. They are a high drive dog and as such need a great deal of exercise. These dogs are not normally aggressive, but if they are penned up too long without regular exercise they can become so. Breeders take that into consideration when they cross this breed with others to introduce more sedate and calm breeds with the hope they will be passed on to the next generation of Boxer Mixes.

History of Boxer Mixed Breeds

The question comes to mind, “If Boxers are such a great breed, why mix them with another?”

It’s a valid question and historically Boxers have been very popular. Purebred dogs are very expensive and some breeds are prone to health issues. Crossing a purebred Boxer with another breed can create a hybrid that not only improves health and life expectancy, but breeders also hope that the cross will be the “next big thing” in the designer dog world. Remember Labradoodles?

The truth is, historically, many of these crosses were simply happy accidents and when the result was a nice hybrid cross, the breeding was repeated. Introducing other breeds into the mix can help to temper some of the Boxer’s high energy and is said to give the mixed breed dogs the best of both breeds.

My Recommendations

For a wonderful family dog, I recommend Boxador or Goldenboxer. Both of these are the product of two very popular breeds and get the best of both in pairing them together.

For a great working dog, farm, or ranch buddy, I recommend the Boxer Pointer or Boxherd. Either of these two crossbred dogs are wonderful to have out in the country where they are great companions and working partners.

For the more sedate indoor companion, I recommend the Miniature Boxer or the Boxapug as a couch potato snuggle dog.

1. Boxer Labrador Retriever Mix (Boxador)

Lifespan	12-15 years
Temperament	Sweet and loving
Average Height	21-25 inches
Average Weight	Females 50-70 Males 55-80
Exercise Needs	Moderate
Trainability	High

The Boxador is one of the more popular Boxer mixes. They are adorable puppies that have a lot of bouncy energy. They love to play and are quick to learn so they take well to training. This is a dog that’s eager to please but needs to learn how to harness that puppy energy so that it can focus on the task at hand. They do very well with positive reinforcement training. If you are willing to put the time in, your puppy can mature into a fine family dog.

Boxadors inherit a social personality from their Lab side, so they make great family dogs either as the only dog or as part of a multi-pet household. They are easily socialized, so they do very well in obedience classes and in working dog trials. They are friendly to outsiders and can also be quite protective over their family and pack.

Boxadors also inherit a more calm demeanor from the Lab side and will mature into a fun-loving dog with moderate exercise requirements and a well-behaved dog when in the house with family.

Lifespan	10-12 years
Temperament	Loyal, friendly, protective
Average Height	23-27
Average Weight	Up to 70 pounds
Exercise Needs	High
Trainability	High

The Boxer Shepherd is a great cross of two of the most popular breeds of dogs. They are very cute puppies that grow very fast. A Boxer Shepherd can reach his maximum weight of 70 pounds within the first year of life. Be prepared to have a very big puppy. The downside to this is that their bodies often grow faster than their intellect, and unless you put in a great deal of time and training with your pup, you can end up with a large, unmanageable puppy that doesn’t know right from wrong.

Boxer Shepherds have a lot of energy, require a great deal of exercise, and should never be left out in a yard on their own. Both Boxers and Shepherds need to be with their person and do not thrive when left on their own. They do very well as protection or guard dogs, with the proper training and socialization. A Boxer Shepherd that does not receive this care and training may become aggressive, bark, dig or chew and become generally destructive. They need to have daily exercise and guided obedience work in order to become healthy and well-behaved canine citizens.

Boxer Shepherds are loving and loyal and make excellent family dogs for an active, outdoorsy-type family. If you want a dog to go hiking, biking or running with, the Boxer Shepherd is a great dog for you.

The Boxmatian is a great cross that brings the best of both breeds together resulting in an energetic and smart dog that is both loyal and protective and beautiful to look at. Boxmatians are large dogs that keep their puppy ways well into their 3rd year, and beyond, in some cases. They grow into their mature bodies long before losing their puppy sensibilities. This makes them cute and fun as they are energetic and naturally curious. It also means that they need a great deal of time and effort put into training them and helping them to mature into solid canine citizens.

Depending upon which dog parent your Boxmatian takes after, your dog could be playful and goofy, or more sedate and companionable. This is a great dog for an active family or single person who loves to hike or run. These large breed dogs need regular exercise, as well as interaction with their owners. They are bred to be both working dogs and companions so they require lots of socialization and time. A home with a yard is a must as they need room to move and something to focus on.

The Boxel or Bogle is an interesting mix of the two breeds. They can vary greatly in size, and resemble either parent with coat color and face shape. Personality-wise, Boxels are “Velcro” dogs. They are affectionate and devoted to their owners and make great dogs for families or singles who are energetic and active. They are both intelligent, and trainable.

Boxels take very well to scent-training and retrieving as both their parent breeds were originally bred as working dogs. They have fun and goofy personalities and will keep you and your family entertained with their antics. They are not recommended for families with small children as they are not the most patient of the mixed breeds. They would be fine in a family with older children who know how to handle a pet.

The Boxel is a dog that needs a great deal of exercise and room to move. They are not well-suited to small space living and will thrive with a fenced yard to run around and play in. You must be sure your yard is secure because your Boxel may catch a scent and be off on an adventure if you don’t! Boxels make excellent watchdogs and they are barkers. Keep that in mind when choosing your dog. You will always be alerted when someone is coming to your home. They have a muscular and powerful build, especially for their smaller stature, and can pose an intimidating threat to trespassers. With proper training and socialization, these great dogs can live a long and healthy life.

Training is imperative while your dog is still young and manageable so that by the time he’s grown, he will be an obedient and calm companion.

These dogs grow fast, they require a good deal of exercise, but make your sessions short and sweet. Dogs like the Boxmas need time for their joints to close. Too much vigorous exercise or jumping (even up and downstairs), can do permanent damage to your dog. You also need to provide your Boxmas with good nutrition to support this growth process. Your Veterinarian will advise you on the best food and exercise regimen for your Boxmas.

These huge dogs are not for everyone. If you’re considering a Boxmas as a family pet, be aware that this is a dog who needs special care as a puppy and a great deal of time and attention to help him mature into a trustworthy and reliable companion. Boxmas is a great dog with a huge personality that matches his size and stature. He loves to play and will keep you smiling.

The cross of the Boxer and Husky results in a medium to a large-sized dog that can have dominant facial and color characteristics of either breed or a mixture of both. The ice blue eyes of a Husky are often dominant in the Boxsky. They can have a floppy or pricked ears. They are interesting and unique looking, to say the least.. The same could be said of the personality traits of this rather rare mix. Boxsky generally needs more grooming than a Boxer does. The deep undercoat of the Husky gives your Boxsky a thicker coat that sheds and requires some regular brushing.

Temperament-wise, the Boxsky is a smart and independent dog for the most part. He is not going to be as needy as your purebred Boxer. This can read as stubbornness in some dogs, and makes the Boxsky a challenge to train. The incentives and strategies you use in training other dogs do not necessarily work for this mix. It’s recommended that you start early with training and socialization and expect to apply a lot of time and patience with your Boxsky.

If you have room for him to run, give him lots of exercise and guidance, you can end up with a well-mannered and social dog, that will be a credit to your persistence.

Boxskys are loving companions and affectionate towards their person. They are also alert and fiercely protective. They can become predatory towards neighborhood cats and small dogs if you fail to socialize them. You must have a securely fenced yard for your Boxsky because he loves to run! Remember that Huskies were bred to be working dogs, same as the Boxer, which gives this cross energy to burn and a desire to roam and run.

They are funny, playful, clownish, and cute. They can also be snuggly and sweet and want nothing more than to be near you, touching you, or laying near your feet.

The Boxer/Basset Hound mix or Boxset is an unusual mix of the two parent breeds. While the Boxer is highly energetic and emotionally needy, the product of this mix can often take after the Basset parent. The result is a much more calm and sedate, emotionally independent dog that loves nothing more than to hang out and snuggle with his person. He is loyal and affectionate on his own terms and makes a great companion for a single or senior that has a quiet home life. This is a medium-sized muscular dog that may have the ears of either parent breed, and a stout and solid physique.

Your Boxset will need early socialization and obedience training. He has an independent (some may say, stubborn), streak and can be resistant in training. He is definitely food motivated so positive reinforcement with treats and a great deal of patience is needed to get the training to “stick”. As a hound mix, he may be a slave to his nose, and therefore you need to have good recall and obedience training or he may catch a scent and follow it out of reach.

This dog is a wonderful companion and happy to be a couch potato and simply hang around with his person. Avoid overfeeding the Boxset because his lower activity levels will make it easy for him to become overweight. Good nutrition from a high-quality dog food and moderate exercise daily will make him a healthy and emotionally well-balanced dog that will be a pleasure to own.

Final Thoughts

Boxer mixes for the most part are high-energy active dogs that require both regular physical activity and mental stimulation. They are emotional and in some cases very sensitive animals that need security, routine, interaction with people, and socialization with other dogs to maintain a well-balanced and happy life.

All of the Boxer crossbreeds that are highlighted here are considered “designer dogs” that are mostly bred for profit, but you can find them in breed rescues, and shelters as well. If you do go through a breeder for your Boxer mix pup, do your homework. Talk to the breeder, meet the breeding pair if possible, and find out all you can about the overall health and temperament of the pair. Any reputable breeder will have done health screenings, blood work, and genetic testing on both the breeding pair and the puppies before offering them for sale. Ask for the results of these health screenings to make sure that your puppy is healthy and not genetically predisposed to any kind of illness or genetic deformity.

Take your puppy to obedience classes and give him lots of opportunities to socialize with other dogs and meet and greet new people. Having a trustworthy dog means putting in the time to socialize and train him to be a good canine citizen. A dog is a 10-15 year commitment in most cases. If you are prepared to put in the time and keep your dog happy and healthy, dog ownership can be one of the most rewarding and joyful things in life.
