Our family is looking to purchase a boxador puppy. I am looking for any information or reputable breeder. We live in Maryland but you travel to pick up on the east coast within reason. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

We have a beautiful 9-year old Boxador, Jake, that we adopted from the Animal Welfare League when he was just 12 weeks old. He was there with his sister. We had decided to adopt him, and when they put his sister back in the kennel, we could hear her crying and knew we couldn’t leave her alone. Just as we were filling out the paperwork to adopt her too, another family came in looking for the Boxador pups, too! They adopted her, Josie, and to this day, we meet during the summer for the siblings to have a play date at a local lake that has a dog park & beach. Jake is a beautiful black with white markings Boxador. He is strong and athletic and very active, even at 9 yrs. old. The best thing we did when he was a pup, was to enroll in obedience training. This really helped him be very social, friendly and focused. Although, we have never been strict with him, he still remembers all his training and that helps because of his size and strength. Jake has the long boxer legs and weighs approximately 75 lbs. He can be very protective of the family members, but, for the most part, loves everyone, people, kids, dogs, horses and some cats. We walk him at a local park or fairgrounds usually 3 or 4 time a day. They do require a lot of exercise. We would definitely adopt a Boxador again! They are great dogs, companions, family members.

I just read your post from JULY 17, 2017 AT 06:38

Are you a breeder of this hybrid / designer breed?

I love what I’ve been hearing of this mix. I have previously owned 3 boxers. I now considering a Labrador Retriever. However, I would love a Boxador.

Please let me know if you have any or if you know of anyone who does.

Thank you

Manuel

Joanna,
My heart breaks to hear about your Sicily!! We adopted a Boxador that was a few months old, was the runt of the litter and was ill too. She is now 2 years old, healthy and an absolute joy!! We did not plan on getting another dog/puppy after we had to make the decision for our 15 year old black lab rescue to pass. It was so heartbreaking but we know she had a wonderful, safe life with us and watching all of our kids grow up!! A few months after her passing, Gemini chose me, out of the blue, she got thru the crack of my neighbors door (she is a foster home for a Paw and Prayer rescue) while I stopped by and jumped up into my arms as I bent down. That was it!! I was smitten! She is such a joy and was just what we needed! You should continue your dog journey…many dogs (Boxadors) need good homes that people like you provide! Its a dogs purpose! Good Luck!

We have a beautiful 12 year old Boxador (Rescue) named Sicily and absolutely love her. My daughters babysat her for their cousin that worked for a vet and Sicily was brought in to be euthanized at only a few weeks old. Sicily was the runt and was said to have seizures and her breeder wanted to out her down. Well, my niece saw so much life in her and took her home with her other pets and then our girls got her and Sicily became theirs. Sicily is a beautiful fawn color with a beautiful face with white strip on her head white paws and white chest and people always ask what she is. Being the highly active dogs they are I often kept her and we walked 4 x a day and played ball. She is very deliberate and good at everything she does, shes smart, loving, loyal, protective and loves our all the grandkids that have come into our lives after 4 years of her being the only one. She loves camping, walking, playing and being with family. Boxadors are by far the best pet one could have if you are willing to take time with them. They don’t like being alone, can’t be crated and need training so they know whats expected of them therefore you may save your furniture.
Being that this is our first experience as pet parents I have to say Sicily, our boxador has been the most amazing experience ever. I never knew how important they are and how deserving they are of being treated like family. Never being left outside and having her spaces in our home. Sicily is 12 years old and has been with us since she was a couple of months old. She had TPLO sugery 5 years ago and never benefited from it and I would never do it again!! She now is suffering from Degenerative Myopathy which is breaking my heart and as much as we baby her I would only hope that when her time comes that she will just go because having to ever make that decision will be devastating to me. Boxadors are amazing at least this one is and I’m pretty sure there won’t be another like her but if I ever decide to have another pet I can assure you I will want another Boxador.

We recently lost our wonderful larger dog “Honey”. We have other dogs that we rescued from our local animal shelter but Honey was very special to us. She was a Boxer/ Great Dane mix. Smart, protective, and loyal. She lived a wonderful 14yrs.
Now we are looking to replace our lose with a Boxer mix again and the Boxador sounds perfect. If anyone around the southern California has pups we are more than interested. Thanks.

In reply to Cindy. I rescued a boxerdor last July. We live on a farm and he has lots of places to run. He was always outside until the Polar Vortex. I couldn't leave him out in the bitter cold so now he is inside. We have bonded even more. He hates it when we leave and usually leave him outside then to prevent any accidents or destruction. He knows a lot of commands and is a very good lovable dog. Best dog we have had. We had Springer Spaniels and Labradors before. But he is such a sweetheart. We were lucky.

I am the happy mommy to a boxador. She is 9 now and I rescued her when she was 4. BEST DOG EVER. My daughter just rescued a 3 year old boxador that I swear could be my puppies sister! Anyways, it is really making me want another!
Does anyone know of any boxador’s that need rescued in the Arizona area? Or puppies? I will travel for one within reasonable driving distance.
Thank you all!
