There are few dogs as lovable as the Boxer. They love their family and are good with kids, too. This pup is also an active dog that is eager to play whenever they get the chance. With a dog as fun-loving as this one, it only makes sense to take advantage of all their desirable traits and cross them with other equally affectionate breeds.

Many breeders had that same idea, judging by the number of mixed breeds available. We’ll run through some of the more popular and unique ones to give you an idea of which pups are available if you’re looking for an addition to your household. Get ready to learn about some adorable puppies! Here are the 16 Boxer mixes you’ll want to know:

Top 16 Boxer Mix Dogs:

1. Boxer Shepherd  (Boxer x German Shepherd)

The Boxer Shepherd brings all the friendliness of the Boxer with a keen intelligence that makes them easy to train. The German Shepherd is just as energetic and always ready for a game of fetch. This dog also brings a tendency to nip into the mix that will require some gentle discipline to tame. Both breeds are simple to groom, and daily brushing will keep their coats healthy.


2. Box-A-Shar (Boxer x Chinese Shar-Pei)

The Box-A-Shar dials back the pup’s energy level and brings a calm and independent nature to the table. The folds on their face are an adorable addition to the Boxer’s already expressive face. The Chinese Shar-Pei is also a bit smaller than the 80-pound weight of the parent breed. Overall, they’re an excellent choice for an individual or family with grown children.


3. Boxspring (Boxer x English Springer Spaniel)

The name of the Boxspring is enough to make you smile. The English Springer Spaniel brings their birding instinct to the Boxer’s history as a big-game hunter. Both breeds are energetic with the extra stamina to handle a long day of play and fun. There’s a double dose of friendliness, too, with the match of these two affectionate dogs.


4. Boxmas (Boxer x Mastiff)

If you’re looking for a larger dog with the Boxer’s pleasant personality, look no further than the Boxmas. Despite their size, the Mastiff is a lovable pup that is a bit more laid-back than the Boxer. However, they’re just as eager to play and share their affection with the entire family. They are also an excellent watchdog that will protect your home and children with intense devotion.


5. Boxer Chow – (Boxer x Chow Chow)

The Boxer Chow mix is a cross between opposites. While the Boxer is outgoing, the Chow Chow is more reserved and not as playful. Boxer chows are more suitable for an individual or family without small children. On a positive note, the Chow Chow isn’t a barker and is decidedly calmer.


6. Boxita (Boxer x Akita)

The Boxita is an interesting mix and is an active pup with a lean body. Conversely, the Akita is a muscular dog that adds some bulk to the former’s form. They also add a dignified nature to the happy-go-lucky Boxer. The playfulness and heartfelt loyalty to their family are still present. The hybrid is a bit larger, too.


7. Box-a-Pug (Boxer x Pug)

The Box-a-Pug is a natural. If these two breeds were people, they’d be best friends. Both are delightful and make excellent pets. The Pug, of course, is much smaller than the Boxer and has a little less energy. Thus, the cross has an increased risk of unhealthy weight gain. Luckily, both parents love to play, which can make that task easier for you.


8. Boxane (Boxer x Great Dane)

If you thought the Boxer was friendly, you haven’t met a Boxane. The Great Dane in them brings even more love and affection. Despite their size, they’re gentle and play nice with everyone, including children. They add more weight and height to the Boxer’s form. They also bring new colors from the Boxer’s typical brindle and fawn, including black, blue, mantle, and merle.


9. Boweimar (Boxer x Weimaraner)

The Boxer and Weimaraner share a big-game hunting past. The latter went after some serious opponents, including bears and mountain lions. That brings a courageous side to the Boweimar. Like the Boxer, they’re eager to please and need plenty of activity to keep them occupied. They’re slightly larger with a fuller chest and lankier form.


10. Australian Boxherd (Australian Shepherd x Boxer)

The Australian Boxherd takes the outgoing Boxer and gives them a work ethic. The Australian Shepherd is a hardworking dog that must have a job to be happy. They’re incredibly smart and can learn a routine and new tricks quickly. The Australian Boxherd might not welcome strangers, but they will stay loyal and affectionate toward their family. Like the Boxer, they’re a high-energy caine.


11. Boxerdoodle (Boxer x Poodle)

The Boxerdoodle is one of the most winning combinations of hybrid dogs. They’re quite adaptable and intelligent, which they get from both parent breeds. The Poodle doesn’t shed, which is another advantage of owning this mix. They’re mischievous sometimes, but they respond best with positive reinforcement. This one is another example of a canine that needs a job.


12. Bogle (Beagle x Boxer)

The Bogle takes the Boxer’s energy and loving nature into a smaller package that is just as exuberant with the addition of the Beagle’s personality. The latter brings a higher degree of wanderlust and a tendency to bark that you must prevent early. They also bring a loving nature that will make them welcome anyone to their home. The hybrid is a bit smaller with a coat similar to that of the parent breeds.


13. Bomation (Boxer x Dalmatian)

The Bomation is all personality and results from crossing the Boxer and the Dalmatian. This pup is every bit as active as their parents. A few new colors add interest to the Boxer’s coat. The hybrid is slightly taller and heavier with the same lean form. Daily walks are a must with this canine. Otherwise, they can gain weight. Also, they’re better for families who don’t have children.


14. Boston Boxer (Boston Terrier x Boxer)

The Boston Boxer is a sweet pup that is a bit smaller than their Boxer parent but with the same amount of energy and playfulness. They’re adaptable dogs that can do well in the city with daily walks. The hybrid is not as welcoming to strangers, which makes them an excellent choice for a watchdog. They’re smart and relatively easy to train as long as you don’t hurt their feelings.


15. Husker (Boxer x Siberian Husky)

The Husker brings a higher tolerance for the cold with all the affection you’d expect with a Boxer. They’re good with kids and other dogs, too. Grooming requires more work, depending on how much of the Siberian Husky traits they inherit. That side also brings a tendency to be very vocal that you must manage. The Husker is about the same size as a Boxer with a fuller chest and bigger head.


16. Boxador (Boxer x Labrador Retriever)

What do you get when you cross two of the most popular dogs in the American Kennel Club (AKC)? The Boxador, of course! It’s the fun-loving nature of the Boxer meeting the outgoing personality of the Labrador Retriever. Both breeds are smart and active. That makes them eager to please but also easily bored. They just don’t want to play; they must play.
