hi yall! we're a "boxer family" (we love all dogs but boxers have stolen our hearts) and my dad adopted this pup about 6 months ago. at the shelter she was listed as a "boxer mix". you can def see the boxer, but what else do you think? at first i thought maybe pit but she is SO BIG. according to the shelter shes only 2.5-3yrs old. she's like 85lbs already. i'm kinda thinking a mastiff mix? maybe even cane corso?
yeah! she's definitely all boxer in personality. the moment i get on the couch she's on top of me lol. she's just SO big! our last girl was 75lbs at her most, which is big for a female boxer so when my dad got this dog, and she's so young, i was like "she's even bigger?!!" 😭😭 i know bully's can be stocky, so i do think a lot of her weight comes from muscle 💪
She’s def big! My boxers are actually “Bogles” (Boxer+Beagle) but the one who looks most like a Boxer definitely acts most like a boxer. The one who has a beagle-esque face acts more like a beagle.
But mine aren’t even 50 pounds so whew that’s a big dog!
i love beagle mixes omg! i also had a beagle growing up but she was so hound she'd always "follow her nose" and get out of the yard a lot. one time she got out and never came back but my dad saw the neighbors walking her lol😭 my dad was like "i swear that's her." but we weren't 100% and didn't want confrontation and she was obviously well taken care of, so we let it be. she had a cute little diamond mark in her back and that's how we knew it was probably her lol
lol she really is! anytime i come over she starts "shrimping" she's like, "big sis is home!! i'm so excited!!!" i love the butt wiggles and shrimping so much!
We got our boxer as a rescue pup and were told she was a pitbull mix. She turned out to be a beautiful brindle boxer. She ALWAYS shrimps and butt wiggles when I come home. Another boxer thing she does is enthusiastically dig up rocks and bring them in the house.
my dad gets mad at the digging lol! our girl is definitely a digger too... one of those boxer traits you just gotta live with😅 my grandma even had to block off her flower garden because the baby was getting into it lol
i agree! she could pass as full boxer but there's something about her head and size that makes me wonder. someone else also said rotti too in this thread! i kinda agree. both dogs are huge but have crazy sweet personalities, which she displays
Only see boxer. I currently have a pit with “some” boxer genes, but also had a boxer mix before that had some rando pit genes. Weirdly, the first who was mostly boxer was the BEST DOG EVER. He was incredible. He looked straight to your eyes and saylid with his whole being “what do you want me to do? I want to do that THING, the thing you want”. Also currently I have a boxer who’s grown (4) who’s coming in over 100 lbs. he’s ENORMOUS. I met his parents and he surpassed both of them long ago. I can stand straight up and put my fingers in his back. Huge. Great dog, but a LOT of dog. That was long winded to say a boxer mix is usually a well tempered dog; goofy and friendly like a boxer, but guardian like the mix.
that's the thing! maybe she is all boxer (doubt it tho, she's a shelter baby) bc that's allllll her personality is. she's a boxer thru and thru when it comes to personality lol. but she's just huge and probably gonna gain a little more weight as she gets older. i didn't even realize boxers could get to 100lbs! that's cool to know. it's crazy how boxers can be pocket sized or the most muscular machines you've ever seen lol
yeah... when we got her she was like 2.5 yrs according to the shelter, they also told us she had a litter before (she's fixed now) so i don't doubt she was used for backyard breeding... she also has anxiety too. like we have to give her meds, but they help. she's such a sweet girl i don't understand how people can just dump dogs when they become "useless" to them
thank you♥️ it's definitely something about her head shape and body that makes me think she's got something else in her. i was thinking mastiff for awhile.
she is so sweet it's crazy. like when we cuddle she won't let me leave lol. i'm like "i gotta get up" and she looks at me with those puppy dog eyes like "why🥺🥺"
I can tell just by the skull. Bullmastiffs are sweethearts too usually so a good mix. Anyways thats what id guess. They do have a DNA test for dogs that is pretty accurate
yeah it's her skull that makes me think there's more in there! it's so big lol. and the coloration around her eyes, nose/mouth too. we might get a dna test, but i was curious about what others think. i definitely see mastiff too!! but i've never owned one so i'm not sure.
aw what a cutie pie!! this is my girl florence who’s also a boxer mix! some days she looks sooo much like a full bred boxer but other days she looks completely different haha! best cross ever!!
I’d be surprised if she’s a mix. She looks pretty much Boxer to me. My last Boxer ( purebred) weighed 85lbs at 2 years old) my current guy is around 60lbs so there’s a range.
I’m going to guess mastiff if anything. My guy is only 50% boxer according to the dna test but he is all boxer personality. I think rottie mixes tend to be more dominant in the genes, unless yours is a true mutt.
i'm so sorry for your loss. i lost my "soul dog" boxer over 5 years ago, and i still think about her all the time. i still cry sometimes too. i got told grief is like a ball in a box with a target, the target might get smaller over time, but every now and then the ball hits that target, and it hurts. sending you all my love♥️
Thank you we had him for 13 years . The whole family misses him being here . Sorry for your loss it’s sad they can’t be here as long as we are . They are truly gifts .
I’m not sure if this helps, but I have a lovable, crazy, goofball who shares similar features. My boy is 2 and he’s mostly Boxer (with a tiny bit of Pit and Staffy) & Lab.
She’s pure boxer. I don’t know if this is a thing? But I am told there are European breeds of boxers that get huge? I had a white boxer that looked like a monster English bull dog, 120 pounds. I have a black male now who is 96 pounds. My brindle female is only 60 pounds full grown.

I’m thinking it’s gotta be another bully breed. She looks like a boxer for sure but I don’t see much else. First two pictures are 100% goofy boxer.
