Boxweiler Puppies for sale
The Boxweiler is a cross between the Boxer and the Rottweiler and is also known as the Boxrott or the Boxer Rottweiler mix. Both parents are German working breeds descended from the old molosser type, and the two have been deliberately crossed since the 1980s to combine the Boxer's playful energy with the Rottweiler's steadiness and guarding instinct. As a hybrid the Boxweiler is not recognised by the Kennel Club, and there is no fixed standard, so individual dogs can lean noticeably towards either parent in both looks and character.
This is a large, powerfully built dog, typically standing 53 to 68 cm at the shoulder and weighing 27 to 45 kg. The short, dense coat comes in black, brindle, fawn and brown, often with white markings, and needs little more than a weekly brush. Boxweilers are loyal, playful and naturally protective, and despite their imposing appearance they are sensitive dogs that want to be close to their family. They have plenty of energy, gain weight easily, and need over an hour of daily exercise alongside firm, consistent training, which makes them better suited to experienced owners and active households with older children. Life expectancy is typically 8 to 13 years.
