Is my puppy a Boxer mix?

shmelsey · 11-24-2012, 09:33 PM

This is my first post on this forum, but I thought it would be a good idea to get some more opinions about my little dog. I recently was given a puppy, named Remmy, from a good friend of mine. She said she'd gotten it from another friend and she was told it was Boxer Terrier. We didn't' know what kind of terrier, so I did a little research and from pictures kind of figured she was maybe Boxer/Rat Terrier. I've been considering getting a dog DNA test done to figure this out. I don't' know exactly how old she is, but I know she's only a few months old. I was just wondering what you all thought and if she is Boxer, what kind of behavioral things should I look out for and are any tips for training her? I've never owned a boxer, but I've had a few friends that have had them, but I still don't know that much. Also, if you know anything about Rat Terriers or whatever else she might be it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

She is 100% mixed

I can see it being a Rat Terrier. Boxers ears dont naturally stand and she has a pointed nose. She sure is cute though

So cute

do her ears always stand up like that?

Not always, but they never lye back like a Boxer's. If she's in trouble, scared, or sleeping they go back pretty far.

Yeah, That's what I thought too. I'll just have to do one of those DNA tests to find out for sure what she is. Thanks though!

She is adorable! She looks like boston terrier cross to me too!

After seeing pictures I agree. That's gotta be what she is. I don't know why I didn't consider that before, but now that I see it, it's obvious! Thanks!
