the last two nights i've taken Madeline to the park a lady has been there with 2 dogs that look like mini boxers.  they are adorable but obviously NOT boxers.  so i asked her what breed they were and she said "i call them my mini boxers" and so I responded by saying 'ok, but what are they??' and she would only state that they were like little boxers.  so i kinda stayed away after that but last night i overheard her tell a couple of people that they are puggle / pitbull mixes, one's a year and the other is 4 months.  apparently they have the same pitbull dad but different puggle mothers and she mentioned "the breeder".  so i assume this means someone is profiting on this but perhaps not yet calling them mini boxers.  egads, it makes me uncomfortable...i hate the new trend of designer breeds and the thought of them messing with the boxer really get's me.    

has anyone encountered this yet?  I tried to do a search and see pictures but all i came across were sites for puggles OR pitbull stuff.

Yeah... due to all these "designer" breeds coming out, ppl keep on messing w/these breeds! It's so irritating!! I know of a site that claims to breed "Mini Boxers." They basically look like Boston Terriers but w/Boxer colors (ie: fawn). *grrr*

Thanks!

I think I have seen that they are mixed with Bostons.

yeah i came across those trying to find the pitbull mix.  urgh, those breeders shouldn't be allowed.  are there no limits or restrictions on breeders for this type of thing?  b/c they're basically profitting from a mutt.

It's ridiculous that people think a mini boxer is a type of breed.  Jetta is a very small boxer and people always ask me where I found a "mini-boxer".  I just smile and say, "As far as I know there is no recognized breed called Mini-Boxer and she's just petite."

Sorry Lisa. You are right, I think I read that somewhere else.

mini boxers are IMO ugly. i am sorry, but i have seen pics and they look deformed or something....nothing like a boxer.

Awww thank you. Yes, we get asked allll the time about our puppy or our mini-boxer. I do the same thing as J&O, just say that I don't believe there is such a breed and tell them that she is full boxer, just in a small package.

There have become so many designer breeds out there I cant keep them striaght.  I see some new variation of something about once a month...You name it...they mix it and call it something! I did see a peka-chi today that was cute though...Peka-Chi hahaha  the woman said she paid $500 for it and my eyes probably went like this  8O

 

[caillou]

Well.....she's just lovely ....had to be said :wink:

 

[CrazieKC]

"What do you think if my new 'peka-chi'"
"your what?"
"My peka-chi...Pekingese and Chihuahua"
"ohhhh...your mutt, she cute"

That's what I want to say to people...heck, my boss rescued a dog that ended up being a 'schnoodle', she tries to just say it's 1/2 poodle 1/2 schnauzer and she said everyone tries to correct her by saying, "oh, a schnoodle...how cute".

I was recently drinking at a local watering hole of mine and talking to this regular there about stuff (sports, whatever) and I guess I mentioned I had a boxer or whatever.  He straight-up tells me how he has a "cockapoo" and how it's greatest dog ever.  I swear to god I choked on my drink and almost had it coming through my nose....it was all I could do from completely busting out laughing.  

Ok I realize I'm feeding stereotypes here but this guy lives alone and works at a hardware store, and he tells the most misogynistic jokes you've ever heard  (clearly is bitter about women).  I honestly don't think I could ever admit to owning one of those, whatever the hell it is.  Those are just two words that should not be said together by any man ever again.
