Question about a Boxer/Bulldog

Guitarjunkie · #1 2nd June 2011, 09:33 AM

I'm looking for another Boxer because I gave Miles away to my nephews kids...so he's still in the family and they love him to pieces. Now I realize I miss have my Boxer around and have been looking to replace him. I noticed an ad for Boxer/Bulldogs and some sell for as much as 1000 bucks. Do you know anything about the Boxer X ? Thanks

There are more than enough boxers available in shelters and rescues that I would never even consider paying that kind of money for a mix from what is most likely a BYB or worse. Save your money and go save a life instead

Appreciate your advice. I'll keep looking and I'll know when I find the right one. Thanks

Yea, the classified ads is really not the place to find quality puppies. And, like djheitz said, spending that much on a mixed breed is absurd. Plenty of boxers in shelters and rescues that need homes.

Try Pet adoption: Want a dog or cat? Adopt a pet on Petfinder type in your postal code and see what is available in your area. You may have to drive a little bit, but you can surely find a Boxer mix, if not a purebred Boxer online at a shelter that needs rescue!! We're driving 5 hours to adopt our purebred Boxer tomorrow. His adoption fee was $75 including neuter/shots/microchip/hw test/flea/worm treatment. MUCH cheaper than a $1000 classified mix...

Do you know of a good place I can get Cheese Steak around there? (c: I drive a truck so it might be possible to make it out there. I found my last Boxer in Laredo TX.

Thanks, I checked out Petfinder. There's a few pups I'm considering.

Since you're from Manitoba, have you looked at Boxer Rescue Canada? There are none listed in Manitoba right now, but Quebec and Ontario have tons (in my opinion)... There are all ages, and probably some bi-lingual

Just an idea...

ha ha! I can't promise I won't eat them on the way. I'll let you know when I find the perfect Boxer.
