1. What is a Boxer Bulldog?

A Boxer Bulldog or a Bulloxer is a cross between an American Bulldog and a Boxer. Boxer Bulldogs are different from the Valley Bulldog, which is a cross between a Boxer and an English Bulldog.

The American Bulldog Boxer mix’s parent breeds were used for dog fighting in 19th-century Europe, giving them the reputation of strong, courageous, and aggressive dogs. But, as dog fighting ceased over the years, the American Bulldog and the Boxer developed into calm and affectionate family pets.

2. What is the Boxer Bulldog’s temperament?

The Boxer Bulldog mix has none of the aggression its parent breeds used to have. Bulldog Boxer crosses make excellent watch dogs as they are naturally alert, swift, and protective of their masters.

This American Bulldog Boxer breed is a high-energy, curious dog that needs to always have something to do. Otherwise, they will get destructive when bored.

Bulldog Boxer mixes are intelligent and athletic, and they love to play and be around their human family.

Here’s a clip of an American Bulldog Boxer mix enjoying playtime:

As we mentioned above a full grown Bulloxer weighs around 70 to 90 pounds (31 to 40 kg) and is about 22 to 27 inches (56 to 69 cm) in height. American Bulldog crossbreeds tend to share the same stocky body. Check out the American Bulldog Pitbull Mix, for instance.

Many Boxer Bulldog mixes have the signature Boxer look we all love, with a square-shaped jaw, a short muzzle, and short floppy ears.
