The result of mixing a Pug with a powerful breed; the Boxer. This improved dog will have some of the most interesting qualities of both breeds:
From Pugs:
- Their loving soul and loyalty are the major qualities.
- Also, the mix will be very playful, adventurous, and calm at times like the Pug (and the Boxer, too!).
Physical qualities from pugs:
- Their squishy face and protruded eyes are keepers in most cases.
- The screwy tail also will be present sometimes.
From Boxers:
- Boxers are dominant in this mix in most cases, so you’ll get a watchdog with improved loyalty.
- Boxers can be a little stubborn so this Poxer will be a challenge for your training skills.
- Another important trait inherited is its energy levels.
Physical qualities from Boxers:
- If you love the floppy ears of the Boxers, lucky you; the Poxer has them too.
- Their sizes vary a lot, but, they are closer to the Boxer’s size in most cases.
- Because of the influence of boxers, their muzzle is longer. It will be better suited for more activities than the Pug.
