Boxers and Dobes

I havnt had much experience with Boxers except for two, one we dog sat and he was a great dog, crate trained but he was extremely excitable and required a lot of exersice. He played very well with my girl dog, he was a gentlemen.
The other was my aunts secretaries dog and man she was a firecracker. A ton of energy and really needed strict obediance and even more exersice.
 
I have had a lot of Dobies in my life and they are such honorable, regal, gentle dogs (except the one that bit me when I was little but it was my fault, he was a trained guard dog and my dad told me to wait in the car.....which obviously I didnt, good news is after the owner came out, cleaned my lil wound and introduced me to the dog he was nice) Anyhoo my pit bulls 2nd favorite play buddy is a doberman, his name is Hank, his owner sent him away to obediance school and he is AWESOME! he is the sweetest most gentle dog, tolerates a lot, is a absolute goof and dosnt play rough with my girl at all.
You have chosen two string willed dogs that alone need a great deal of training. I figure if your going to pay that much for a dog then the proper training is required anyhow. I think they would do well coexisting, especially of the opposite sex. I have found that a majority of the dobies I've encountered are not animal aggressive and IF anything they are the peace keepers. I wish I knew more about boxers in that sense but I'm afraid I do not.

here is a link to a great description of boxer's temperment......

we have a boxer mix. she is really shy, but is a great dog once you get to know her.

I have a 8 yr old female boxer, a 3 yr old male doberman, a 2 yr australian shepherd mix, and a 4 month old dachshund puppy.  Everyone is spayed and neutered. 
 
The boxer is a bit dog aggressive especially towards other females, but when properly introduced she does okay.  When we got her she was 8 weeks old, now she's 8 years old, but she still acts like a puppy.  She is constantly on the go, and needs a lot of exercise.  She was very easily distracted as a puppy and took forever to obedience train although she was easily house trained. She does have a tendency to be jealous of my other dogs, and is very pushy for attention.  But after a long day at work she is the first to meet me at the door, her entire back end wagging. 
 
The doberman on the other hand was a walk in the park.  He was a "rescue", I use that term loosely.  He was brought into the vet clinic that I work at for euthanasia at 7 weeks old because his current owners believed he had "mental issues"  I ask for and recieved permission to take him home with me.  He was very flighty at first, but within about a week he had made a major transformation. He is now a very level headed dog.  He is very sensitive to the tone of my voice and always wants to please me.  He believes that every dog is his friend, and when I brought the dachshund puppy home, he was so excited that I had gotten him a new "pet".  He is the moderator in my house, any time there is a disagreement (there aren't many) he has to check on everyone.  He just recieved his therapy dog certification and loves to visit the kids at one of our local schools. His previous owners still come to our clinic (where he goes daily) and are just amazed at what has become of that "psycho of a dog"  
 
These two dogs are total opposites but they seem to work very well together.  Good luck finding your new baby.  

I have and raise Boxers. I always wanted one when I was growing up. They are the best. As far as the "Bully Breeds", Boxers can hold there own. Mine have a very impressive bark. Of course, you can get them with a large, wide head, or a smaller. My male is about 25" tall and about 100 lbs. My female is 23" tall and around 70 lbs. They stay indoors with us and are a big part of our family. We had pups just over a week ago. You can see them at [linkhttp://www.geocities.com/tdyer56]www.geocities.com/tdyer56[/link].
 
Good luck. Boxers are fun, loyal, smart, etc.

Tim  you have a very nice Brindle Male.  Your male looks identical to my parent#%92s boy Sebastian

Thanks, He really is a beautiful boy. He is also very calm (for a boxer).[sm=smile.gif].
