Miniature Boxer Dogs

The miniature Boxer dogs, or the Mini-Boxers, actually have no Boxer dog in them at all. Instead, they originated in the United States as a result of the mating of a Pug male with a Rat Terrier, Fox Terrier or Boston Terrier female. The union between the Pug and the Rat Terrier is the most common and so the pups may also be known as Pugrats. They are effectively hybrids that are given the tag of miniature Boxer dogs purely and simply because they resemble a Boxer but are much smaller.

 

The above information is why you may see numerous miniature Boxer dogs advertised on various pet websites and in newspapers and magazines. They do sell for hundreds of dollars and are in demand as a result of the fact that they are linked to the Boxer. However, they are undoubtedly cross breeds and have really ignited passion amongst Boxer enthusiasts who denounce the “breed” and are incredibly angry that the name implies a link to the Boxer. Of course, many also think the breeding practice cruel.

 

In short, although miniature Boxer dogs exist, they are not directly linked to the Boxer breed in any way, shape or form. It is important to make this distinction before considering getting one for your home because you cold end up paying over the odds for a dog that is not what its name implies.
