Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low to high

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

High

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

High

The Boxer rates high and the English Bulldog moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Moderate

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Boxer is usually described as bright, fun-loving, active. The English Bulldog as friendly, courageous, calm. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
