Pounds. The dark band is where most Boxer French Bulldog Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 16–19 inches at the shoulder, against 21.5–25 in for the Boxer and 11–13 in for the French Bulldog. The parents differ a lot in size, so litters vary more than usual. Breeders normally use the larger breed as the mother to keep whelping safe.

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

Low to high

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability

High

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

Grooming

Low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

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