"Paddy the Boxador at 14 months old—his mother was a Boxer and his father was Labrador. I have had him for about 9 months now and he was mistreated for the first 4 or 5 months of his life. He was stuck in the kitchen or the back garden if he was too much to handle, which he was. He was lucky if he had 1 walk a night. He never saw another dog till I got him and took him down the park (HEAVEN). He was also given adult food every day, and that has left him with a sensitive tummy. He is very clever, learns tricks with only a few attempts. He has calmed down loads since I got him. He loves his walks, which he has at least 3 a day. We live near the sea and he loves it when the tide is out. He loves to play football and he is too good for any of us. He also likes the woods and the park at the end of the road. I have videos on YOUTUBE of him being Paddy. The whole family loves him to bits and he is the pride of the family. He loves sausages, plain whole chicken, rice, pasta, peas, also he loves fresh cod and salmon, turkey, beef, pork, rabbits—any meat."

"This is Chopper, a 20-month-old Boxer / Labrador cross. He is at my feet and his nose is in what I am doing ALL the time. He is one wonderful guy! He is the most time-consuming dog I've ever had. Everything is play to him and I spend a lot of time "putting things away." He insists on sleeping where I am, even on a lounge chair. He is smart, athletic, loyal and a great buddy. Loves to ride, chase the goat and fetch the chickens. He definitely got the best of both breeds. In this picture he was waiting for my next move; he doesn't leave my sight."
"This is Bailey, a Boxador or Boxer / Lab mix, at 1 year old. We recently adopted Bailey from a local shelter and have learned that we are her 4th home in one year. She is very playful and full of energy. She is very smart and is quick to learn new tricks that we teach her or that she teaches herself. We take her to a local dog park on a daily basis (sometimes twice a day) where she can run "free" and socialize with other dogs. On days that we are not able to get her to the dog park for exercise she tends to get destructive. We think that the previous owners were not giving her the amount of exercise that she needed. Because she loves to run and jump we are thinking of training her to be a flyball dog, once the basic manners have been mastered. She is very playful and shows no aggression toward other dogs or people, however she has a fascination with squirrels and cats and will chase them if given the opportunity. She has some manner issues that we think are due to being in so many homes in a short amount of time and a lack of consistency with training. We are currently working on the basics with her such as come, stay, off etc. No matter where we take her, people always stop and ask us what kind of dog she is and say how beautiful she is. Bailey is a wonderful playful dog that my fiancé and I are proud to show off and call our "baby".”

Guinness the Boxador at 2 years old—"I have had Guinness ever since he was 5-weeks-old. I know most experts frown upon taking a dog away from its mom that young. Guinness is a wonderful, fun-loving boy, who is FULL of energy. He is great with other dogs as well as people. He goes to doggie daycare 3 days a week and I am constantly being asked by the other pet parents for tips on how to get their dogs to be as well behaved as Guinness, which makes me feel great. I own several of Cesar Millan's books, which is like a bible for me. How to raise the perfect dog from puppyhood and beyond established a foundation for myself and Guinness that I have been able to build on 2 years later. Due to the tips from Cesar's books, I have a dog that goes everywhere with me, from restaurants, to the grocery store, to parks and even the carwash. He is currently being service dog certified, which is a big accomplishment for him."
"This is my Lab / Boxer, Durango. He is 3 and a half years old. He's a very friendly dog, but likes to hide behind mommy and daddy when around strangers or if he hears strange alarming noises."
"He is very smart. Each time he gets a new toy, it gets a name. He only needs to hear it 2 or 3 times, then has it memorized. If we tell him to go get one, he does. He knows so many words, such as: ride, food, potty, grandma, potato chips, eat…and so many more. We've had to start spelling some words, and he's picked up on that as well."
"He loves to play fetch and Frisbee. I swear he's part Energizer bunny, he never stops. There are times when he seems too clingy and has separation anxiety issues. He doesn't destroy things, but carries on in a way which you wouldn't expect from a dog his size. He whines and howls in a desperate manner. Since we now live in a town, we try to play with him in the house as much as we can, or throw the Frisbee in the backyard as often as possible. He loves when we visit home where he can have all the free running and playing with a dog friend of his."
