I have been emailed a question about miniature boxer puppies asking if miniature boxer puppies are really boxers.

Although miniature boxer puppies might look identical to a regular boxer, they are not really boxers. Usually when you try to find a breeder for a miniature boxer puppy, you will find someone who will breed a male pug and a female toy fox terrier. It is a fairly new breed of dogs. Breeders only started breeding these miniature boxer puppies for about five years.

Miniature boxers grow up to be about 1/4^th smaller than actual boxers. Miniature boxer puppies only grow up to be around 11-13 inches at shoulder height. They also end up weighing at around 12-18 pounds.

Another dog breed that resemble boxers a lot are Boston terriers. They have similar physical features and similar personalities. Even though they may look like boxers and act like boxers, they grow up to be smaller than actual boxers. So some people consider Boston terriers as miniature boxers as well.
