Welcome to our new member of staff.
Fred The Boxer / Staff Cross Puppy - Bullboxer
We all started work this morning at 6am, as usual, but from 2pm onwards, there wasn’t a stroke of work carried out, not by anybody in the office! Why, because of the arrival of our new puppy! Fred, (yes, that’s his name), is a bullboxer; a cross between a boxer and a staffordshire bull terrier. He is pure white with a ginger spot on one eye and he’s a little darling!
The girls, Dave and Shug, (our other two dogs), have been bullying him, but I’m sure that will stop, as within 4 months, he’ll be bigger and stronger than both of them, as a bullboxer can grow to be 120 pounds!
Peggy and Dolly’s bums have hardly touched their office seats today and Kai, Ally and myself have been in and out of the offices to follow shouts of “Look what he’s doing now!”
Anyway, I better actually get some work done today - Myself, Kai and Ally will be here until 10pm this evening if anyone needs us! (inbetween making sure wee Fred is okay!)

Hello Ben, we already had two other rescue dogs and we registered our interest in another with The Dog Trust. We explained that we were looking for a medium sized cross terrier puppy, with a preference for a staff cross and were willing to wait for it. We also said we would be interested in a staff cross under a year old. As they find staffies more difficult to foster than most other breeds of dogs, they are happy to call you if something comes in. They contacted us a couple of times about thoroughbred staffordshire bull terriers that were a couple of years old, neither of which got on with our dogs and then they called to say they had imported Bullboxer puppies from Ireland, about four months after we registered our interest, we saw them and instantly fell in love with the wee man. He has turned into the most loving, obedient, fun loving dog we ever known and I would thoroughly recommend a bullboxer to anyone. He does have a lot of energy though, so if you don’t like long walks, a bullboxer is not for you! I can take him on a three mile run and by the time I can hardly walk, he’s ready for another three miles! I’ll look out some piccies and add them to the blog in the next few days, so you can see what a handsome boy he has turned into. Good luck in sourcing a bullboxer, but I know several friends with staff crosses and they make wonderful pets. A guy that goes to the same dog trainer as myself got a bullboxer and a labraboxer from this site, and I note there are a few available at the moment on the site, dotted about the country. Good luck in finding a dog and please let me know if you do find one.

I was lucky to get a 4 year old bullboxer the other day. She was free on gumtree and I’m happy with her, although she is a bit lead pully at times; but all is well, I got What I wanted. My circumstances have changed and I may have to find another home for her, but I hope I can work something out.

It good to hear you have found a bullboxer Ben, I hope the circumstances are happy one and that you work something out. With reference to the pulling, Fred was exactly the same, but we now use a HALTI headcollar and he walks to heel perfectly now. They are about six quid and you can get them at most pet stores or online, all over the web, even on ebay.

I have a staff/boxer bitch and i’m just wondering what size she will get to? Staff size or boxer size?

I don’t claim to be an expert on Bullboxers Hannah, but our Fred’s mother was a boxer and his father was a staff and at 1 year, (it was his birthday four days ago), he’s 27 inches to the top of his head and has the body of a strong looking boxer. A friend at the training class has a bullboxer that the staff was the mother and the boxer was the father and she’s about four to five inches smaller than Fred and has a much rounder body. I suppose it also depends on the size of the parents as well, but I hope that gives you some kind of indication of the size your bullboxer baby will be in the future.

Fred is so cute. I have a staff cross boxer called Harvey he’s only 5months old but growing quickly. We were a bit concerened about the staff in him with my son but they are like best friends.

I love this dog too. How old is it, and how much did it cost you?

The pic of Fred that you see above was taken when he was 9 weeks old. He’s now comin up 14 months and he’s a big boy now! I’ve been threatening to get some pics out and post an update on the blog for some time, so I’ll get my finger out and do it in the next few days.
Fred was a rescue dog and we got him through the dog’s trust. We registered with them and asked us to contact us when they had any staffie crosses in, our preferences being a Bullboxer or a Boxador. Several months later they called to say they had 5 bullboxer puppies coming in from Ireland, we went to see him and booked him straight away.
I think that he cost us £75 to “adopt” him, but they chipped him, had him fully checked by a vet and gave us a voucher to have him neutered, which would have cost £100, so it didn’t cost us anything in the end. Check out the dogs trust, they do a fabulous job www.dogstrust.org.uk

No I’m afraid he’s not for sale, although I could have sold him about fifty times since I put this article up. This pic was taken a year ago and he’s a big boy now. If you want to see how he turned out, visit http://www.kenkai.com/seo-blog-article-138.htm

The Big Man: No Lizzy, no amount of money would tempt us to part with him. He’s my wee boy - although not so wee anymore! I should really put up more recent pictures of him. When I do, I’ll drop you an email. Be well.
