I am looking at a puppy that looks just like a boxer, but she's pure black---solid.The lady found the female dog abandoned and she was pregnant alreaday, so she doesn't know if the pups are all boxer or mixed.....Thanks for input..

If she found an abandoned pregnant dog, I doubt the pups are purebred. They'll still probably get a lot of the boxer looks from mom though.
As another poster suggested, the pup could be brindle too. Brindle markings usually look black or almost black when they're young (kinda like how siamese cats are born all white). The markings come in later.

Boxers that 'look' black are actually a very dark, heavy brindle, not solid black like a Lab.
If she was abandoned, I doubt they had just had her bred with another Boxer or they wouldn't have abandoned her. And her chances of happening on a male Boxer roaming free is pretty low. She is probably a Lab cross, Labs seem to be specially prolific, Lab crosses are everywhere.

A black Boxer would not be recognized by the AKC, and is likely mixed. If you look closely she may be what they call "reverse brindle." Basically brindle, but more of the dark color with the red mixed in, as opposed to the other way around. Its pretty rare for a boxer to be one solid color in general, so i would say that she is not purebred.

I have seen a few "purebred" black Boxers, but I do not think that it is a registrable color with any registry. But, I have also seen a Lab/Boxer mix that looked just like a boxer, but it was solid black like a lab.

Black boxers do no longer exist – the colour gene to blame for black coat color does no longer exist in the boxer breed (a lot as brindle does no longer exist for labradors, or harlequin for rottweilers). in case you “see” a black boxer, it ought to both be an rather darkish brindle or a blended breed.

It might be a pitbull actually, if its not a dark brindle. My pitbull puppy looked alot like my boxer puppies when they were little.

I really don't know, but purebed or not, it will probably make a nice dog for you.
