I have a puppy that is now 8 weeks old. Her mom is a full blooded lab, and her dad is a full blood boxer. I hope that's all you need to know...because I don't know what else to add. She got big feet and a long tail....

I know a Labrador/Boxer and he is pretty smart! However, he is also a clown and goofy. He loves to make others laugh. He is very brave, and protective of his owners. A very handsome boy, as well!
The more you talk to your dog, the more language he learns..My little mixed breed understands so many words that we have to spell around her..and she has even figured out several of our words when spelled!
Begin, now, teaching him obedience and give him plenty of love and most importantly patience, and you will have a happy and smart dog..
boxers and Labradors can both be trained as service dogs and guide dogs. boxers make good police dogs, and are used for that work in Europe. So, your dog has good foundations..It is up to you to train him, as he isn't smart enough to train himself.
Boxers= Height: Females 21-24 inches (53-61 cm)
Weight: Females 53-65 pounds (24-29 kg.)
Labrador Retriever= Height: Females 21-23 inches (53-58cm.)
Weight: Females 55-70 pounds (25-32kg.)

She will be a large dog, somewhere between the two breeds. She will probably be pretty smart, definitely trainable. And she will be TONS of fun!! Labs and boxers have the goofiest personalities. She is going to be high energy, and need lots of exercise when she gets older. But she will always make you laugh! My friend just got a boxer/lab puppy too. He is about 11 weeks now, and he is growing Fast! He is going to be big, probably the size of a big lab. But she couldn't be happier with her choice. He is almost all the way potty trained, knows how to sit and 'kennel up.' He is such a good puppy. I love him. A Lab/boxer mix is going to be a great companion!! Good Luck, and have fun with your new puppy!!!

She'll grow into the feet, if that tells you anything. With the long tail, she may be taking after the lab, which means she'll average about 60 pounds. We have a lab, and she's about the smartest dog I know. She figured out commands we didn't even know we were giving her--typically said certain thing when getting ready to do something, so she knew exactly what was going to happen, and how she was expected to react. She is blind now, and even though she's an indoor dog, we didn't realize it until the vet told us, because she memorized the house!

Big feet are very common for puppies, She will most likely be bigger then the boxer and smaller then the lab, but probably closer to a lab size.
As for how smart she will be that will depend mostly on having a complete, nutritious diet. Puppies need different food then addults to get their requirements so besure to biy a quality brand puppy food.
And also train her.
DOgs are very very smart but how well t ey preform to people (which is usually how people judge if a dog is smart for some reason, by how well they preform commands) is all based on how well she is trained. Since she is a puppy its the perfect time, you could train her yourself, or take her to puppy school. If she is very well behaved you could even have her as a tharaputic dog, these dogs are taken to hospitals and elderly homes so they have someone to visit with.

Boxer and Lab cross should be about 27 inches or so at the shoulder and weight could be anywhere from 70-100 pounds.
Would depend on which breed she takes after more.
She should be a smart dog as both breeds are great dogs.
She will most likely be a very active dog with a great attitude.
Labs have nice tempermants and good with people and love to fecth and play.
Boxers are busy active dogs that need lots of exercise and they LIVE to play.

Big feet equal big dog. So she will probably get to be a big as the lab, but maybe a little stockier.
Sounds like it will be a pretty smart combo. Labs are incredibly bright.

Well as for size you are looking at a large dog depending on the size of the lab around 75 lbs. And as for smart that is you to you and you alone if you train the dog it will be smart if you dont you will end up with a dog that you will think is dumb. Enrole the dog in a training program and follow thruogh with it you will be happy that you did.

the place did you get this concept from? you quite need to do a little severe examine formerly bringing any canine into your place. First, are you even allowed to have a canine on your apartment? have you ever examine your lease? Are there any weight limits or breed barriers. next, heavily, do you have the time? the two massive and small canine choose usual each and daily workout and socialization. finally, purely because of the fact a canine is small, does not unavoidably make it a good apartment canine. Many small canine like terriers and hounds, are very intense skill, could be barkers. the place as, there are various tremendous breeds which could do o.k. in an apartment. canine are canine and how clever the canine is and properly and rather this is experienced will remember completely on you and the attempt you place into it. edit: Dr. Coren's e book is a load of bullhockey.

She will probably be at least as big as her mum and probably as big as her dad. I had a boxer x Jack Russell and they were as tall as their dad! (the boxer) as to whether they will be smart, not sure, that would depend on whether she is as bright as her mum (the lab) or not so bright as her dad, my boxer wasn't very intelligent but very loving.
