Information on the Boxweiler

A Boxweiler is a cross between a Boxer and Rottweiler, both of which were bred for the same intentions. Which causes no unstable and differentiating personalities and an expected behavior.
Lets take a look:
Boxer History
Life Span (9-10 yrs)
Coat Type: Short, Shiny, Smooth
Weight: 66-80lbs
These strong and intelligent animals have been used as service dogs, guide dogs for the blind, therapy dogs, police dogs in K-9 units, and occasionally herding cattle or sheep. The versatility of Boxers was recognized early on by the military, which has used them as valuable messenger dogs, pack carriers, and attack and guard dogs in times of war. Developed in Germany in the late 19th century from the now extinct Bullenbeisser, a dog of Mastiff descent, and Bulldogs brought in from Great Britain. The Bullenbeisser had been working as a hunting dog for centuries, employed in the pursuit of bear, wild boar, and deer. Its task was to seize the prey and hold it until the hunters arrived.
Rottweiler History:
Life Span (9-10 yrs)
Coat Type: Double Coated, Short, Hard, and thick
Weight: 77-140lbs
The Rottweiler was employed in its traditional roles until the mid-19th century when railways replaced droving for herding livestock to market. While still used in herding, Rottweilers are now used as search and rescue dogs, as guide dogs for the blind, as guard dogsor police dogs, and in other roles. Breed's history dates to the Roman Empire. It is likely that the Rottweiler is a descendant of ancient Roman drover dogs, a mastiff-type dog that was a dependable, rugged dog with great intelligence and guarding instincts. During their quest to conquer Europe, the Roman legion traveled in large numbers across the continent. The non-existence of refrigeration meant the soldiers had to bring herds of cattle with them on their excursions for food. These drover dogs were not only used to keep the herds of cattle together, but to guard the supply stock at night. Around 74 A.D. the Roman army travelled across the alps and into the southern part of modern day Germany. For the next two centuries the Roman drover dogs were continually utilized in herding and driving cattle for trade even after the Romans were driven out of the area by the Swabians.
