Question

the two puppies we paid $900 for a purebred boxer. We have no intentions of giving him back, we love him, But we don't think he is a purebred. Does not have the square boxer head, also longer softer coat unlike most boxers. Breeder said we would get papers when we have him neutered. We paid for a purebred, just kinda bugging us, is he a purebred???Are there purebred boxers with these features?? We may be wrong? The puppy in the picture is the one were questioning. The other older boxer came from a different breeder. Thanks

Answer
Nothing in the picture screams "mixed breed" to me. Puppies often have longer, softer coats; these generally change as they mature to the short, tight coat of an adult. Heads also go through a lot of changes from puppyhood to maturity. As well, if the breeder is not paying strict attention to the standard, the head can revert more toward a 'wild-type' (wolfish, as far as shape goes - narrower, rounded head; narrow, longer muzzle).

Enjoy your puppy!
