He is extremely alert and will be good with your kids. He is a very playful dog and really not very aggressive, but is extremely loyal. He was a voracious worker in both World Wars.
He was bred to be a working dog and has hunting and fighting in his past.
He hails from the Bulldog and some German Mastiffs. The Boxer is a relatively new breed from the late 19th century. Reverend Phillip Honeywood established a Beagle pack in Essex, England in the 1830s and it is believed that this pack formed the basis for the modern Beagle breed. Elizabeth I referred to the dogs as her singing beagles and often entertained guests at her royal table by letting her Pocket Beagles cavort amid their plates and cups 19th-century sources refer to these breeds interchangeably and it is possible that the two names refer to the same small variety. The larger hounds would run the prey to ground, then the hunters would release the small dogs to continue the chase through underbrush. Small enough to fit in a "pocket" or saddlebag, they rode along on the hunt. Miniature breeds of beagle-type dogs were known from the times of Edward II and Henry VII, who both had packs of Glove Beagles, so named since they were small enough to fit on a glove, and Queen Elizabeth I kept a breed known as a Pocket Beagle, which stood 8 to 9 inches at the shoulder. Since medieval times, the word beagle was used as a generic description for the smaller hounds, though these dogs differed considerably from the modern breed.

We will take a closer look at the history of both parent breeds below. Breeding specific dogs like this has become common in the last twenty years or so even though I am sure that this mixed breed found it’s share of dogs to the shelter due to accidental breeding. All hybrid or designer dogs are tough to get a good read on as there isn’t much history to them.
