I don't know what breeders are looking for in the cross. Scout is funny in that she seems to have a poodle's hunting instinct. She'll follow a bird, rabbit, or squirrel until she comes to water. Then her boxer heritage asserts itself and she won't go any further.

She looks like neither breed and is difficult to fit for harnesses and collars, as she is narrow but her chest is deep. I see the boxer in her tail and her head in that her eyes are set more forward facing like a boxer's. She definitely has a boxer tongue and uses it excessively like a boxer! She also has a brindle stripe that is hard to see, and she uses her paws like a boxer. I don't know about poodle's personalities, but Scout has the playfulness, sweetness, joy, and sense of humor that I saw in my boxers.

Comment by Sue & the Crew on November 21, 2010 at 1:43pm: Eliz, was the boxer-doodle a "mistake" or a purposeful breeding? Such a strange mix (but certainly adorable Scout). I'm glad YOU (Eliz) rescued them and that nice people like Kary opened their homes to them.

Comment by Elizabeth Gunn on November 21, 2010 at 1:40pm: I had a HUGE Doodle rescue named Misty that ate a whole filet, skewer and all, off the counter flat-footed! I freaked out - now I don't get so worried, my dogs have eaten all sorts of stuff off the counters - most of mine are too big to even push the stuff far enough back to keep them out of it. I usually have to put stuff in the microwave or the oven to keep it safe....then I find it days later! ick!
