This big cutie is a Rottador. She’s a mix between a Labrador Retriever and a German Rottweiler. Both of its parent breeds are fiercely loyal and amazing guard dogs, and the Rottador takes on the desirable trait. They have fairly calm and charming personalities, and they are wonderful family dogs. However, like any dog, they need to be raised and trained properly.
If you don’t feel like you’re the best for the job – you can always send them to doggy obedience school and let the trained professionals handle it. These dogs have a beautiful, silky coat that doesn’t shed as much as some other breeds.
The Docker
Dockers are bred with Dachshunds and Cocker Spaniels. They may be smaller in appearance than some super-sized breeds, but they can still be fierce and they make a great choice for watchdogs. Dockers are known to be sociable dogs, and they make a good addition to a family, even those with small children and other animals. However, since these dogs are bred from hunting dogs, they can have a tendency to chase after small pets like rabbits.
Dockers like to be active, and they make good companions for people who like to do a lot of outdoor activities. These guys are incredibly sweet and will do anything to keep the peace in their household.
The Miniature Boxer
Miniature Boxers that are recognized by the dog registry are a mixture of a Boston Terrier and a purebred Boxer. However, there are some breeders that use other dogs instead of a Boston to achieve the look of a small Boxer, and call it the Mini Boxer, so sometimes they are mixed with Pugs and other similar breeds.
They are excellent guard dogs, as they are particularly loyal. They are also known to have calm personalities, making them wonderful family dogs. Sometimes, these other Mini Boxers that are bred with Pugs are called “Toy Poxers” or “Puggats.”
The Boxador
This breed sounds like the name of some robot that’s trained to scoop kitty poop – and actually, it can sort of be one of those things. Boxadors are a mix of Boxers and Labrador Retrievers, both of which are super loyal and intelligent breeds. This breed is on the larger side and will need ample space to move around.
They are a bit more low-maintenance than some other breeds, but they do still require a fair amount of exercise. Boxadors have a smooth, short coat that makes them a great choice for anyone that lives in an area where it can get pretty warm. They are also said to make a great watchdog!
The Gollie
The Gollie, or Golden Collie, is a gorgeous mix of a Golden Retriever and a Collie. Both of these breeds are typically very intelligent, so most Gollies are incredibly smart. They are also known to have very laid-back personalities and make wonderful family dogs.
Gollies do tend to have a lot of energy, so they need a lot of exercise and they do best in homes that have a large yard, or somewhere they can roam around. This breed is both loyal and loving, and these guys make an excellent family pet. They would thrive with an active family that can take them on plenty of outings.
