About Poppet’s reported breeds
Boxer
Listed as Boxer
The Boxer is a Working Group breed that originated in Germany. Boxers tend to be playful, affectionate and energetic, and they need daily exercise and consistent, positive training. Heart disease and certain cancers are health concerns for the breed, so regular veterinary screening matters.
Labrador Retriever
Listed as Labrador Retriever
The Labrador Retriever is a medium-to-large sporting dog, and the AKC places it in the Sporting Group. Labs tend to be friendly and eager to learn, but many have high energy and need daily exercise and structure. The coat sheds heavily, and weekly brushing helps manage it. The AKC gives a general life expectancy of 11-13 years, and Labradors are prone to weight gain that can worsen joint disease.
A mixed-breed dog may show some or all of the personality traits associated with the breeds listed, in their own combination. The shelter's observations tell you more about this individual dog.
