All I see is boxer. I don't know a lot about Boxer comformation, but I've seen a lot of rangy looking Boxers. Pit bulls can be very rangy in their appearance also. They all generally look the same, but some can be short and stocky, some leggy, some have shorter noses and others have longer skinnier noses.
Bullygirl,
With so many unwanted pets, purebred and mixed breed, young and old, dying in shelters by the millions every year in this country alone, why would you want to create more? A Bullboxer is just a mutt no matter what name is given to it. Just like Cockerpoos who are gaining recognition with the CKC. You can mix a Poodle and Cocker and get Cockerpoos once, but what are their offspring going to be? Same with Bullboxers? They may be cute, but what is the point in mixing the two to create a mutt, when there are plenty of homeless mutts with uncertain fates, including Pit Bull/Boxer mixes. Pit Bulls have a bad name that make it really hard to place into GOOD homes. What are you going to do if she has a litter of 13 pups that she doesn't want to take care of? And if you can't find homes for all of them? What if the pups end up in shelters because the homes weren't really good? How will you register these pups? There are a lot of shelters in this country that will not adopt out Pit Bulls and Pit mixes no matter what. Please do more homework on breeding. For each one of the puppies you may sell or place an equal number of puppies or dogs will die in a shelter because no one wanted them. Breeding is done to better the breed, not make money or create mutts with uncertain health problems or temperament problems. While Pit Bulls and Boxers are great dogs they both have their short comings also and you never know what you are getting when you mix the two. Will they have the best of both breeds or will they inherit the worst of both breeds?
I'm sorry if I got on my soap box, but too many people are breeding and not taking it seriously enough. Please leave the breeding to the experts.
Please look at these links and the links within the pages before you breed.

I agree with this completely. There are TOO many dogs in the world and not enough owners. Bullygirl, take a trip to the local animal control or shelter, and watch the dogs be euthanized ... you'll change your mind about breeding.
I would say the dog in question is a purebred boxer. Some have longer noses than others. I board a purebred boxer that could be a twin of yours.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
