The Boxer is a German breed, descended from the Bullenbeisser and thought to have been crossed with the Bulldog. The Royal Kennel Club sums it up as "lively, strong and family-orientated", and says it is "much loved as a family companion for his intelligence and character". The same page notes the breed is an excellent guard dog and has worked as a tracking dog and in the armed forces.
As of 8 November 2026, 4 Boxers are listed with rescues in and around Blackpool on LocalPetFinder: by their listed age, 2 adults and 2 aged 7 or over.
3 of them are listed as a cross, as the rescue describes it: Boxer Cross (3). Breed labels on rescue listings are often a best guess from looks.
The rescues mark 1 as able to live with children and 1 with other dogs. Where a profile says nothing, it doesn't mean no: ask the rescue.

More than two hours a day, according to The Royal Kennel Club. It lists the Boxer as a large breed best suited to a large house with a large garden. Dogs Trust says Boxers are at higher risk of heat stroke, so take care with exercise on warm days.
The Royal Kennel Club describes the Boxer as "much loved as a family companion", but every rescue dog is an individual. Ask the rescue whether this dog has lived with children and what kind of home they think suits it; their assessment matters more than the breed.
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 1 of the 4 Boxers listed in and around Blackpool as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
The Boxers listed in and around Blackpool today are with Homeless Hounds in Blackpool (2), Wolfwood at Ellel, about 16 miles away (1) and Carla Lane Animals in Need at Melling, about 23 miles away (1); each profile shows that rescue's fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Boxer on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 4 Boxers listed in and around Blackpool today are with Homeless Hounds in Blackpool (2), Wolfwood at Ellel, about 16 miles away (1) and Carla Lane Animals in Need at Melling, about 23 miles away (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. If you searched "boxer puppies for sale Blackpool", the Boxers here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 4 Boxers listed in and around Blackpool today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Homeless Hounds in Blackpool. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
Not right now: none of the 4 listed in and around Blackpool is under a year old by its listed age. Puppies do get listed, so check back or look at the adults, whose rescues can tell you much more about their character.
