What combination of Boxer and GSD should I get?

Don't try to breed some mutt puppies with them. I think the male should be the GSD since they are sweeter and the female GSDs are very dominant. You'd be better off with a female boxer.

I dont suggest getting them at the same time. Get the GSD first and please be realistic with your time management and all. Not just because you want 2 dogs at once.

GSDs need up to 4-5 hours of exercise once they are about 1.5 years old, they need loads of mental stimulation as they are the number 3 in the most intelligent breeds. The basics arent gonna cut it for this dog. You'll need to look into advanced obedience. The GSD also needs a job. Such as bringing you slippers or fetching you water from a cooler it can reach. Better yet, agility or frisbee. Something to challenge it.

Get the GSD first and then introduce a boxer by the shepherd's 1 year of age or a bit older even. That way you can focus on each puppy individually and can give your GSD the attention it needs and then focus on your boxer puppy when you get it.

2 puppies at once, especially when 1 of them is high energy, is very difficult and taxing. You'll need to dedicate a good portion of your time to them. So please reconsider if you're still in school or are worknig long hours. A bored dog is a destructive dog.

And there may be dominance issues between them, and you will have to establish yourself as the alpha. If you don't have the time to do this the dogs will resort to biting each other, others, or even you. An aggressive, big, dog is a problem.

Don't get 2 puppies and then give them away when you realize you can't handle them. Don't forget that pups need to be walked frequently as well. once every hour, once every 2-3 hours, once every 4-5 hours, and of course when they get older its simpler, which is actually why you might consider getting adult dogs from a local rescue. If you want purebreds you can search around, or 1 state over.

For example, I live in staten island, ny but I drove over to NJ to get to a german shepherd rescue - http://www.gsroc.org/2013/adoption.gsr

And boxers are fairly common to find even in plain shelters around you.

So adult dogs will be simpler plus they may come trained and socialized so you dont need to worry about it. Plus, if you do decide to adopt adult dogs, it doesnt matter which one is male or female since they will be socialized and you can ask the shelter, or rescue, about how they do with the other gender.

Good luck and please consider the dogs before and above your own wants.

I am not exactly sure what you are meaning. Do you mean which family pet should you get first out of the breed?

If so, both can be challenging. Boxers and GSDs need a lot of exercise daily. I have heard both are fairly easy to train and generally good natured. If you spay/neuter your dogs, it doesn't matter what sex the dogs are. Personally, I have a boy and girl, but any combination works.

I have experience with both breeds and both experiences have been wonderful. I have no favorite.

Choose whatever works for you. However, expect to pay over $800 for a good quality AKC registered Boxer or GSD. Or you can adopt, there are plenty of these breeds (or mixes) in shelters. Plus high quality dog food every month will be at least $100 a month or more - a 28lb bag of Orijen will run you $80-90.

Honestly it's up to you. I haven't really noticed much in difference between temperaments of males/females and introducing them to one another. It's really more based on the dog's personality, not the sex. Just go with whichever you prefer. I mean, if you want two males then that'd be just as fine as two females, or one female and one male of either breed.

I assume that's what you meant- you don't plan to breed them, do you? (Since you mentioned you're having them neutered asap). I would recommend against this, either way.

Never try to raise two puppies at once. Get a female first as she's going to be the boss between the two. Housebreak her. Train her to sit, down, stand, stay, come, leave it, drop it, take it, go to your mat, fetch, heel, and walk on a loose lead -- at the least – and be very reliable on all. Here are two great trainers with many videos to help you:

New dogs to the house learn from older ones already there, so if she is very well behaved it will help you with your next dog. When she is very well trained, then consider getting a second dog. Remember that two dogs together are more work than two individually, as you need to monitor interactions between the two. So do it one at a time.

You mean there is more then one combination of the two dogs.

1)boxer + 1) GSD = Mutt, no matter what way you look at it.

Or do you plan on getting the two breeds and mate them for the purpose of creating mutt puppies.

NO DON'T,
