i was walking chloe the other day and a man is coming towards us with what looks like a boxer but not quite, chloe is all excited so of course they have to meet. i ask him what else besides boxer is in his dog and he says this is a valley dog, i said okay what is a valley dog, he says its an american bulldog and boxer mix. well in my book its a mutt!!!! :LOL: it was so cute and cuddly he was fawn and white and a big mush. we talked for about five minutes and i was asked if i was interested in one i said no thank you, what is should have said was no thanks if i want to get a mixed breed i will go to the local shelter and adopt one. well another one for the books dont get me wrong i love mixed breeds one of the best dogs we had was a mixture of shepard,beagle and basset he was great. but i dont think they should be mated on purpose to make money off of a breed that doesnt exist, there are way too many of these poor dogs waiting for homes as it is and if he had went on an adoption hunt he would have found quite a few boxer/american bulldogs in shelters already but then again they dont have a name like vallley dog.

if interested i also posted new pics of chloe in my gallery.

Interesting. Valley dog, haven't heard that one. It is a shame when people just decide on their own to cross breed and make up their own "breed". They have no idea if the two breeds are even compatible genetically. They could come out with some very serious health issues among other problems. Sad. :(

There is indeed a Valley Dog:

Description:
The Valley Bulldog is derived from the Boxer and the English Bulldog. As a result of this combination, this dog possesses a large head, wide chest, facial wrinkles and loose skin, while keeping a stocky, very muscular, athletic body. The wide upper body displays good muscle tone, narrowing slightly towards the back end, although the buttocks and hips still show strong muscle definition. The head is blocky with muzzle length ranging from 1 - 2 inches. Lower jaw should be undershot. Facial wrinkles should be obvious from forehead to the nose, and loose skin should be found under the chin; these qualities should remain throughout adulthood. Excess skin wrinkles on the body as puppies normally extend to a tight, healthy body covering. While a proud stance is given with the wide chest, legs should not be bowed, but firm and straight. This is a healthy, athletic, low-maintenance bulldog with the look that few can resist. The breed is rapidly gaining popularity and recognition.
Valley Bulldogs adapt well in any environment. They are easily house trained and make excellent house pets. With proper shelter they are fine in hot/humid weather. With adequately-heated shelter they do well in cold climates. These dogs prefer running & playing outside, regardless of temperature.

History/Origin:
The origin of the Valley Bulldog can be traced back as early as the 1950's in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, Canada. However, it is uncertain whether or not the breed existed in the area even earlier. The Valley Bulldog derives from the English Bulldog and the Boxer.

Height: Males: 15 - 22 inches, Females: 14 - 20 inches

Weight: Males: 50 - 80 lbs, Females: 40 - 65 lbs

Colors:
Any color. Common: Fawn, brindle, solid white, white w/fawn or brindle

Coat:
Short, smooth

Temperament:
Very playful, almost clown-like, up to age 1-yr. Adults ? while still very athletic, maintain a calm, laid-back, loving and devoted demeanor. If raised indoors, Valley Bulldogs tend to be more protective. These dogs thrive on human touch. They are happiest when in the presence of their families, and are natural guardians of children. Easily trained, they adapt well to indoor and outdoor environments and are non-aggressive. Love and attention is a must. Depression is possible if neglected of constant human contact.

Care and Exercise:
These dogs are meticulously clean by nature and require very little maintenance. Water preference varies, but they generally love bath time, as this promotes quality time with the owner. The Valley Bulldog requires exercise to maintain muscle tone and all-around good health. If living outdoors with running room, adequate exercise should be no problem. Indoor living would require long walks and frequent periods of play time.

Health Issues:
As with many breeds, the Valley Bulldog does not escape the possibility of skin allergies, most commonly associated with yeast. Proper diet (discussed with your veterinarian) is a must. Rarely, skin growths/tumors occur.

That is so funny - we had one in our old neighborhood too (in Alabama). You could definitely see the mix in him. This one was all brindle but had a great smushed bulldog face and his bottom teeth stuck out of it's mouth all the time which use to make me laugh so hard. I did look up the breed after they told me what it was and found the exact same info. I didn't know so many different bulldog breeds existed.

Oh, isn't Fiona cute! I did a lot of reading on them, they sound like very good dogs. The looks of this breed can differ a lot. Fiona looks a lot like a boxer but with bulldog eyes and kind of a bulldog shaped face. I saw some that are really short-legged like bulldogs with boxer ears and eyes and bulldog mouth with the teeth jutting out. Sounds like it is a good temperment breed too. Not a ton of health problems either so that good also.

Fiona is VERY cute!! I see her and think maybe Layla is a "valley dog' they said she was a mix at the shelter but the vet said boxer...take a look at her pics and tell me what you guys think.
I think it is funny when you see people selling "purebred mixes" Like a purebred cockapoo and all those other hybrid dogs. Now don't get me wrong I think they are cute and have nothing against them, but they are still a mutt.

I've read in several places that the AMERICAN Bulldog & Boxer mix (or Staffordshire Terrier & Boxer mix) is referred to as a "Bull Boxer" and the ENGLISH Bulldog & Boxer is a "Valley Bulldog." Both "breeds" are actually in Wikipedia. How funny! What will they think of next?
