LOL Anyone crossing these breeds is likely to be charging the price of a pedigree pup anyway. I know someone who paid more for a Mastiff x Rottweiler than I paid for my pedigree show dog :rolleyes:
Temperament could be a bit of a gamble too and I can't imagine mixing the Bouncyness and energy of a good Boxer with the size and weight of a Dougue
Perrodeagua is right, you could get a lovely pup/young adult from breed rescue :)

i think you have been well advised to go to boxer rescue,as this would be the more responsible course of action for you to take already owing two boxers ,you do not say what sex your two are as this would help in people giving you advice.i know we do at the moment have 7 bordeaux males in rescue ,all adults which in my opinion would not be suitable to join a family with other adult dogs,bordeaux males can be very dominant. crosses such as you have mentioned are still being sold at silly prices of 4-600.00 and you could most probally if having the funds mentioned buy a k.c reg boxer,for this (not sure how much boxers pups are?)please dont give breeders of such crosses more incentive to breed more pups ,as the number of cross bordeauxs are definetly on the increase and i know in the future we will see more and more coming into rescue.if you love the breed (bordeaux) and still would like to purchase a pup why not save and buy your self a puppy that can grow up with your boxers,which when having adults dogs of any breed is the best course of action to take,taking any breed on as a adult can come with many difficultys not knowing there backgrounds.
Also with HD and some of the other problems in the other breeds who would want to mix such breeds? Sorry, but if you can't afford the full amount of a Dogue, I'm sure that they've got a breed rescue why don't you try contacting it and see if you are suitable and if they have anything suitable for you.
