Female Boxers, and any female Mastiff breed, can be very dominant, so if he wants to be a dominant dog, best to screen very carefully. I had problems with my former Boxer wanting to establish dominance over other dogs, like my tenants' female pitbull, who was not having it. I still have a scar on my hand from that one. The Boxer pwnd the pit btw. Fast, before either of us even had time to run over and pull them apart! If you do get a Boxer, I think you should get one that is MUCH younger than your Rottie so that the primary relationship is old dog-young dog, whcih is less likely to lead to territory disputes.

I really like ABs, and all other types of bulldogs. My favorite is Olde English. They are calm when they are indoors, and great with kids.
My previous tenants had an AmStaff who was SUPER submissive and really really smart and wanted to please the people. I called him Employee of the Month. He's a nice boy and played gently with everyone! His best friend is a miniature Schnauzer who thinks she is 100 pounds of fierce! (The pink ribbon keeping her fur out of her eyes says otherwise).
