why are you going to breed off one of the above 3 breeds without knowledge of the bloodlines behind them?

especialy when there are other hidden genetic problems such as epilepsy

I'm not looking to breed. I would just like to know what my boxer cross has in him.

Also I didn't state any breeds at all?
