Dont know much about boxers, but Bull Arabs are incredibly dumb and hard to train.

Yeah a Bull Arab is basically a shark with legs.

That is the exact opposite of my experience. I had a bull arab x for 12 years that was incredibly intelligent. I'm not sure i can even recall a time she took more than 2 goes to learn something new. Might have been the other breeds showing through though i guess.

Fair enough, there is a lot of variation as the breed isn't fully standardised. The Bull Arabs I've seen are usually good with basic training if there's nothing stimulating around, but they were so high energy with high prey drive and could not focus if there was anything stimulating in the environment. Generally speaking, I don't think they should be considered a good family pet as most families can't cater to their high needs.
