Have you looked at her in bright sunlight, against the grain of her
fur (e.g. from behind)? You ought to see faint brindle marks. There
is no such thing as a true black Boxer. They are all reverse
brindle, though it can be really hard to see.
If there is no hint of brindle pattern, then she's a mix.
All that said, how old is she? Her coat color could possibly change
a bit, if she's a baby. Hopefully, you'll be able to get a good look
at her when her puppy coat is gone (assuming she's still sporting
it).
