Boxer Dog Breed
Germany
Nowadays, Boxer is raised as a house dog. It is commonly inferior to the Alsatian as a work dog. The boxer is friendly, a children lover and more playful than it may suggests its sad look; its popularity is well deserved.
In addition, the Boxer has a lot in common with the English Bulldog. In the ancient Greece, prey breeds were used as fighting dogs, but until well into the Middle Ages, dogs were not trained to be dedicated to the hunting high, and, eventually, they were used as Shepherd dogs. By the end of the 19th Century, the Boxer evolved to become a type that may be clearly distinguished from the bulldog. The Boxer name derivation is uncertain, but it is loosely based on Boxing itself.
The German Boxer has to be a muscled, noble animal, with a good background. The form of the head constitutes its most important trait: the snout has to be well developed, wide and square, with the lower jaw slightly out. The coat has to be short and shiny.
Its color must be multicolored, red, or wine, with a dark mark around their eyes and snout. Its height at withers is from 57 to 63 cm in male dogs, and from 53 to 59 in female dogs.
