Summary The Boxer has a square-built, muscular physique with a very sleek and shiny tight coat. This is a powerful and very sturdy breed, with a wide muzzle and a very intelligent and watchful expression. The coat of the boxer can come in a selection of variations: white, fawn, brindle or red with white markings. This dog has very dark eyes and an upturned lower jaw. The tail of the Boxer is usually docked, and the ears triangular and erect. This breed boasts a proud and confident appearance. This breed is very energetic and playful, with a friendly and cheerful disposition. Although the Boxer can be willful at times, he is generally a very happy, keen and alert dog with a high level of intelligence and an eagerness to learn and to please. This breed is very protective and will guard the family well, but at the same time he is not an aggressive dog and is known to get along with children and other household pets when properly socialized. The Boxer is a pleasant combination of playfulness, alertness, loyalty, affection, intelligence and amiability.

Details What we know of as the Boxer today can be traced to the 1830s when a breeder crossbred the Brabanter Bullenbeiszer with the English Bulldog, but the Boxer dog breed history really begins in the 1860s as breeders began to establish and develop guidelines for the breed. In 1895 the Boxer Club was formally formed and further improvements were made to the standards of the Boxer dog breed. Although initially the Boxer dog breed was generally white, by 1925 white was not accepted as a proper color for the breed. In fact, the color of choice now is fawn and brindle and any dog with more than a third of its coat white will be disqualified in AKC events

Notes The Boxer dog breed came to the United States around the beginning of the 1900s but did not become a popular dog breed until the 1940s. The breed was first registered by the American Kennel Club in 1904 and the first Boxer Champion was recognized in 1915. In 1949 a famous Boxer dog, Bang Away, won Best in Show at the Westminster and went on to win 121 more Best in Shows over the course of six years. Bang Away became a famous dog, appearing on the front of magazine such as Life and Esquire. Due to the success of this one dog, the Boxer dog breed became very popular in the United States at the time and continues to be one of the 10 most popular breeds as determined by the American Kennel Club.
