BOXER DOGS:
Muscular, deep chested, energetic, silly but loyal and, friendly describes the Boxer dog!
Boxer dogs are in the top 10 most popular family dog breeds to own!
The Boxer dogs were imported to the USA after World War 1 and it wasn’t until the 1940s that they became one of the most popular family dog breeds!
Boxers originated in Germany in the 19th centrury where they are descendants of the extinct bullenbaiser breeds crossed with mastiffs, bulldogs and possibly great danes and even some terriers. They were originally used as bull bating dogs, however their will to fight wasn’t enough for the ring and they later became known as butchers helpers and controlled slaughterhouse cattle in Germany.
Boxers are a HIGH ENERGY DOG!
The Boxer dogs are a large breed in the “Working dog breed group” and weight 50 to 80 lbs. They were first used as police dogs in America and later became more popular to use as family guard dogs since they are intimidating but have a reputation of being friendly and good with kids unlike other mastiff and bully breeds. Another factor that made them unfit for police work is their brachecephalic or squished face causing them to have difficulty breathing in heat or working for long periods of time. They need a cool environment or an AC house to be comfortable.
The boxer dog has a distinct square strong build and chiseled elegant head. They come in 2 show colors which are the Classic Fawn and Brindle boxers which can have sparse white markings that appear on the face where white may replace part of the otherwise essential black mask and may extend in an upward path between the eyes, but it must not be excessive so as to distract from the true boxer expression.
Boxers however do come in a wide variety of other colors that are not show quality such as seal brindle, reverse brindle, flashy brindle with more white, and mis-marked or party colored.
Boxer dogs are usually super friendly, happy go lucky dogs that love giving kisses, however they are not clean dogs. They do have a sleek short hair coat that does shed excessively. They also have floopy lips that slobber a lot! You may come across a few that slobber less than others but it’s a gamble who will slobber more when getting a puppy! Just expect them all to give lots of Slobbery kisses if you get one!
As for barking, your boxer dog is not an excessive barker and should only bark if there is an intruder around.
Over all, Boxers are very affectionate and smart dogs that love companionship and cuddles on the cough. They are a needy large breed dog that is not independent. They are easy to train and most people who have boxer dogs absolutely love them!
Their lifespan is 8 to 10 years and they do have a list of health issues, which I’ve made another video about on my channel!
Alright guys! I hope you loved this video on Boxer dogs!
