Learn About Boxers

Learn About Boxer Dogs Boxers comprise a breed of dogs belonging to the molosser group, which originated in Germany in the 1850s. They were initially bred from relatives of mastiffs and Old English bulldogs. The boxer breed is so named because of their tendency to stand on their hind legs and make boxing motions with their front legs in play; their name comes from the German verb boxen, meaning the same as does the similar English verb "to box." Boxers were initially used to bait bulls and to work as guard dogs, and were one of the first dog breeds to be used as police and military dogs in Germany. They were introduced to other countries in Europe than Germany as working dogs in the late 1800s. Boxers came into popular usage in war during World War I, in which they often served as guard dogs, attack dogs, and messengers. They were put to work similarly during World War II, after which many soldiers took them home, beginning their rise in popularity as pets. Boxers are compact mastiff type dogs with tall and thin but muscular builds, and powerful frontquarters. On average, boxers weigh 66-70 pounds and measure 21-25 inches in height, with female boxers' generally being smaller than their male counterparts. Naturally, most boxers have floppy ears and long, slender tails; however, the breed has traditionally been cropped and docked, and many boxers still are today. The boxer's head is distinctive in appearance, featuring a short, broad skull; a short, square muzzle; folds extending from the base of its nose down its muzzle; strong teeth; and a sturdy jaw. Boxers also have slight underbites, which allow their strong lower teeth and powerful jaws to protect their upper teeth. Boxers are normally fawn or brindle in color. Almost all boxers have black masks, and may or may not have white flashing. About a quarter of all boxers are predominantly white in color. Boxers' coats are short, shiny, and smooth, and fit them tightly. Boxers are playful, inquisitive, devoted, and outgoing. Having an amiable temperament and being strong and energetic, they tend to make great active family dogs. Boxers can be stubborn, but value companionship and generally want to please. Though they are generally friendly, they can be aggressive toward strange dogs, particularly if they are large in size; however, boxers generally get along well with other family pets. Boxers are not reputed as high-maintenance dogs, but, like all breeds, they have some specific needs. Being very active and animated dogs, boxers require daily exercise and mental stimulation. However, one must be careful not to over-exercise boxers in hot weather or excessive humidity, as they do not tolerate such conditions well. They require little maintenance when it comes to their coats, needing only occasional grooming to remove dead hair. The lifespan of an average boxer is 8-10 years.
