About the Boxer Dog Breed

The Boxer combines the exceptional hunting, herding and protection instincts of the Mastiff with the Bulldogs' courage, tenacity and exhuberant personality. Originally from Germany, the Boxer is a  popular family dog that was originally imported to North America after World War 1, and can now be found in homes all over the world. These sturdy, medium-sized dogs stand 25 inches or less at the shoulder. Boxer dogs  have a short, tight-fitting coat that can be fawn or brindle with white markings and is easily groomed - a weekly rub-down and brushing does the trick nicely. Boxers make exceptional family pets. Boxers are intelligent, fun, loyal and they are very patient with children. Early obedience training is recommended to help the boxer reach it's full potential as a cherished family member. Boxers require plenty of daily outdoor exercise. Boxers can adapt to apartment living provided that adequate exercise is provided.
