Boxer Puppy for Sale

If you choose a conscientious and responsible breeder, this will guarantee that you will find a purebred Boxer Puppy for Sale. Do not buy puppies from so called “puppy mills”, who produce scores of dogs with doubtful background, because they pay little attention to their dogs’ health and well-being. These dogs are very intelligent, and therefore relatively easy to train. However, like with any dog breed, it takes a due share of experience and devotion to be a good Boxer owner.

Boxers originated in Germany, as they are known to have sprung from the Bullenbeiszer, an old-time German breed of dogs, which was used in hunting. Today, this dog is extinct. Boxers have also been greatly influenced by the English Bulldog. Like other dogs descending from old Molosser dogs, Boxers feature a prognathous jaw structure – the lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper one. Boxer dogs are medium-sized (wither height averaging 22-25 inches) and short-coated. The coat comes in different shades of fawn and brindle, often with white markings on the chest and belly. The first breed standard for the Boxer was sketched in 1902, and it is much the same today, although a few minor modifications have been made. There are tons on information about the breed’s past and present available online and in other sources, and conscientious breeders who have high quality Boxer Puppies for Sale possess a great deal of knowledge on the breed.

Boxers despite their somewhat menacing countenance are very friendly and cheerful. They are usually protective around their owners and therefore quite suspicious of strangers, but it is not uncommon for them to change opinions about people in the course of time. They are very affectionate and hence they make great playmates for kids. The breed gets its name from its unique manner of playing: they often stand on their hind legs and use their front paws actively when playing with toys, other dogs or people. Puppies are particularly rambunctious, and can be destructive if bored. Breeders who have Boxer Puppies for Sale usually point this out to their prospective clients.

Boxers are susceptible to a number of hereditary diseases, such as cardiomyopathy and aortic stenosis. Not infrequently, they suffer from serious intestinal disorders, such as gastric torsion and dilation. Gastric problems are more likely to develop due to nutritional reasons, but genetic predisposition is also a common factor. If you feel like you have already chosen a good Boxer Puppy for Sale, please, make a thorough study of its pedigree record.
