Boxer Puppy

A Boxer Puppy is but the loveliest and most cheerful creature you can imagine. Adult Boxers retain their vivacity well into age, and they play in a very amusing and fascinating manner. Sometimes they stand on their rear legs and use their front legs as they play with toys – this is where they get their name from. Boxers are protective around their families, but they are not vicious, as some people think. They do look a little tough, as they have inherited much of their physical strength and drive from their Mollosser type ancestor – the Brabanter Bullenbeisser. This dog is now extinct, and it was used for hunting wild boar, hare, rabbit, fox and even ungulates.

The Boxer dog was first shown in 1895, and the first Boxer breed club was formed in 1896. The breed received an official recognition in 1902, and the first breed standard was outlined the same year (it is noteworthy that the modern breed standard is very similar to the first one except for a few minor modifications). The Boxer arrived in the United States in 1903, and the AKC accepted the dog in 1904. In 1915, the first champion Boxer appeared. Today, the Boxer is a very popular breed, and Boxer breeders have to make long waiting lists of those craving for a Boxer Puppy.

Boxers are medium-sized dogs with sleek and short coats. The coat comes in brindle or fawn, with or without white markings. These dogs are very strong, enduring and intelligent. For this reason, they still can be used as service dogs. They have wrinkly muzzles, and their jaws close in a strong scissors bite. The lower jaw slightly protrudes beyond the upper jaw. The ears can be cropped, but this is (as tail docking) prohibited in many countries. The legs are long and powerful, the chest is deep and muscular, and the body should be well balanced. The body formation of Boxer Puppies greatly depends on heritage.

Boxers are excellent companions. They never attack strangers without provocation, but are usually aloof with them. They may not like it when someone approaches the house. Well socialized dogs are usually okay with other pets, and can differentiate between people. These dogs cannot do without physical activity and may become destructive if bored or neglected. Boxers are relatively easy to train, but may be stubborn and willful at times. If you have or are planning to have a Boxer Puppy but lack experience in dog training, please, contact the nearest Boxer breed club and hire a professional Boxer training specialist.
