Boxer Dog Breed Information

Sylvia Zakusilov
Breed: Boxer
Also Called:
Height: The Boxer is about 21-25 inches tall.
Weight: The Boxer weighs between 66-70 lbs.
Colors: The Boxer can be fawn and brindle.
General Appearance: The Boxer is a medium-sized, square built dog of good substance with short back, strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat. His well developed muscles are clean, hard and appear smooth under taut skin. His movements denote energy. The gait is firm, yet elastic, the stride free and ground-covering, the carriage proud. Developed to serve as guard, working and companion dog, he combines strength and agility with elegance and style. His expression is alert and temperament steadfast and tractable.
Temperment: The Boxer is instinctively a "hearing" guard dog, his bearing is alert, dignified and self-assured. In the show ring, his behavior should exhibit constrained animation. With family and friends, his temperament is fundamentally playful, yet patient and stoical with children. Deliberate and wary with strangers, he will exhibit curiosity but, most importantly, fearless courage if threatened. However, he responds promptly to friendly overtures honestly rendered. His intelligence, loyal affection and tractability to discipline make him a highly desirable companion. He can be aggressive with other male dogs.
Care: The Boxer's coat is short and only requires a quick weekly brushing.
Health Concerns:
Training: The Boxer does well with obedience training. It can be a challenge as high intelligence combined with dynamic nature demands a patient owner willing to spend extra time and energy on their training.
Activity: The Boxer is an energetic breed who needs lots of exercise either by a walking or a well-fenced yard.
Life Span: The Boxer lives an average life of 10-11 years.
Litter Size: The Boxer has an average litter of 5-10 puppies.
Country of Origin: The Boxer originated in
Brief History: The Bulldog is an ancestor of the Boxer; various terriers were also part of its make-up, which gives the brood its speed, agility and more graceful body. The term "boxer" is British, but the most recent home country for the breed is Germany. "Boxer" seems appropriate since it has a mannerism of using its front legs in combat, much as a man would in fighting. The breed was virtually ignored until World War II, when it was brought into use as a military or police dog. This helped to insure instant popularity with returning servicemen, and the breed became in demand in the United States.
Registries: AKC, CKC, FCI (Group 2), KC (GB), UKC
