The Boxer Doesn't Really "Box"

  • 31/10/2010

The Boxer is a modern breed, developed around 1890. The boxer is actually descended from a combination of the bulldog and the German "Bullbeisen", a hunter of wild boar and bears. It appears that the first actual Boxer probably sprang from "Tom", an all white bulldog mated to a Bullbeisen female. This may explain the prevalence of all white boxers which are often produced in litters today. Most boxers of today do have white markings on the face, chest, and legs. The first standard for the Boxer breed in the American Kennel Club was drawn up in 1905 and has been changed several times since then, as it is still a continually developing breed.
