During the Boxer’s early existence that lasted only about 100 years, it was able to leave its hints as it was portrayed on the old embroidery from the 16th and 17th centuries. By then, it was suspected that they came from the huge Mastiff-type of dogs or Bullenbeissers as they were called. This term is a German word that means “bull biter”.

1880s was the birth of the modern Boxer and George Alt was responsible for this. He lived in Munich and he brought in a brindle bullenbiesser from France which he named Flora. It was not confirmed whether the name of the breed was from the altered form of “beisser” or it is in relation to the habit of the dog to fighting by the means of its front paws and for that they were skillfully trained to do some police work and took part in the German military for the duration of World War I as they serve as a messenger and scouts.

The first registration of Boxer to American Kennel Club was in 1904 but this breed did not prosper at once for people seem to have an aversion to the dogs that arise during the World War I. But in 1940s and 1950s it started to build its name when Bang Away, a Boxer dog, acquired the title Best in Show at Westminster, this dog never rode in the cargo of the plane instead it was allowed to join the cabin. This victory of the breed in banging the title was followed 20 years later by Ch. Arriba’s Prima Donna.

The difference between the early and today’s boxer is that the latter is more polish and sophisticated compared to the former but was able to carry their being strong, fearless and smart. As a matter of fact, it ranks 7th in the registration of AKC.

In this comedy we see that Boxers are strong, fearless and courageous companions. They really like to play and do crazy things which make you laugh a lot. Boxers are suitable for big families as they love human companionship.

However, bringing a dog into the family is not always a smart thing to do.

Boxers have a short, usually brownish coat; therefore they require only one brushing per week. Because of their short hair, the best is to keep them indoors to prevent any health issues. Despite being kept indoors, this breed is prone to health issues like allergies, tumors, overweight or skin problems.

This breed is easy to train, while these dogs are clever and are eager to be trained; however they require a strong-minded, consistent and dominant trainer, because they tend to lose attention and respond badly to harsh treatment. Obedience training and proper socialization must be started at the early months. They usually like being with other dogs, pets and also like children if they are raised together.

All in all, Boxers are good for big families that will have enough time to take care of the dog and will provide them enough exercise and activity during their life.

I hope this introduction will help you decide whether the Boxer is the best breed for you.

Now, I would like to focus on the ‘new’ Boxer in Germany.  After George Alt created the recently known Boxer, it started to gain popularity. The first German Boxer Club was established in 1986 and the group published the Boxer standard in 1902. The standard doesn’t allow fully white ones as this type is prone to deafness and would be too risky to carry it in the genes. AKC recognizes the Boxers since the year of 1904.

Cropped ears and docked tail are quite popular in many countries, however, prohibited in other ones. Cropped ears are not allowed in the UK, Asutralia and Scandinavia; and docked tail is prohibited in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

The instructions are clear and easy to understand, for anybody! This book will teach you how to know more about your dog’s health and how to give him simple treatments.
