Developed in Germany, the Boxer is a breed of stocky, large size, Extremely strong , short-haireddog. The coat is smooth and fawn, brindled, white, or even reverse brindled with or without white markings. Boxers are brachycephalic (they have broad, short skulls), and have a square muzzle,mandibular prognathism (an underbite), very strong jaws and a powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The Boxer was bred from the English Bulldog and the now extinct Bullenbeisser and is part of the Molosser group.

Boxers were first exhibited in a dog show for St. Bernards at Munich in 1895, the first Boxer club being founded the next year. Based on 2009 American Kennel Club statistics, Boxers are the sixth most popular breed of dog in the United States for the third year in a row—moving up in 2007 from the seventh spot, which they'd held since 2002.[1]

Wonderful information Regina.  I have always had GSD's until we got Maggie several years ago, I was hooked then on Boxers, they are wonderful loving dogs, and real clowns.  I truly do love their personalty and disposition.

Thanks for posting this.

Yes, they are. I had owned one for a short while years ago. White eyes and tannish color.
