Brief history of the BOXER
The Boxer originated out of Germany, in around the late 19th century. They are part of the Molosser dog group, bred from the Old English Bulldog and the now extinct Bullenbeisser( a dog of Mastiff descent). The Boxer is a member of the Working Group. Its history was working as a hunting tracking dog, to seize and hold the prey until the hunters arrived. During World War 1 they were also co-opted for military work acting as a valuable messenger dog, pack carrier, trained attack dog, and guard dog. It was not until after Word War 11, that Boxers became popular around the world. They were taken home by returning soldiers, and introduced to a wider audience. They soon became a favorite loving, and loyal companion, and have held steady now as a most popular breed for many, many years.
The true look of the purebred EUROPEAN BOXER
We put much detail into importing from healthy, beautiful European lines, and when carefully selecting our matches. The great health and true look, of the European Boxer is becoming hard to find in some areas, and with irresponsible breeding it will be lost. Purebred European Boxers are stunning in looks, head turners I would say. They hold themselves with pride, showing off a strong, square, handsome body with a straight top line(back) and beautiful strong bone. The head should be in correct proportion to his body, with a broad short, square skull. The mouth is full and wide, with a shorter nose and chin slightly tipped up. The jowls are well padded and fall nicely rounded from upper lip. The head shows some loose skin, not too tight, yet not too wrinkled. With looser skin framing darker almond shaped eyes, her expression is one of innocence, intelligence... full of love and playful inquisitiveness. I have had people ask me what the difference is between American and European Boxers. Well they definitely have a different look, different heads, and other slight differences. The European Boxers head looks more like a puppy's in some ways... irresistibly sweet, soft looking, inquisitive and happy! Some people describe their expression as being a sad one, in a relaxed state, although there is nothing sad about their temperament ;) The Boxer's coat is smooth, shiny, and short. They shed min - moderate depending on the time of year. They are very low maintenance with grooming, needing little to none. And because of their short single coat, they cannot withstand being in the colder temperatures for very long!
