Appearance
The Boxer is a medium-sized, square built dog of good substance with short back,
strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat. A Boxer should have a broad, blunt muzzle
and an expression of alertness.
Temperament
The character of the Boxer is of the greatest importance and demands the most
careful attention. He is renowned for his great love and faithfulness to his master
and household, his alertness, and fearless courage as a defender and protector.
His intelligence and willing tractability, his modesty, and cleanliness make him a
highly desirable family dog and cheerful companion.
History
The ancestors of this breed were the German Bullenbeisser, a dog of Mastiff
descent, and the English Bulldog. In 1894, three Germans by the name of Roberth,
Konig, and Hopner stabilized the breed and put it on exhibition at a dog show in
Munich in 1895, and the next year founded the first Boxer Club. Boxers were once
used for fighting and bull baiting but over the years they become more refined with a
non-aggressive temperament.
