The early species were white in color, and nowadays banning of these dogs from the ring is the rule. The first Boxer breeding club, founded in Germany in 1860s, did not obtain official status before 1895 when an outline of the breed standard emerged. Old pictures testify to the fact that early Boxers were white in color. In 1925, exclusion of the white species from breeding projects occurred quite probably due to excessive conspicuousness in service.

By the mid-1900s, the breed promptly gained popularity in America. The first Boxer Champion registered at the American Kennel Club in 1915. In 1949, a dog, named Bang Away was born, and 2 years later, it started its 6-year championship-winning series.

Now boxers are not only famous for their powerful body build and never-ending energy, they are also known for their even temper and funny behavior. The Boxers derived their name for their distinctive manner while playing, in particular, the use of their front paws.
