Boxer Dog Breeders

Boxers are increasingly popular in many countries, so the number of Boxer Dog Breeders is growing too. On the one hand, this provides ampler choice for prospective Boxer owners, but on the other hand, this increases the risk of disappointment, since there are lots of so called “puppy mills” – breeders that view dog breeding as business and often produce low quality puppies with doubtful pedigrees. If you purchase a puppy from a “puppy mill”, you are more likely to be confronted with serious health problems in your dog, and there is less chance for your dog to succeed in a dog show.

For this reason, choosing a reputable and conscientious Boxer Dog Breeder is a must-do for every dog-lover. Online dog information resources usually provide sufficient information on Boxer breeding and tips on how to properly choose a puppy and what makes a good Boxer breeder. If you want a high quality dog and want your dog to win obedience competitions, please, buy puppies only from good breeders. Do not purchase puppies at pet stores of from street brokers.

The Boxer originated in Germany, descending from the Brabanter Bullenbeiszer – a large and strong Mastiff-type dog, the descendant of the Greek Molossian Hound. The Barenbeiszer is another fighter dog that has greatly influenced the Boxer breed. Those early dogs were agile hunters, and they were also adept at cattle-driving. They used to be popular as fighter dogs, and hence they had quite a vicious temperament. Later, their offspring became popular as circus dogs. Until the beginning of the 20th century, breeding was indiscriminate. In 1904, Boxer Dog Breeders outlined the breed standard for the Boxer.

The Boxer of today is a cheerful and mischievous companion, which has none of the ferocity of old Mastiff-type dogs. This is a very convivial and playful dog, and it was named so due to its specific “boxing” manner of toying with things. Boxers use their front paws actively, and they appear to be the most boisterous and vivacious descendants of old fighter dogs. They are great playmates for children and they usually get on well with other pets. However, they can be short with same-sex species. Although they are okay with children, they should not be left around children without supervision. Boxers are very strong and active dogs, and may knock over a child unintentially. Good Boxer Dog Breeders always warn their potential clients about the possibility of such accidents.

Boxers are medium-sized and sturdy dogs, featuring short and glossy coat, which comes in fawn, red, brindle (often with white markings), etc. White coat is not preferred. These dogs have blunt wrinkly muzzles and very intense eyes. The neck is powerful and sloping. The head is square. The ears are not always cropped. The tail is usually docked. Wither height averages 22-25 inches, and body weight amounts to 55-70 lbs. Boxer Dog Breeders do not recommend this breed for inexperienced dog owners, since it takes a great deal of patience and firmness to properly train a Boxer.
