Top Dog Facts About the BOXER
The Boxer, with its distinctive strong jaw and flat muzzle, is a breed of mixed European ancestry. The two main breeds that it can be said to be a direct descendant of are the Old English Bulldog and the, now extinct, German Bullenbeisser. The dogs were meant to be able to hold the bull for long periods, in a sport called bull baiting. Their typical jaw and nose structure helped in this sport.
For the same reason, these dogs were also used to hunt large game, like deer, wild boars, and even small bears. To improve the size and agility of the breed, some German breeders also introduced terrier and mastiff-type bloodlines.
There are several theories on how the very English name Boxer came to be associated with this German dog. One theory, popular but most likely incorrect, is that the dog gets its name from its fighting stance. The dog was certainly very popular in dogfights, but that is the extent of the plausibility of this theory. A more widely accepted one is that this is a derivation from the German slang word ‘Boxl’, meaning ‘short trousers’. The breed is a smaller form of the German Bullenbeisser, and Boxl is said to have been a term used to refer to the breed.
The adult male’s height ranges from 22 to 25 inches, and the female’s from 21 to 24 inches. Weight for both the male and the female is in the range of 55 to 71 pounds. The head, with the broad short skull, is the most distinguishing feature of a Boxer. The lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper one. The tip of the nose lies a little higher than the root of the muzzle. Folds are present along the muzzle down from the nose. The coat is smooth, shiny and tight, with short hair. Recognized colors are fawn, mahogany, black or brindled, with or without white markings, and white.
Grooming: The Boxer is easy to maintain. It has short hair and requires occasional grooming with a soft bristle brush to maintain its coat. Regular care includes trimming of its strong nails, checking ears for debris and brushing of teeth.
Temperament: Despite its image, and violent origins, the Boxer is not an aggressive breed. It is particularly caring of children, and craves family affection. It is also very good with other smaller pets, but can get combative with animals of the same or larger size. Its agility, alertness and suspicion of strangers make it a very good guard dog.
Training: The Boxer is a fairly intelligent dog that learns better with a reward style of training than one based on corrections. Its versatility makes it suited for a wide range of services that require attentiveness, fearlessness and strength. It requires daily mental and physical stimulation, but a good jog or a long walk on leash can be good enough.
Health: The lifespan of a Boxer is 8 to 10 years, on the lower side for dogs of this size. Infant mortality is a little high in this breed. The most common ailments seen are cancer, certain heart-related diseases, hip dysplasia and hypothyroidism. The dog is also not well suited to hot climates. Close to 20% of white Boxers are deaf in one or both ears.
The Boxer is considered the full doggy package, and it is not difficult to see why. It is loyal, loving, hard working and good looking. It also does not require too much effort for maintenance, and is perfectly happy as long as it gets to spend a lot of time with the family.
Facts:
• The Boxer was one of the first breeds to be used as a police and military dog in Germany.
• Many believe that the Boxer is one of the many descendants of the fighting dogs of old Tibet, which were brought over to Europe.
• Boxers have been favorites of celebrities past and present - Humphrey Bogart, Robin Williams, Jodie Foster, Sylvester Stallone, Justin Timberlake and Alec Baldwin, to name a few.
• Boxers come in a number of colors, but can never be pure black.

Bob Moroney had 3 Boxers and have the same opinion as you!
They snore SO loudly and they fart A lot, BUT I just love them!
We have a Boxer/American Bulldog, he’s solid white and he’s the best dog we have ever had! He’s smart, loves other young animals (kittens), doesn’t let us play fight, and has the best attitude! He looks like he would eat you up and probably would if someone broke in but he is a big baby! He thinks he’s a lapdog though lol. He’s a very handsome boy!
Boxers are the best. I will never own another breed.
hard to a imagine a better family dog, loves children!
We have a purebred brindle boxer. Best family dog we have ever had. Will always have a boxer. Have had her for 5 years and nothing but loving.
The snore.....the snore....LOL

My boxer is the sweetest boy. He’s so great with my 2 year old daughter & all kids he’s around. Always trying to give them kisses. He’s the best family dog i could ever ask for. I probably wont ever own another breed!
Here's a fact..... The original four legged goof-ball 😁😁
I gave to my dad a female puppy boxer. Smart and extremely lovely. Every body loved her... she was with my dad 12 yrs.
I had a Boxer called Rio who lived till he was 12
So blessed to have had your dog that long
My boxer snoring kinda calms me down just having him around really helps and he's my service dog I take him everywhere
The best dogs, in terms of playfulness, family love, and loyalty. Once you’ve been introduced to a boxer, you will NEVER change!!!!
They snore and fart loudly
Ciaran C mine does that a lot😂
Perfect! Just like me :)
Our first boxer farted and six people immediately went out on the deck it was so awful ! But I've had boxers all of my life, great dogs !
Facts, my last boxer Sophie would fart and scare herself, she would look back like "who was that??" and then get up off the couch annoyed. They are great dogs, I don't think I could own any other breed.
Stinkies!!!!
Love this boxer information
I grew up being scared of “big” dogs.. after getting to know my boyfriends boxer, I knew I had to have my own. I love my Harley, hands down the best dog I’ve ever had.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
They are great and smart.
. . . . and they are AWESOME! We have had 6 boxers, currently have 3 in our home.
love her snoring
My 2 boxers were super caring and silly. Kept my younger sister (when she was smaller) safe during walks
I have a pit boxer and he snores so loud. I hope he lives longer than 10 years though... Hes my buddy.
corbin kile he likely will live longer. When ever another breed is introduced into a line, the results is almost always a healthier stock. Boxer pit would make. Beautiful pup! May you both have a Long happy life together.
corbin kile...Our family also has a pitt/boxer, Thor will be 4 this coming Christmas and is the most loving, gentle and protective dog we have ever owned..Since Pitts have a bad reputation my husband was not very happy when Thor came to his forever home, but now....3.5 yrs later....this dog is so part of our family and we are not complete unless he is with us in travel and just around the house..Awesome dog!!
I’ve had 9 boxers over my life and I’ve never had one to last past 8 years ... so sad and ultra painful to loose one you love so much
I love my baby hemi 💙 he jumps on me when I get home from school and always waits for me outside the bathroom 🥰 he likes to bite my toes when I’m barefoot too lol
What do you mean "you shouldn't have your dog sleep outside of your bedroom"? My favorite part is his loud snores at night. I feel like he got exercised and he's recharging for the next day 😍😍😍
I had a female boxer named sassy that was so jealous that I couldn't pet another dog without her attacking it. She was the perfect family dog. Passed away a few years ago and I still miss her.
Good factual information in the video. Boxers are the best dogs ever. We are on our second Boxer. They do need to spend a lot of time with their families and insist on being included as they are very social animals. Our old Boxer should have been called Houdini, he opened doors both ways, windows, broke out of his backyard cage several times, jumped nearly all the fences I build - just to be with his family. Finally we simply included him in all we did. Both our boxers have been good for thieving, our current Boxer Ludwig steals my tools, shoes, socks you name it and run out into the backyard so we can play with his prey. When ever I am fixing something in house he comes along sticks his head under my arm and wants to be parts of whatever is going on. When you have to let them go it is a big sorrow - you will loose a loved family member.
rivals my father for loudest snore in the house. he also farts up a storm.
I love my boxer boy so much.
Love but boxers!! 🐶💚🐶
Adoro los boxer💖💖💖💖
They snore.... mine is half basset hound, she is very sweet and loving. Is amazing with my 4 year old kid.
My neighbor was visiting me and brought his puppy and my boxer puppy kept barking at his puppy I’ve always had boxers growing up and finally we got one 🥰🐶her name is Dixie
I have to boxer dogs and I love them so much
Great
Thanks. I had 2 Boxers,and 5 Boston Terriers. Boston Terriers are like a smaller version of a Boxer. They both are similar in almost everything,except size. Both are the Best Dogs you could have. Both are very Handsome with their ears cropped,and tails bobbed.Mmmmmmmm
I love my boxer baby
we have a very small boxer and she does not snore.....in fact she sleeps on our bed with us...she only weighs 40 lbs
but she does sneeze a lot so I guessed that one....PS she also "snorts" when she gets excited....she's the best :)
What breed would go best with a boxer out of a bull terrier, American staffordshire terrier or an American pit bull terrier??? Thanks
I love my boxer
my fav
i wishd id had dog like that
My boxer lab snores, but I've gotten used to it after a while, and he just turned a year old
C for sure!

Mine snores like a buzzsaw!
I KNEW IT!! I have Boxer named Chico and he SNORES SO LOUD (he on my profile picture)
Yajaira Ortiz hhg
they snore loudly - at least my Sam does :-)
Boxer is a great dog.
It is. I would like a boxer or a dachshund
My lab boxer mix is snoring in my room and I can hear her over this video in the living room. Also she will let little dogs attack her but if the same size or bigger dog looks at her funny she loses it.
Interesting how the language sort of influences how we see things/ dogs. I always thought they were called boxers because everyday on my way back from school, these two boxers in my neighborhood weould bark very loudly at us and I heard they were called boxers and thought oh because they're fighting all the time, and other passersby, and at other dogs when we saw them walking with their owners.
After a while you learn that the relationships dogs have with others comes not from your own experiences but from the owners relationship with their dog and how well or poorly theyve trained them.
Bahut Mast aapka dog hai bahut Sundar hai
Have 2 boxers. Best dogs I have ever had.
A lot of people say they snore but my boxer does not he sneezes 5 times at a time any reasons why?
My Boxer only barks at me. Usually when it's time for a walk.
They snort and sneezing in threes
My boxer use to sneeze in sets of three I lost her 1 month ago
We’ve 2 boxers ones 3 and the other is 13 but the oldest one is deaf and has cancer at the moment, he’ll soon pass which I’m currently dreading at the moment
So boxer dogs are German.. kay
*neck minute*
Hello could I sign my dog up for the GSG 9 training course?
Can some please help I love my boxer puppy however I can’t seem to pee pad train him . He’s 9weeks old
On my fourth pair.
I've had Boxers since I was 5 years old and wouldn't have any other breed.
also, should be noted, boxers are like potato chips, hard to stop at just one!
I think I have a boxer but we think he’s around 6 to 9 months but he’s around 75 pounds
I think he could have some massif in him
My boxer is called Otis and he's snoring on my lap right now my room also smells of farts because of him
Boxers (2) snore, I snore, wife turns up the television.
Our first Boxer girl lived to 13, such loving and endearing dogs. A unique breed in my opinion, but obviously biased.
My boxer treats my daughter like her puppy. Don't mess with her.
C I have a boxer they snore loudly xD
My mush is 95 pounds and most pure bread boxers are within this range especially German boxers
My boxer sleeps in my room and he snores but it’s not loud at all and it’ll probably go off and on ever 1hr or 2 for like 2-5 min
are they good as guard dog?
No, they are not hood guard dogs unfortunately
My boxer is all white 3 feet tall and has a twin who is also with us
i wishd id had some day boxer
C, I had one who snored like Fred Flintstone.
Could the name be related to their tendency to ‘box’ with their front paws when playing etc? It’s the funniest thing to see and looks somewhat awkward but definitely resembles a person trying to ward of punches or dodge their opponent when boxing. 😁 🥊
Snore is right !!! My 15 week old girl snores like an old grandpa !!! Hahahahaha. She hates baths, loves to steal bras and socks. When she is in trouble, runs and hides under the bed. Her favorite toy is a box, where she can tear it apart in small pieces all over the living room. But she is the best cuddle buddy I will ever have !!
I have a boxer and her name is Bella🐶🐶🐶
The Word Boxer in german describes a boxing fighter. And the dogs are called like this because their look when they stand only on their hind legs... they look like a "Boxer" then,...
My dog sneezes in three
THEY SAY THEY HAVE or prone to HIP DISPLASIA.....no problem,I had a old English Sheep Dog with same problem......my Chiropractor next door neighbor fixed/adjusted him in a minute and he took off running happy :-)
Someone please tell, can I keep a boxer if I can give him only 20-30 minutes of exercise daily?? please reply!
no
yashu bhasin yes that is what I do with mine and she is very happy
RC Anno I doubt that very much. You think she's happy, it's only because she is so pleased to see you after leaving her alone all day. A dog like a boxer needs at least a couple of hours exercise daily. If you don't work from home or can't employ a good dog walking service you have no business having a dog, they suffer from separation anxiety and giving them insufficient exercise is just cruel.
Snore , mine was a great dog ! Always wanted to go with me always stayed close I had a set up so he could go out to pee and he'd come rite back in loved kids was funny and goofy but cancer took him at 61/2 yrs
Fun fact about the colors it also comes in blue. I seen with my own eyes.
They're beautiful but they also snore
I have a white boxer
lets get the life span going again thats the issue with this super breed back in the 70-80's we got 12-14 years now I have friends that dont even get 4-9 years out of this great companion something went wrong in the lines in North America brain issues cancer and heart problems its sad to say but true
Cancer took mine Rip Elsa, Theda, Fred and Kevin...
They are adorable dogs,
I don’t know why people cut theirs tails and ears?
True. It's so cruel.
Ask these people to cut their new born's toes. Should they do it?
Are they aggressive
Mine isn't at all. I'm not sure she knows she's a dog though. She has decided to appoint herself as my one year old granddaughter's body guard. Sweetest dog I've ever had!
They snore like a human lol
Boxers are the best
Woww
15 years along side my boxer, never heard him snore. but he always sneezed a lot, so, im guessin A,
Edit: (C? mine was unique then) haha

My boxer doesn't snore at all, couldn't be more proud of my boy, and since he's so quiet i always let him sleep on the end of my bed, yeah he's big but I don't give a fuck, he's slept on my bed since he was a pup and I don't want that changing anytime soon. All other people I've talked to have complained that their boxer snores. Guess my boy is just better then theirs.
My dog snores loudly
