About Boxer Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Boxer, originating in Germany as a versatile working and guardian breed, is a medium to large, muscular dog known for its playful, people oriented temperament, alertness, and protective nature. With a short, smooth coat in fawn or brindle often with white markings and a distinctive square muzzle, Boxers are high energy athletes who need daily vigorous exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent, positive training. Grooming is simple, regular brushing and nail care, but they shed year round and may drool; they are not hypoallergenic. As a brachycephalic breed, they are heat sensitive and should avoid strenuous activity in hot weather. Common health concerns include hip dysplasia, heart disease (especially arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and aortic stenosis), certain cancers such as mast cell tumors, and degenerative myelopathy; routine veterinary screening is recommended. Typically 21-25 inches tall and about 55-80 pounds, Boxers are classified in the Working Group and make affectionate, enthusiastic family companions when well socialized.
