History

The Boxer has its roots in the German Bullenbeisser, a strong hunting dog known for taking down animals such as deer, wild boar, and even bears. As hunting methods changed in the late 1800s to prioritize speed instead of sheer strength, there was a need for a smaller, quicker dog. To create this new type, breeders mixed the Bullenbeisser with the English Bulldog, which led to the development of the Boxer.
Ideal Owner

These lively dogs need owners who love to stay active, going for long walks and engaging in fun training activities. Boxers are playful even as they grow up, which can sometimes cause confusion with other dogs, so having patience and training skills is very important. Future owners should also keep in mind that this breed can be prone to specific health problems.
