Boxers appeared in Germany. The breed is a crossing of German Mastiffs (Bullenbeizter and Barenbeizter) with the Bulldog. The Boxer's ancestors were strong and agile species of dogs. They were widely used as hunting dogs in deer, bear and boar hunting and bull baiting. Boxers' predecessors were also good at cattle driving. Their intelligence and ability of a Boxer to learn things and to do tricks easily earned them the reputation of dogs of arts, and they often took part in theatric plays and circus shows.

Early boxers were strong and aggressive and in many ways resembled their Bulldog fathers, but later they became less hard tempered and now are amiable and playful. The first draft of the breed standard occurred in 1904, but it was not before 1933 that the breed was officially recognized and registered with the British Kennel Club.

Boxers - Pictures - General Characteristics

The name Boxers is so because of their stocky build and punchy behavior. Despite their aggressive Bulldog-like appearance, they are very gleeful, loyal and easy-going. They can well coexist with other animals and dogs regardless of breed, and are known for doing fine with children. Throughout the entire lifespan, they remain puppy-like in behavior. However, Boxers are the best in defending themselves when it comes to that. Boxers are good as guard dogs and they have a high labor capability.
