    The boxer is a German breed originally developed in the late 1800s for hunting and holding prey. Boxers are medium-sized, short-haired, energetic and muscular dogs. Males typically stand 57-63 cm tall and weigh 30-32 kg, while females are 53-59 cm tall and weigh 25-27 kg. The boxer has a very short muzzle with its lower jaw extending beyond the upper jaw, which was beneficial for its original purposes but also means the breed has trouble regulating its body temperature in extreme heat or cold.

    What Makes a Boxer ?

    The Boxer is an amazing breed in its youthful exuberance is shown from the
    puppy stage to the senior years. A Boxer that is not playful, is just not a Boxer.
    With their uncanny knack for always-making owners smile, a Boxer household is
    one that is constantly filled with joy and laughter.
    The Boxer is happy, high-spirited, playful, curious and energetic. Highly
    intelligent, eager and quick to learn, but can be stubborn and sneaky

    What is a boxer?
    The boxer is a German breed, developed in the late 1800s from mastiff-type dogs
    known as bullenbeisers (bull-baiters). The brabant bullenbeiser is generally
    accepted as being the most immediate ancestor of the boxer. These dogs were
    selectively bred for hunting and holding prey – and the independent thinking
    ability required for that task remains a feature of the breed today.

    The modern boxer is a medium sized dog, short haired, energetic and muscular
    dog. Males stand between 57-63 cm (23-25 inches) tall and weigh around 30-
    32kg (66-70lb), and females 53-59 cm (21-23 inches) weighing around 25-27kg
    (55-60lb).

    The boxer is a brachycephalic breed – meaning that it has a very short muzzle
    with the lower jaw extending beyond the upper jaw (undershot). While this gives
    the dog a very secure ‘bite’ (remember the breed was first developed for hunting
    and holding prey) it also means he has difficulty in regulating body temperature,
    and does not do well in very hot or cold conditions – he may also snore.
