Boxer

The breed

The Boxer is a medium-to-large, muscular dog with a square, athletic build and a distinctive broad head. Its short, smooth coat is commonly fawn or brindle with white markings, often paired with a dark facial mask. Boxers have expressive dark eyes, a strong jaw, and an alert, energetic presence that reflects their working-dog background.

Boxers are generally lively, affectionate, and playful, often retaining a puppy-like enthusiasm well into adulthood. They tend to form close bonds with their families and are known for being watchful and confident. Intelligent and spirited, they can also be clownish and entertaining, combining alertness with a warm, sociable nature.
