Boxer Dog
Boxers are a stocky, medium-sized, short haired dog , Golden Retriever with a smooth fawn or brindled coat , Scottish Terriers and square muzzle. They have very strong jaws and a powerful bite but are generally soft mouthed(Editor. I had a large male boxer called Mutley when I was 20 and living in share accommodation.  One of my flat mates got a rambunctious kitten , Orange Wing Amazon that would pounce on Mutley.  Now Mutley was a very large specimen, over 35 kilograms, yet he would play carefully with the naughty kitten, , Czechoslovakian Wolfdog sometimes softly biting it, with half of the kitten’s body in his mouth!)

Boxers were developed in Germany in the mid-1800s by breeding several different breeds , Mastiff together including the ancestors of a Bulldog with the ancestors of the Great Dane. The name "Boxer" is derived from this breed , Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier of dog , Neapolitan Mastiff beginning a fight by standing on its two hind legs and "boxing" with its two front paws.

An adult boxer typically weighs between 25 and 32 kg (55 to 70 lb) and is between 53 and 63 cm (21 to 25 in) tall. Cropping of the tail , Devon Rex and ears , Devon Rex remains popular, although it is now prohibited in most European breed , Spiders Level 1 Flex1 standards and is slowly becoming banned in many other countries. , Scottish Terriers

Boxers are typically either fawn or brindled with a white underbelly and white on the front or all four feet. The whiteness, called 'flashiness,' often extends onto the shoulders or face, and some boxers are entirely white, though white boxers are occasionally deaf. Conversely, some brindled boxers are so dark as to appear black. In the UK , fawn boxers are typically richer in colour , Mustang and Galiceno pony and are called "Red".

Temperament

They require training , CASPIAN Horse early as they will develop strong personalities.  They reach emotional maturity very late(3 years) for a shortish lived dog. , Collie They are not considered fully mature until age three, one of the longest times in dogdom, and thus need the early training , Shetland and Highland Ponies to keep their high energy from wearing the owner out.

Health
