The Boxer, developed in Germany, includes strains of Bulldog and Great Dane in its heritage.
The Boxer is a medium-to-large, heavily muscled working dog developed in Germany. Known for their distinctly square jaws and athletic build, they are one of the most popular family dogs in the world. They were originally bred to act as guard dogs and bull-baiters, but today they are celebrated for their profound loyalty.
Boxers are famously described as the "clowns of the dog world." They are intensely playful, highly energetic, and incredibly patient with children. Because of their boundless energy, they require vigorous daily exercise. Their short, sleek coat is very low maintenance, but they are sensitive to extreme heat and cold due to their short snouts.
