The boxer dog is a medium sized dog that was originally bred in Germany, and came from breeding the now-extinct Bullenbeisser (Bull-biter) with an English bulldog. The boxer dog was originally bred to be a medium-sized guard dog, and was first bred in the 1890s in Germany. Boxers can also be somewhat sensitive or headstrong, and actually rebel in some aspects if they are trained too harshly.

Your boxer dog may have a docked tail and cropped ears, although this is now becoming illegal in much of the world (including Germany, where the Boxer was originally bred) due to animal rights activists challenging the necessity of docking for health reasons. If you have a medium sized home with access to a park, than a boxer is likely an excellent choice of dog for you.

According the American KennelClub, boxers dogs are now the sixth most popular dog in the United States for the second year in a row. Boxer Descriptions.
