Boxer
The Boxer has always been one of the more popular breeds in the U.S. as well as in his native country of Germany and throughout Europe. The breed is noted for their sturdy beauty, good nature, as well as being sensible and dependable. It has excelled as a guard dog, war dog and even guide dog for the blind. The ancestry of the Boxer is contested but the breed came into its own in the late 19th century and was first shown in 1895. Though it took a while to settle on the standard for the breed, they more than proved their worth during WWI serving as messenger, pack and other service dogs by the Germans for the Red Cross. The breed should show a nobility of spirit in their attitude and though friendly do not solicit attention. In the U.S. the ears are made surgically erect while in England and Europe, the natural ear is prominent.
