Boxer Dog (Detailed Introduction)

       The reason it is called the Boxer dog is that during dog fights, this dog stands on its hind legs and stretches its front legs forward like punching, hence the name Boxer dog. The Boxer dog’s size is medium, with a square body that looks neither bulky nor thin, with very balanced proportions.

       The height of the Boxer dog is about 53.3 to 63.5 centimeters, with coordinated body proportions; male dogs have more developed bones than females. The head-to-body ratio is moderate, neither light nor heavy; the head is relatively dry without excessive wrinkles. However, when alert, natural wrinkles form on the scalp. The eyes are dark brown, neither large nor small, neither protruding nor sunken. The ears root at the highest point of the skull, gradually tapering from bottom to top. The nose is wide and black in color, slightly upturned with large nostrils. The teeth are strong and have moderate spacing.

       The neck is round and long, muscular and full, with drooping skin forming an arch. The waist is short and straight, muscular. The abdomen line is graceful; the hips are slightly slanted, wide, and mildly arched. The thighs are wide and muscular.

The coat is short, shiny, and tight to the body, with fawn color and brindle markings. White patches can make the dog look more beautiful but must not exceed one-third of the entire coat.

       The Boxer dog’s gait is smooth with powerful strides; the forelimbs are stable and the hind limbs strong, showing its confidence and majesty.
