White Boxers cannot be registered with some Kennel Clubs. The tail is usually docked. Ear cropping is optional. (Docking and cropping is illegal in some countries.) Its head should be in proportion to its body, lean and unwrinkled. Its lower jaw extends beyond its upper one, curving upward. Neither teeth nor tongue are to show when the mouth is closed. The nose is large and black with very open nostrils. Eyes dark. The neck should be round, strong, and muscular, without dewlap. The body should be square. The tail is carried high. Its front legs should be straight and parallel.
CARE REQUIRED: The coat can be kept in condition by grooming occasionally with a rubber brush. Pay special attention to this when the dog is shedding.
CHARACTER: This happy, friendly, spontaneous, and intelligent dog is eager to learn and curious. Learning quickly, it is also vigilant, boisterous, uncomplicated, straightforward, lively and constantly on the move, bonding very closely with the family.
TRAINING: Teach the Boxer not to be so boisterous and especially not to jump up at people. Since it learns quickly and has substantial intelligence, the Boxer is ideal for various sporting activities from defense trials to skills trials.
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR: Boxers are known for the way they get on well with children. A well brought-up and properly socialized Boxer will also get on with his own kind and other household pets.The Boxer’s nature is to protect you, your family, and your home. Known visitors will be welcomed boisterously.
EXERCISE: Try to give a Boxer plenty of exercise. When it has grown up, you can carefully let it run beside a bicycle. They love playing and romping with their own kind but a Boxer will happily leave its basket to play ball with you.
