Boxer Puppies
The Boxer is characterized by its medium size and short haired body. The coat of the dog is smooth and tight. The common colors are brindle and fawn. The coat can either have the white markings or not. The muzzle is square, the skull is broad and short and the teeth make an under bite. Other than that, the jaws are pretty strong and make a very powerful bite which is crucial for hanging on prey. The first Boxer puppies were bred from Old English Bulldogs and the Bullenbeisser which is now extinct. This was done in Germany. Statistically speaking, the Boxers are the 7th most popular dog breeds in the US.
