Boxer

The Boxer is a breed of medium-sized, short-haired dog originating in Germany.

Bred from the now extinct Bullenbeisser and English Bulldog, the Boxer was used as a guard and hunting dog.

With its strong jaw and muscular body, the Boxer is an agile and powerful breed.

It is known for its intelligence, loyalty, and playful nature, making it an ideal companion for families.

The Boxer was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1904 and has since become one of the most popular breeds in the United States.

Its popularity is due to its friendly and affectionate personality, as well as its ability to adapt to different environments.

The Boxer is an active breed that loves to play and needs regular exercise to stay healthy.

With its strong protective instincts, the Boxer is an excellent guard dog and loyal companion.
