Boxer Dog
history
Boxer could be a dog far-famed everywhere on the
planet. They are very popular in
America, Europe, and CIS countries, and this breed originated in Germany. In
fact, they are descendants of the large German hunting dogs Bullenbeisser, and also
have blood Bulldog. Bullenbaiser was used as a hunting dog with which went
even on a bear, as well as on wild boar, deer, elk, in general - on a large
game.
Over time, hunting big game became less, but the number of
farms, on the contrary, increased. Accordingly, the ancestors of boxers moved
from hunters to guards of estates, and also performed a lot of other functions,
being in the role of universal dogs which could be entrusted with various work,
up to the dragging of a small cart to the market with the owner.
The line of the boxer's dog began when the Munich
bullenbaiser bitch took a walk with a dog of the unknown suit, most likely - simply
with a breadless yard dog. It is believed that the litter that they had was
born, and was the first boxers. More precisely, the progenitor of the breed is
a male from this litter named Lechner. And it all happened in the late 19th
century.
The first boxers, Lechner's children, were registered as
Bierboxer or Modern Bullenbeiser, but his "daughter" was then paired
with a male bulldog, resulting in dogs that were first presented at a dog show
in Munich (and later registered) as boxers.
The most famous were the male Flocka and the female
(daughter of the Floka sister) with an intricate name (it's not even a
nickname) Meta von der Passage. originally. but! It is to her goes back a lot
of modern pedigrees, as she produced a lot of puppies with excellent
performance. Boxers of those years differed from modern, this fact, in
particular, was squatter, but the general features are much more than
differences. In America, the first individuals appeared in 1903 and gained the
location of American dog breeders.
Boxers are also among the first breeds of dogs used by
police and the military. Unfortunately, they were also used for dogfights.

personality
The dog breed boxer contains a terribly friendly
and inquisitive character. She is entirely centered on her family and master,
smart, understanding, and contains a noble temperament, composure, and nice
patience. This breed contains a high level of energy, it's a fidget, which
needs a range of activities, together with coaching, walking in nature,
fidgeting with different dogs and other people.
And, at the same time, a boxer cannot stay on the street for
a long time, not in winter, when it is too cold, or in summer, when it is too
hot. That's the contradictory creature. The thing is that in summer because of
the short muzzle the body of the dog is not cooled properly, and in winter,
because of the short coat, respectively, does not retain heat. Therefore, if in
winter you have a long walk somewhere, it is better to put the dog in a special
jumpsuit.
By the way, if you have a private house and your yard, and
you want the dog to be more on the street, make sure that there was a thick
shade, and do not be lazy to water the pet from the hose. On a hot day, he'll
be happy about it. But in winter it will have to be kept in the house, here
without options.
Inside his family, the boxer is an incredibly affectionate,
devoted, and loving dog, who is distinguished by obedience and responsiveness. He likes to play, fool
around, and normally usually behaves terribly funny, catching the lover's views
of the house owners - this dog, of course, like. It adapts well to
different living conditions, and can easily live in a city apartment if it gets
enough walks and activities described above.
The dog breed boxer has a low level of aggression and
rarely engages in quarrels with other dogs, or even more so with other people.
This is possible, as the pet will always protect its owners, but the first he
on someone else's dog for no reason does not throw - such cases are extremely
rare. One of the legendary qualities of a boxer is his attitude to children and great patience in communicating with them. Even a tiny low kid
WHO isn't nonetheless superb at behaving with a dog, won't cause a negative
reaction during this breed. If this happens, it is an isolated case, an exception
to the rule.
In relation to strangers, the dog is cautious, and at first, glances as if he may not even notice an outsider, although, in fact, the dog is
always on the lookout. If it is a family friend and he knows how to behave with
a dog, she will answer him positively, but with restraint. After all, the breed
of the boxer is known for its vigilance - it is an excellent watchman, he has a
heightened sense of hearing and is in the attention even when, at first glance,
peacefully dozing. And if it's necessary to prevent
the unwelcome person, the dog won't back off and can do everything attainable.
The breed of the boxer is known for the fact that it matures for
a very long time - full maturation occurs no earlier than three years. This is
one of the reasons why the dog has been keeping its playfulness for so long.
Boxers participate in dog disciplines - obedience, agility, and a three-stage
competition, which tests the dog's ability to track, obedience, and protect.
