Boxer ------------------------------ Here's some Boxer info from fellow Dogwebber Roxy: White boxers have as much love to give as their brindle and red brothers and sisters and are recognised as pedigrees by the Kennel Club. However, if a boxer is more than a third white they are exempt from shows. This has lead to white boxers being less well known to the general public, some of whom may consider taking one into their family. However, many rescue centres and breeders can offer you a white boxer if you want one. The boxers originated from Germany as a cross between a few different breeds of dogs from the Mastiff strain. The Mastiff breed was originally used by the Cimbrians in their battle against the Romans. The first boxer was a white and brindle bitch who was born in 1898 and was named ?Meta von der Passage.? These first boxers were used as police dogs in Germany, and many of them were born white. The white colours were thought to be more conspicuous and so less useful for patrols, so the prejudice against the white boxer began.
No matter the colour, Boxers are absolutely brilliant. We have just this afternoon been to see our new baby. She is 4 weeks old and we will be getting her home in 3 weeks time. She is snow white, calling her Katie! Our present girl "Rosie" is red and white and the most perfect dog you could ever wish to live with. She is a bit like the one in your photo. WE got her as a baby from rescue. Would love to hear more about your special baby!
