Other breeds have pronounced specialized talents...hunting, herding,
trailing, and so on... but for a combination of the outstanding
virtues of many with the faults of a few, our Boxer ist the most
gifted of Canines. For the man, woman or child, who wants an allround
dog, he has no equal. No other dog is more individual in appearance,
more keenly intelligent or sanely even-tempered. He seems to offer
something special to each person he meets....
History:
-origin: East Europe
The breed came to Germany by the Kimberer via the migration of the
peoples. The Teutons and the Saxons used them for hunting and fighting.
Later the breed was crossed with the English bulldog and the result
was the Boxer of today.
