THE BOXER DOG BREED
THE BOXER DOG BREED
This dog is a descendant of the extinct Bullenbeisser breed from north-east Belgium –
they were used for hunting bear, wild boar, and deer for centuries. Extinction came about by cross breeding with mastiff, bulldog, possibly Great Dane and terriers.
In Munich in 1896 the first Boxer breed was established, and its founders became the first Deutscher Boxer Club. These dogs were and are today, intelligent, strong and agile. During World War One the Boxer was co-opted for military work as a messenger dog, pack carrier, attack and guard dog.
