Dear Reader,
Growing up on a cattle and wheat farm in North Dakota, I was exposed to dogs at an early age not only my father's herding dogs but also the many retrievers that hunters brought into the area. A chance encounter with a boxer changed my dog life. Previously enamored of herding and sporting dogs, I fell totally in love with a plain dun boxer bitch. From the moment I laid eyes on that dog, I knew that, someday, I'd own a boxer. As it turns out, they are now my breed.
From Cleo, whose white coat was a disqualifying factor in the show ring, to Huxley, my beautiful black brindle boy, each of my boxers has taught me more about this whimsical working breed. They bolt. They fight. They work either like a clown or a dream, like my Harpo, the breed's first UDX male. Harpo was so charismatic that he knew more people at the dog shows than I did! And they love, like my Gracie, the first puppy I bred, with a heart so big and true that it's breathtaking.
More than any other breed I've known, boxers need clear, consistent training to keep them out of trouble. Otherwise you'll find them chasing cars, eating the tires off your truck, or chasing the neighbors's cat, all with a look of total innocence. Enormously sensitive and intelligent, boxers also have a sense of humor. A wonderfully endearing and smart breed, they frequently exhibit the independence of cats. This book will tell you all you need to know about this fantastic, dynamic breed of dog the boxer.
Thanks, Dad, for giving me your great love of dogs.
Height: Males 2325 inches; females 21-23 inches
Weight: Males 6580 pounds; females 5065 pounds
Head: The muzzle is a third the length of the head; the bite is undershot; and the boxer has a black mask.
Ears: The ears are customarily cropped, cut long, and raised when alert. If uncropped, the ears should lie flat and close to the cheeks, falling forward when alert.
Expression: Intelligent and alert and curious.
Tail: Docked 3 to 6 inches, and held erect.
Coat: Short, shiny, and healthy. Colors are fawn or brindle. White markings should not cover more than a third of the coat.
Topline: The back is short, straight, and muscular, slightly sloping when the boxer is at attention and leveling out when in motion.
Movement: The gait is firm yet elastic and smooth. It covers a lot of ground quickly and easily athletic.
Temperament: The boxer is a hearing guard dog. He will initially exhibit curiosity and then fearless courage if threatened. He is playful and generally very patient and social with children. Intelligent, loyal, affectionate, and trainable, his curiosity remains a part of his personality throughout his life.
I would like to thank the board of the American Boxer Club and member friends who have taught me so much about this wonderful breed; Richard Tomita of Jacquet Boxers and Betty Aikenhead of Sandhill Boxers for being the best friends and mentors anyone could ask for; and Janice DeMello, one of the best obedience instructors in the nation. Jan has taught me the joy and elegance of obedience training my boxers and has been a true friend to me in my many ups and downs on that path. Thanks also go to Gary Steele and the Steele family for helping me through conformation hurdles and hassles; Kate Burgo, my editor, for her patience through my struggle in organizing the material for this book; Kathy Cognata, of
