How do you think this breed got its name? Could all that cute and cuddliness challenge you to a round of boxing? When a Boxer jumps, which is quite often, their forepaws resemble that of a boxer in a fighting ring, hence the name Boxer. 

The Boxer is a medium-sized dog with a short coat characteristic of three colours - fawn, brindle, and white. One of the striking features of a Boxer is their face - a brachycephalic skull that was once ideal for biting hard and carrying large prey. The breed was bred down from the now-extinct Bullenbeisser and was used for hunting, guarding, and herding.

Boxers are known to suffer from cataracts, cancer, obesity, arthritis, and obesity-related issues; hence diet plays a vital role in preventing the occurrence of such diseases and decreasing their probability.

Boxer dog food is fortified with essentials nutrients that are designed to suit a Boxer's digestive system and jaw structure - both of which are essential in ensuring smooth digestion and hence, maximum nutrition retention.

Boxers tend to drool more than other breeds; hence it is essential to always have a drool cloth handy, especially after exercising and in the car. Besides drooling, Boxers need very little attention when it comes to grooming.

All they require is a bi-weekly grooming and a weekly de-shedding and teeth cleaning to keep them looking their best. You could choose to bathe them once a month or once in two months since they are often found clean and odourless.

Without sufficient exercise, a Boxer's mind can be all over the place - biting, chewing, scratching, barking, mouthing etc., and since they excel at almost every sport, there is no excuse for boredom. Boxers thrive on a minimum of three to fours hours of daily exercise, each of a different challenge level that works their brain and body in different ways, such as fetch, running, hiking, swimming, agility, flyball, herding, drafting and so on. It is also crucial to feed your Boxer's mind with productive activities like scent work, obedience training, and puzzle toys.

When it comes to training, Boxers are known to be a bit on the stubborn side, given their independent nature. However, this does not imply that Boxers cannot and should not be trained. Despite their stubbornness, Boxers are exceptionally intelligent, and all they need is a bit of time, patience, consistency, and effort into their training. In order to make training easy, it is best to start as early as two months. Find top dog products for a boxer only on petsy.online!
