the truth about the white boxer

HeavyWeightKennels — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 21:41:11 CDT

The Truth behind the White Boxer

The white Boxer now makes up 25% of all Boxers within the United States and there are still many misconceptions about this color of Boxer. Every week when viewing the classified ads of the local paper I see at least one breeder offering Boxer puppies that mentions that they have a few “Rare” white Boxer puppies. This article was written to educate potential Boxer owners about the White Boxer.

Although the color of a Boxer does not determine its’ individual personality or all those Boxer traits we love, much has been published about the White Boxer. In many cases they are listed as rare, but the fact is that they have been a part of the breed as long as the Boxer breed has been around. Although theories differ on how the white gene was introduced, many believe it is due to the early cross breeding with the English Bulldog, although the White Boxer existed before the time the breeds were mixed. Originally the Boxer is believed to have been white in color and could be registered in Germany until 1925.

A problem arose with the white color due to the Boxer being used as a police dog. Naturally the white color compromised the breeds ability to not be seen at night. In 1925 the white Boxer was no longer eligible for registration in Germany to help rule out the white gene. This led to many breeders killing any puppies of the white color and is where a lot of debate about the white Boxer begins.

Many people today believe that the white Boxer is an albino, which it is not. An albino is an animal that has no pigment whereas the white Boxer’s coat is simply white and the animal does not lack pigment. For this reason the white Boxer is not more susceptible to diseases that occur within albino animals than other Boxers are.

The white Boxer is not recognized in the show arena today. According to the AKC Guidelines a Boxer may be a color of fawn or brindle with white markings. Any Boxer with more than 1/3 of their body containing white markings is a disqualification. Although the white Boxer may not be shown, it can be registered with the AKC and compete in sporting events. There has been some debate of late in regards to if the white Boxer should be allowed to show. When discussing this issue the main point to remember is that a show animal should confirm to the breeds’ original intention, even if the breed is not used for working in today’s society.

One main issue when considering a white Boxer is of health concern. Contrary to popular belief no clear evidence has been presented showing the white Boxer is more susceptible to diseases. The one area of health, which occurs highly in the white Boxer, is deafness. This can be a major obstacle, but one that can be handled and by no means should discourage one from choosing a white Boxer.
It is a positive sign though that an increasing number of breeders are electing to place their non-standard boxers in pet homes rather than destroying them. Boxers are more likely to sunburn and white Boxers (like many other breeds with similar loss of pigment problems) are more prone to deafness in one or both ears. Neither of these reasons provides a compelling argument for the necessary destruction of these animals.

White Boxers are not caused by genetic birth defects. Just as human hair color is the product of the combined genetics of the human parents so too is the color of a Boxer's coat a product of the genetics contributed by both the father and mother. The exclusively white coat is created when both the mother and father are carriers of the gene that makes up the white coat and the offspring inherits the white coat gene from both the father and the mother. In every way the puppy is the same as all of it's siblings, with all the energy, personality, and spirit that make them boxers.
White Boxers are not albinos. Albinos completely lack pigment.. Most white boxers have some spots on their skin (which can be seen due to their short white coats) and have some markings around their nose and mouth. Some white boxers have colored markings in their coat (brown spots around an eye or on the back etc). All white boxers have pigment in their eyes, this alone rules out albinism as the cause of their whiteness.

Many breeders feel that white Boxers are inferior to standard colored Boxers and have more health problems that standard colored boxers and therefore this genocide is easily dismissed. The American Boxer Club does not activly discourage this behavior but it does allow white Boxers to be registered with the AKC on limited privilege.

The AKC will register any puppy, regardless of color, as long as both parents are registered---unless there is a contract signed by the breeder and purchaser of the puppy to the effect that the animal is not to be registered by the AKC.

There are many white Boxer resources available online by searching for “white boxer” in any popular search engine. Due to inconsistencies about the white Boxer I urge you to find a variety of resources before determining if the white Boxer is for your family. The main point to remember about the white Boxer is that they are still a Boxer and can provide an overwhelming amount of love and caring to their family.

HeavyWeightKennels — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 07:10:49 CDT

BOXER

The Boxer is a refined version of the old bullen-beisser (literal translation bull-biter) which has been streamlined in body and sweetened in temperament. His ancestors are thought to have been early Great Danes and English Bulldogs. A similarity to the Boston Terrier, the French Bulldog and the old butcher's dog indicate a definite relationship,
He may have acquired his name through a variety commonly called the boxl or through a bas-tardization of beisser. Identifiable and in demand all over the world, the breed has been in its present form since the late 1800s. The promotion of the breed in 1894 by three Germans, Friedrich Robert, Elard Konig and R. Hopner, brought the Boxer to world prominence.
The breed has always been highly favored in its native land and, upon reaching America after the First World War, received steady admiration in the Western World.
White markings are considered "flashy," and should not cover more than one-third of the dog. Occasionally, however, an all-white puppy crops up in a litter of colored dogs. Boxer ears are cropped and the tail docked, but once these puppy cosmetics are performed, he demands little time for grooming. These dogs can be sensitive to extremely high or low temperatures; thus care must be taken during very hot or cold days.
The breed's clean-limbed sturdiness makes it a versatile worker. Boxers have served as police assistants, dog guides or simply defenders of their masters' property.
The stub of the tail wags the rest of the dog. Warm, sleek and loving, they are marvelous children's playmates. Boxers can be rowdy or well-behaved, depending on demeanor and owner demands, but they are always affectionate pets.

Boxer History

HeavyWeightKennels — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 07:10:27 CDT

BOXER BREED HISTORY

The Boxer has its origins from Germany. Its history can be traced back to the 1880s. Before that, the history becomes deductive, and then speculative.
A gentleman from Munich, named George Alt, had purchased a small (Brabanter) Bullenbeisser female in France. He brought her home to Munich, and mated her to a local dog, which produced a parti-colored female - who was named Schenken. Schenken was later mated to an English Bulldog. The point to note here is that these were not random matings. Each breeding was to capture a certain look, personality or trait. Then a consistency was looked for to establish a breed type, that was produced at each whelping. Until recently, breeders would cull any "all-white" puppies from a litter, due to the fear that deafness would be passed from one generation to another. The "all-white" colorations goes back to the Bulldogs that were used initially to establish the Boxer type appearance.
The German Boxer Club was formed in 1896, and this group published the first Boxer Standard in 1902. What is remarkable is that the standard of 1902 has changed very little over time.
Some pictures of the Boxer show the dog with cropped ears and docked tails. This is very common in the United States. However, this practice is being discontinued in several countries, as it is considered cruel. Cropping of the ears is prohibited in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Scandinavia. Tail docking is banned in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
The Boxer came to the United States in 1903 through the Stuttgarter Kennels. The A.K.C. registered its first Boxer in 1904, before there was a national parent club. In 1912, the American public's attention was drawn to the Boxer breed, thanks to the importation of the 1912 Seiger, Dampf von Dom, by the future Governor of New York and Mrs. Herbert H. Lehman. In 1915, Dampf became the first Boxer to receive championship honors in the United States.
The American Boxer Club was founded in 1935, and the club's membership to the A.K.C. occurred in May, of 1936.
For anyone interested in purchasing a Boxer, they would do well to purchase the book by Anna K. Nicholas, entitled "The Boxer". It is a very well researched study of the foundation Boxers, that were instrumental in the development of the modern Boxer. It also has excellent chapters on purchasing a Boxer, care of a puppy, show and obedience, and also on breeding a Boxer.

Boxer Breed Standard

HeavyWeightKennels — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 07:10:12 CDT

BOXER BREED STANDARD

Fawn and Brindal

GENERAL APPEARANCE
The ideal Boxer is a medium-sized, square-built dog of good substance with short back, strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat. His well-developed muscles are clean, hard, and appear smooth under taut skin. His movements denote energy. The gait is firm yet elastic, the stride free and ground-covering, the carriage proud. Developed to serve as guard, working, and companion dog, he combines strength and agility with elegance and style. His expression is alert and his temperament steadfast and tractable.

The chiseled head imparts to the Boxer a unique individual stamp. It must be in correct proportion to the body. The broad, blunt muzzle is the distinctive feature, and great value is placed upon its being of proper form and balance with the skull.

In judging the Boxer first consideration is given to general appearance and overall balance. Special attention is then devoted to the head, after which the individual body components are examined for their correct construction, and the gait evaluated for efficiency.

SIZE
Adult males 23 to 25 inches; females 21 to 23 inches at the withers. Proper balance and quality in the individual should be of primary importance since there is no size disqualification.

PROPORTION
The body in profile is square in that a horizontal line from the front of the forechest to the rear projection of the upper thigh should equal the length of a vertical line dropped from the top of the withers to the ground.

SUBSTANCE
Sturdy, with balanced musculature. Males larger boned than females.

HEAD
The beauty of the head depends upon the harmonious proportion of muzzle to skull. The blunt muzzle is 1/3 the length of the head from the occiput to the tip of the nose, and 2/3rds the width of the skull. The head should be clean, not showing deep wrinkles (wet). Wrinkles typically appear upon the forehead when ears are erect, and are always present from the lower edge of the stop running downward on both sides of the muzzle.

EXPRESSION
Intelligent and alert.

EYES
Dark brown in color, frontally placed, generous, not too small, too protruding, or too deepset. Their mood-mirroring character, combined with the wrinkling of the forehead, gives the Boxer head its unique quality of expressiveness. Third eyelids preferably have pigmented rims.

EARS
Set at the highest points of the sides of the skull, the ears are customarily cropped, cut rather long and tapering, and raised when alert. If uncropped, the ears should be of moderate size, thin, lying flat and close to the cheeks in repose, but falling forward with a definite crease when alert.

SKULL
The top of the skull is slightly arched, not rounded, flat, nor noticeably broad, with the occiput not overly pronounced. The forehead shows a slight indentation between the eyes and forms a distinct stop with the topline of the muzzle. The cheeks should be relatively flat and not bulge (cheekiness), maintaining the clean lines of the skull as they taper into the muzzle in a slight, graceful curve.

MUZZLE AND NOSE
The muzzle, proportionately developed in length, width, and depth, has a shape influenced first through the formation of both jawbones, second through the placement of the teeth, and third through the texture of the lips. The top of the muzzle should not slant down (downfaced), nor should it be concave (dishfaced); however, the tip of the nose should lie slightly higher than the root of the muzzle. The nose should be broad and black.

BITE AND JAW STRUCTURE
The Boxer bite is undershot, the lower jaw protruding beyond the upper and curving slightly upward. The incisor teeth of the lower jaw are in a straight line, with the canines preferably up front in the same line to give the jaw the greatest possible width. The upper line of the incisors is slightly convex with the corner upper incisors fitting snugly in back of the lower canine teeth on each side. Neither the teeth nor the tongue should ever show when the mouth is closed.

The upper jaw is broad where attached to the skull and maintains this breadth, except for a very slight tapering to the front. The lips, which complete the formation of the muzzle, should meet evenly in front. The upper lip is thick and padded, filling out the frontal space created by the projection of the lower jaw, and laterally is supported by the canines of the lower jaw. Therefore, these canines must stand far apart and be of good length so that the front surface of the muzzle is broad and squarish and, when viewed from the side, shows moderate layback. The chin should be perceptible from the side as well as from the front. Any suggestion of an overlip obscuring the chin should be penalized.

NECK
Round, of ample length, muscular and clean without excessive hanging skin (dewlap). The neck should have a distinctly arched and elegant nape blending smoothly into the withers.

BACK AND TOPLINE
The back is short, straight, muscular, firm, and smooth. The topline is slightly sloping when the Boxer is at attention, leveling out when in motion.

BODY
The chest is of fair width, and the forechest well-defined and visible from the side. The brisket is deep, reaching down to the elbows; the depth of the body at the lowest point of the brisket equals half the height of the dog at the withers. The ribs, extending far to the rear, are well-arched but not barrel-shaped.

The loins are short and muscular. The lower stomach line is slightly tucked up, blending into a graceful curve to the rear. The croup is slightly sloped, flat and broad. The pelvis is long, and in females especially broad. The tail is set high, docked, and carried upward. An undocked tail should be severely penalized.

FOURQUARTERS
The shoulders are long and sloping, close-lying, and not excessively covered with muscle (loaded). The upper arm is long, approaching a right angle to the shoulder blade. The elbows should not press too closely to the chest wall nor stand off visibly from it. The forelegs are long, straight, and firmly muscled, and, when viewed from the front, stand parallel to each other. The pastern is strong and distinct, slightly slanting, but standing almost perpendicular to the ground. The dewclaws may be removed. Feet should be compact, turning neither in nor out, with well-arched toes.

HINDQUARTERS
The hindquarters are strongly muscled, with angulation in balance with that of the forequarters. The thighs are broad and curved, the breech musculature hard and strongly developed. Upper and lower thigh are long. The legs are well-angulated at the stifle, neither too steep nor over-angulated, with clearly defined, well "let down" hock joints. Viewed from behind, the hind legs should be straight, with hock joints leaning neither in nor out. From the side, the leg below the hock (metatarsus) should be almost perpendicular to the ground, with a slight slope to the rear permissible. The metatarsus should be short, clean, and strong. The Boxer has no rear dewclaws.

COAT
Short, shiny, lying smooth and tight to the body.

COLOR
The colors are fawn and brindle. Fawn shades vary from light tan to mahogany. The brindle ranges from sparse but clearly defined black stripes on a fawn background to such a heavy concentration of black striping that the essential fawn background color barely, although clearly, shows through (which may create the appearance of reverse brindling). White markings, if present, should be of such distribution as to enhance the dog's appearance, but may not exceed one-third of the entire coat. They are not desirable on the flanks or on the back of the torso proper. On the face, white may replace part of the otherwise essential black mask, and may extend in an upward path between the eyes, but it must not be excessive, so as to detract from true Boxer expression. The absence of white markings, the so-called "plain" fawn or brindle, is perfectly acceptable, and should not be penalized in any consideration of color. Disqualifications Boxers that are any color other than fawn or brindle. Boxers with a total of white markings exceeding one-third of the entire coat.

GAIT
Viewed from the side, proper front and rear angulation is manifested in a smoothly efficient, level-backed, ground covering stride with a powerful drive emanating from a freely operating rear. Although the front legs do not contribute impelling power, adequate reach should be evident to prevent interference, overlap, or sidewinding (crabbing). Viewed from the front, the shoulders should remain trim and the elbows not flare out. The legs are parallel until gaiting narrows the track in proportion to increasing speed, then the legs come in under the body but should never cross. The line from the shoulder down through the leg should remain straight although not necessarily perpendicular to the ground. Viewed from the rear, a Boxer's rump should not roll. The hind feet should dig in and track relatively true with the front. Again, as speed increases, the normally broad rear track will become narrower. The Boxer's gait should always appear smooth and powerful, never stilted or inefficient.

CHARACTER AND TEMPERMENT
These are of paramount importance in the Boxer. Instinctively a hearing guard dog, his bearing is alert, dignified, and self-assured. In the show ring his behavior should exhibit constrained animation. With family and friends, his temperament is fundamentally playful, yet patient and stoical with children. Deliberate and wary with strangers, he will exhibit curiosity, but, most importantly, fearless courage if threatened. However, he responds promptly to friendly overtures honestly rendered. His intelligence, loyal affection, and tractability to discipline make him a highly desirable companion. Any evidence of shyness, or lack of dignity or alertness, should be severely penalized.

The foregoing description is that of the ideal Boxer. Any deviation from the above described dog must be penalized to the extent of the deviation.

Disqualifications
Boxers that are any color other than fawn or brindle. Boxers with a total of white markings exceeding one-third of the entire coat.
