![]() ![]() Like most all-white animals, white Boxers are at increased risk of deafness, although only a small number of white Boxers will be deaf. White Boxers are not albinos and their coloration is not the result of a genetic mutation as it sometimes is in other breeds. This is widely considered to be unacceptable now, and more white Boxers are becoming available for purchase and adoption. There is considerable controversy surrounding the white Boxer, largely because for generations, breeders killed their white puppies instead of trying to find homes for them as pets. The Boxer comes in shades of tan and brindle, as well as white. His short coat sheds, but otherwise he's an easy-care dog. ![]() He's a big dog, weighing up to 80 pounds or more, with females being quite a bit smaller than males. The Boxer's face is unmistakable: wrinkled and worried-looking, the expression belied by his square jaw, noble head and jaunty walk. While all dog-child play requires supervision, Boxers are generally good with children and make great family dogs. He's willing and able to participate in almost any organized canine activity, including agility, obedience and flyball. This breed also needs plenty of exercise to keep his high spirits in check - the Boxer is a big dog and can do a lot of damage if he's bored or lonely. The Boxer is a wonderful choice for an owner who will train him consistently, firmly, and fairly, and who can have a sense of humor about the dog's stubborn streak. ![]()
