Origin
The Boxer was developed in Germany in the 19th century. The ancestors of the boxer were two German mastiff type dogs, the Bullenbeiszer and Barenbeiszer. They were then crossed with the powerful ancestors of the Mastiff and Bulldog. The first Boxers were used for dog fighting, bull baiting, cart pulling, as cattle dogs, to round up the cattle and catch and pin wild boar and bison until the hunter could arrive . They later became popular theater and circus dogs. The first Boxer studbook was started in 1904. Until then, dogs vary widely in looks and size. The Boxer is known for the way it uses its front legs to bat at his opponent, who appears as boxing, which probably gives the dog his name. Some talents are boxer watchdog, guarding, police work, military work, search and rescue, competitive obedience, Schutzhund and tricks of the stage. Breeders breeding two types of Boxers, the German Boxer and the American Boxer. German Boxers have bigger heads and are generally more muscular than American boxers.
