Boxer: All You Need to Know About Boxer Dog Breed
Boxer:
Originally developed in Germany from the extinct Bullenbeisser breed, Boxers were bred for hunting, guarding, and later as working dogs during wartime. These muscular, athletic dogs got their name from their tendency to play by standing on their hind legs and "boxing" with their front paws. Today, they're beloved family companions known for their patient nature with children and clownish personality. In India, they've become popular family dogs, though their short muzzle and high energy levels need careful management in our climate.
