The Boxer is a medium to large, short-haired breed of dog, developed in Germany. The coat is smooth and tight-fitting; colors are fawn, brindled, or white, with or without white markings.

Boxers are generally more comfortable with companionship, in either human or canine form. Boxers are generally more comfortable with companionship, in either human or canine form. Boxers are very patient and are great to adopt as family dogs because they are good with children and people of all kinds. The name 'Boxer' is supposedly derived from the breed's tendency to play by standing on its hind legs and 'boxing' with its front paws. According to Andrew H. Brace's Pet owner's guide to the Boxer, this theory is the least plausible explanation.
