#10 Basically, feeding the German Boxer is uncomplicated. As with any of his conspecifics, he can also have individual intolerances.
Because of its activity level and the high muscle percentage, you should make sure you have an adequate protein intake and nutritious food. High-quality dog food often provides the best nutrient composition.
In principle, BARF is also suitable for your darling. You can get detailed advice on this topic from your veterinarian or pet shop.
#11 Boxers have smooth, short fur and the skin on their athletic bodies is tight. They come in two colors: tan and piebald, with or without markings. Light brown ranges from beige to mahogany.
Pied is a striking pattern of black stripes on a light brown background. White markings are commonly found on the abdomen or paws and should not cover more than a third of the coat. If it extends the white to the nape or face, the color is referred to as bright tan, or bright piebald.
Boxers without any white are referred to as plain boxers. On the face, the boxer has a black mask, sometimes with a white stripe, or blaze, running up from the muzzle between the eyes. Boxers do not carry the gene for a solid black coat color, so you will never see a black boxer.
#12 In England, light brown boxers are usually very colorful and are described as “red”. White markings covering more than one-third of the body are grounds for disqualification in the show ring.
This is because excessive white markings make boxers more prone to health problems such as skin cancer and deafness. Reputable breeders do not want to pass on these genes. In the past, breeders would often euthanize white puppies soon after birth, but most breeders now give them away as pets.
Whilst White Boxers cannot be shown in formation shows and should not be used for breeding, they can very well compete in obedience and agility and of course, they still have that wonderful Boxer personality that makes them such great companions!
The boxer's coat requires minimal maintenance. Boxers are clean dogs and are known to groom themselves like cats. Boxers can shed quite a bit, weekly brushing with a bristle brush or a stiff rubber grooming glove will help keep the hair under control.
