🏞 History
The Boxer, originating from Germany, was developed in the 19th century through the crossbreeding of a Bulldog and an ancient German hunting dog called the Brabançon. Initially bred as a guard and working dog, it was used for hunting, protection, and even for moving goods.
During World War II, the Boxer served as a war and rescue dog in the German army. After the war, passionate breeders worked to preserve the breed and eliminate health and temperament issues. Today, the Boxer is a popular companion worldwide, known for its cheerful personality and love for humans.
