The boxer is a brachycephalic breed, meaning that it has a very
short muzzle with the lower jaw extending beyond the upper jaw
(undershot). While this gives the dog a very secure bite (remember the
breed was first developed for hunting and holding prey) it also means he
has difficulty in regulating body temperature, and does not do well in
very hot or cold conditions, he may also snore.
The Boxer's most notable characteristic is his desire for human affection.
Though his spirited bearing, square jaw, and cleanly muscled body suggests
the well-conditioned middleweight athlete, the Boxer is happiest when he
is with people--especially children, watching protectively over their
play. His short smooth coat, handsome chiseled head, and striking
silhouette never fail to excite comments from passersby as he trots
jauntily by your side with neck arched and tail held erect. He is truly a
"dog for all seasons," suiting the need for household guardian,
attractive companion, and children's playmate and loyal friend.
