Boxers are of the working type. Males can weigh about 65 to 80 lbs and get up to2 to 25 in in height.

Boxers are from Germany and their name is from the boxing motion they make with their front paws. Boxers are quick to learn and are patient. They are also extemely loyal.

They carry themselves with pride, but are never arrogant. They have a stoic stance, and are intelligent, loving, delightful companions.

Boxers are stocky and medium in size with strong jaws and a powerful bite. They are widely used in search and rescue, police work, and military work.

The Boxer has a shorthaired coat, which is shiny, smooth, and fits tightly to the body. The coat comes in such colors as fawn, red, and brindle, with "flashings" of white on their underbelly, chest, and all four feet. In some cases the "flashing" will appear on their face. The Boxer is an average shedder that sheds year round.

They exhibit curiosity, but are wary of strangers. This breed is fearless and courageous if threatened. They are keenly alert and have a heightened sense of hearing, which make them excellent guard dogs. The Boxer adores children and other pets they have been raised with. They have an inordinate need for human companionship and do not like to be alone for extended periods of time. They are not well suited for a two career family. Insufficient attention may lead them into "bad" behavior in an attempt to be noticed.

The Boxers tight, short coat requires minimal grooming. Occasional brushing with a firm bristle brush is recommended. Bathing should only be done when absolutely necessary to ensure the essential oils are not stripped from their skin. The Boxer is typically clean and will groom themselves. This breed has some major health concerns such as cardiomyopathy, sub-aortic stenosis, and hip dysplasia. They may also be prone to tumors, epilepsy, Allergies, and skin problems. A proper diet is absolutely essential due to their sensitive stomach and tendency toward excessive flatulence. The Boxer is an indoor pet as their short coat cannot protect them from cold climates.

The Boxer enjoys regular play and outdoor exercise. They thrive on playing with their family and do best with a medium sized fenced yard. It is important to keep them stimulated and occupied indoors to prevent destruction brought about by boredom. The Boxer will do okay in an apartment if they are sufficiently and regularly exercised

Obedience training is essential. They require a dominant owner capable of controlling them. They do not respond well to harsh treatment. Training must consist of fairness, firmness, and consistency. Boxers do well in competitive obedience and love to learn and perform tricks.

Boxer dogs were originally bred to bite your testicals off

ok boxers were not originally bred for biting testicals off they were bred for hunnting and showing who ever the put that stupid answer well i dont tknow what to say well do your reading before you try to be smart

Um... I have a white boxer myself, along with a dog book called "Dog Lover's Companion" with editor Paul McGreevy, Copyright 2004. In the section where it talks about Boxers, it says this (And I'm quoting straight from the text):

"Developed in Germany from Mastiff-type dogs, the Boxer was originally used in bull-baiting and eventually crossed with the Bulldog to improve the ability. It was little known outside its country of origin until after World War II, when returning U.S. soldiers took some home."

I hope this helps from other answers. You'll find that in most dog breeds, they were bred for some purpose such as hunting or keeping watch to help with people's every day lives.

The boxer dogs were developed to be capable of bull baiting and dog fighting. They Originated in Germany, and were the descendants of European strains of bulldogs and possibly Great Danes. During WW2 they lost a great deal of their popularity but soon gained it right back as people began to discover what a wonderful guard dog they made.

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.
