Unfortunately, Boxers are a breed that are currently suffering from a lack of genetic diversity and inherited disease. Boxers are prone to epilepsy, causing seizures and fits, which need regular medication to control. Not all Boxers are affected, but many pedigree lines suffer from a wide range of illnesses. It is caused by inbreeding mostly, and is a result of matings between close relatives. This causes illnesses such as epilepsy to be present and can be passed down through generations. Before breeding a Boxer, always ensure that it is healthy and that it has had all relevant health tests for inherited disease.
