Best Answer

Boxer dogs got the name boxers because they use their front paws just like professional boxers do. they stand on their back feet and and jump hitting the object with their front feet and then will continue to hit. this is normally done when the dog is excited or threatened.

There are other theories as to why boxers are called "Boxers"

Is there a difference between the dog breeds American boxer and boxer?

No. An American Bulldog is one breed in itself, thought to have been created by breeding English bulldogs and bull terriers. The Boxer was from Germany, with records going back to the 1880s. Before that their history is more spotty. The ancestors of Boxers were the German Bullenbeisser (a Mastiff type dog also called the Brabant Bullenbeisser), and the English Bulldog. The Brabant Bullenbeisser is accepted as the immediate ancestor of the Boxer. The Brabanter was crossed with the English Bulldog to startthe line that would become the Boxer. In 1894, three Germans by the name of Roberth, Konig, and Hopner decided to work with the breed and enter it in a dog show. This was done in Munich in 1895, and the next year they founded the first Boxer Club.
