A Boxer Dog gift is a unique and personalized gift idea for any family which owns the Boxer breed of dog. Boxers are protective, yet eager to please their owners and family as well as loving and playful. They are energetic and require exercise which is an idea characteristic for a family with children. Those who own Boxers are enamored of the breed and enjoy owning pillows, snow globes and stationary with Boxers on them.
The Boxers originated in Germany over 100 years ago. It is believed that the Boxer breed derived from the Brabanter Bullenbeisser which can be be traced back to Belgium. This dog was described as a strong and agile dog, much as the Boxer is today. Used by the wealthy in Germany to help in the hunting of wild boar, their ears were cropped to prevent any potential injuries and tears from encounters with the boars.
Around 1830 it is believed that an early form of the English Bulldog was crossed with the Brabanter Bullenbeisser producing the Boxer breed. The crossed dogs were white in color, much like the white Boxers today that are banned from confirmation shows and not accepted as a proper color.
In 1925 the white Boxer was no longer accepted as a proper color for the breed. This change change might have been due to the fact that if the Boxer was to be used for police work it would need to be of a darker color so as to not be seen at night.
The origin of any dog breed is usually helpful in determining if that breed is an appropriate choice for your family and lifestyle. A Boxer Dog Gift is a special gift for those that are suited for Boxers.
