Boxer Puppies – Brief History

It is recorded that this breed of dogs originated from the Brabanter Bullenbeisser and can be traced back to Belgium. Elite individuals in Germany are said to have used the Brabanter Bullenbeisser when they went hunting for wild boar. It was by the 1800’s that this dog was associated with cattle dealers.

As time moved on many changes took place. It is believed that around the year 1830, an early form of the English bulldog was crossed with the Brabanter Bullenbeisser thus giving rise to a new breed – the Boxer. This new breed was white in color!

The Boxer was bred to bite, chase and hold on to small game. This animal reached America with U.S soldiers bringing it home after World War II.
