The Boxer traces its roots to Munich, Germany in the 19th century.
The foundation of the breed was meticulously documented at the time, and the American Boxer Club tells the story on their website. It’s rather complex, and they admit you deserve an award if you can follow it!
To cut a long story short, the Boxer was derived from several popular hunting breeds of the time.
The aim was to consolidate all the traits they admired in those breeds, and fix them in one, definitive dog.
