BOXER DOG HISTORY
There are various good Boxer Dog books available that describe the beginnings of the Boxer breed.
However, not all these books show all the pictures of the important early Boxers. The idea of this page is to bring those pictures together for easy reference.
The Boxers listed here have a number following their name. This is the "Deutsches Boxer Stammbaum Number" (Stammbaum means Family Tree).
If you have any or know the location of any missing pictures, then please e-mail me.
NOTE - With regards to the origin of the name 'BOXER' all the books say the same that no one knows exactly how the name came about! but there are a few common theories:
- It was once called 'Boxl' and 'Boxer' is a corruption of this word.
- Because of the habit of fighting and playing with its front paws.
