Boxer Dog Pic

Not any Boxer Dog pic placed on a website of a breed fancier or a breeder features a high quality dog that corresponds to the current breed standard. If you are going to buy a high quality dog that can be shown or bred, you have to learn the breed standard thoroughly to distinguish between show quality and pet quality dogs. Novice owners who want to have a high quality dog, but know little on the breed have to turn to breed specialists for help.

The Boxer is recognized by all major canine organizations: the AKC, FCI, KCGB, UKC, CKC, NKC, ANKC, CCR, NZKC, CKC, ACR, and APRI. Breed standard may vary a little depending on the country of the dog’s origin and the association it was registered by. Prior to purchasing a purebred dog for shows, learn the breed standard adopted in your country. Most purebreds in the USA are registered by the AKC (American Kennel Club) and conform to its standards. You can see an “ideal” Boxer Dog pic on the AKC’s official website.

A breed standard not only features a Boxer Dog pic, but also explains the head and body proportions of an ideal representative of the breed. A breed standard lists all possible faults that may disqualify a dog from the show ring. A dog with a fault can make a good pet, if it has a typical personality of the breed.

Some breeders who don’t care about the improvement of the breed in general and the future of their dogs in particular produce mediocre quality puppies for sale. They care for profit only and rely on impulsive buyers who can buy a puppy or a dog after seeing an attractive Boxer Dog on a breeder’s website. Puppies produced for profit are prone to a variety of health disorders, because their parents were not screened for hereditary illnesses. Backyard breeders don’t care about socializing and training their puppies and keep them in small cages. As a result, such puppies will be difficult to housetrain and live with. Dogs from irresponsible breeders often end up in shelters and rescues. Never rely on a Boxer Dog pic when choosing a pet.
