Boxers were developed in Germany in the late 1800s from older mastiff-type hunting dogs. They kept the strength and traded the job for a full-time career in comedy. Bouncy, affectionate and endlessly expressive, they're No. 18 on the AKC's 2025 list.
A Boxer's face does a lot of talking. The square, upturned muzzle, the dark mask, the forehead that wrinkles when they're curious and those dark, soulful eyes are what make the breed so recognizable. Fawn and brindle Boxers, often with flashy white markings, both look striking in paint. Because Boxers are so expressive, the right photo is simply the one that shows your dog's particular brand of mischief.
