Boxer Dog

The next position on the list of the most popular police dog breeds in the world is the Boxer dog which is a medium to the large, short-haired mastiff-type dog breed that originated in Germany. The coat is smooth and snug; colors include fawn, brindled, or white, with or without white markings. Boxers have brachycephalic skulls (broad, short skulls), a square muzzle, mandibular prognathism (underbite), very strong jaws, and a powerful bite that allows them to hang on to large prey. The Boxer was bred from the Old English Bulldog and the now-extinct Bullenbeisser, which went extinct due to crossbreeding rather than breed decadence. Both The Kennel Club and the American Kennel Club (AKC) Working Group recognize the Boxer.

The Boxer's most distinguishing feature is its head. The breed standard requires that it be in perfect proportion to the body and that it never be too light. The greatest emphasis should be placed on the muzzle's correct form and absolute proportion to the skull. The ratio of the length of the muzzle to the length of the head should be 1:3.

Boxers are a bright, energetic, and playful breed that gets along well with children. They are patient and playful with children while also being protective, making them a popular choice for families. They are active, strong dogs who require regular exercise to avoid boredom-related behaviors like chewing, digging, or licking. Boxers have a reputation for being "headstrong," which can be attributed to improper obedience training.
