As boxers don't come in black AFAIK is this a black brindle? or a mix?I would guess the info is the same as that for fawn or light brindle boxers. You can start at www.akc.org or go to a search engine and just see all the boxer pages.

I have never in my life seen a black boxer. Does it have papers??? Does it have white markings at all or is it pure black? Some boxers come in a very dark brindle that looks almost black, but they still have white markings. Do you have any photos?

I have to agree with the others...I have never heard of a black boxer either and I have even researched this. My dog is black and looks just a like a boxer, but she is a bull boxer (pit bull boxer mix) are you sure the dog is full boxer...

Sorry, but there are no such types as black boxers. They are either brindle, fawn, (both with varying shades of coloring) or white. Some people like to say they have a black boxer, but in reality it is a very dark brindle w/very little fawn striping. Regardless of the color, get some boxer books from the library and read up on the breed and start obedience classes asap. Good luck with your new furkid.

If you still know the number or address of the people who gave him to you you should call them and ask for his papers and ask if he is a full blood :wink:

I just found this site and Yes I own Black Boxers and they are Black not a brindle mark on them and they have white markings and are AKC registered. They are very hard to come by but you can find them if you look hard enough. :lol:

For the person who claims to have black boxers, what color are your adults and pup registered as, and I will again state that there are no black boxers. There are very dark brindles whose bit of fawn can barely be seen.

Again, I have SOLID BLACK BOXERS they are registered brindle but you CANNOT find any fawn markings on them at all. Reverse Brindles you can see fawn markings on them and I have a reverse brindle also. They are JET BLACK even in FULL SUN. Look on the net and you will find black boxers for sale. SO yes,there are black boxers. Also, some boxers are registered brindle but have maybe a small brindle mark on them, so you can't go by how they are registered.

Well as this is genetically highly unlikely to occur in a breed of fawn and brindle dogs my guess would be some other breed was slipped in and that breeders producing these incorrect dogs are not the ethical ones.
I cannot recall reading in any dog genetics books about the Br gene mutating back to the B (though the breaking of the B to the Br does occur)
but even if it is a possible mutation no ethical breeder breeds out of standard dogs so that leaves these breeders with another designation.

I did'nt believe there was any black boxers until I entered the query into the google search engine and one of the sites it came up with was: http://amysboxers.8m.com/custom.html so the guy is right after all.

They look like lovely mixbred dogs but not boxers.

from the AKC breed standard by the boxer club in the US
"Disqualifications--Boxers that are any color other than fawn or brindle."

from the UK standard
"Colour
Fawn or brindle. White markings acceptable not exceeding one-third of ground colour.
Fawn: Various shades from dark deer red to light fawn.
Brindle: Black stripes on previously described fawn shades, running parallel to ribs all over body. Stripes contrast distinctly to ground colour, neither too close not too thinly dispersed. Ground colour clear, not intermingling with stripes"

from the FCI standard under faults
"Colour: Boxers with white or black ground colour, or entirely white or black or any other colour than fawn or brindle. (White markings are allowed but must not exceed one-third (1/3) of the ground colour). "

No responsible breeder would be breeding dogs that do not meet the breed standard at all.
