Guest Anonymous Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 Black Boxers were used in the war as guard dogs but solid black boxers have been non existant for quite some time. :D Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 17, 2002 Posted August 17, 2002 I recall seeing a black and white boxer, same as a fawn and white in markings... He was a sleek looking dog... but that was some time ago. Is this not a standard color or is it something genetic? Quote

Various shades Fawn and Brindle(with white markings not to exceed one third of their body) are the only standard coat colors.....Whites and Checks are common ,but aren't recognized as an accepted color. "Black" boxers nowadays are referred to as "reverse brindles" ,meaning that the black brindle striping is so heavy that you can't see the fawn base coat,giving the impression of an all black boxer.Supposedly when these dogs are standing in direct sunlight you can see the striping pattern,but there ARE breeders who claim that they have pure black boxers with no brindling,whatsoever.... at least thats what I've read..... :wink: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 17, 2002 Posted August 17, 2002 Thanks smooshie! I remember that the dog I saw was at the beach... but as to weather it was sunny or not... well around here it's not sunny alot at the beaches. I just remember the dog bounding through the waves in typical maniac boxer fashion! :D Quote
deepseasnake Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 typical maniac boxer fashion yet another line I will use in my everyday speach thank you hazel I remember a topic not to long ago talking about black boxers and (if I remember correctly) after about 5 pages of EVERYONE telling the poor guest author there was no such thing and she didn't have one someone came up with a link to a black boxer webring and a homepage of a "breeder" it was an interesting read, but I reallt doubt I would buy a dog from that breeder Quote
Smooshie Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 yup....if there was a way to generate PINK boxers with white polka dots, SOME "reputable" breeder would be breeding them :roll: :wink: Ooooh....I found a website that has pics of the original black boxers from Germany.Their body type was SO much heavier back then.....much more mastiff-like... http://www.moloss.com/001/breed/b/b006/ Quote
deepseasnake Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 wow those were some amazing dogs I liked the picture of the soldiers very powerful looking dogs Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 Yes they do refer to them as reverse brindle... In fact saw an ad for one today that said Black boxer... of course it is going to be reverse brindle... :D Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 My friend has a reverse brindle, but she's white as well. Funny little dog...she knows exactly when everyone should be home from work/school and she's only a year! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 Wait....she's not that little of a dog....she IS a boxer! Quote
deepseasnake Posted August 24, 2002 Posted August 24, 2002 actually gigi you might be suprised I know a boxer that is SUPER small and have met a couple of really small "runts" I think "faith" is 15-20lbs and she is 2 years old, really good health but also really small! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2002 Posted August 24, 2002 Really? Oh, Sophie is not that way. She's got some long, lean legs on her! That's interesting to know! Man, I'm learning a lot tonight! Thanks! :D Quote
deepseasnake Posted August 24, 2002 Posted August 24, 2002 but hey the dog that turned me on to boxers "Otto" was around 130 pounds I was a 400 meter sprinter and held 3 district records and 1 state, I used to run with dogs for training and try to tire them out. It was great conditioning for me, cuz dogs really dont run out of steem. But Otto could run twice as fast as me for a mile and not break a sweat and he was FAST to this day I've never met a dog faster or fitter Quote
