The Boxer is a muscular, energetic, and loyal medium-to-large breed, known for its athletic build, short glossy coat, and love for active living. Adults typically stand about 21–25 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh around 65–80 pounds (males), while females tend to be slightly smaller. Boxers are strong, smooth-coated dogs with a proud, confident stance and expressive, alert faces, often making them instantly recognizable and much-loved as family companions or active-lifestyle dogs.
The Boxer is recognized by major kennel clubs worldwide, including the American Kennel Club (AKC), The Kennel Club (UK), and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), with additional support from established breed organizations such as the American Boxer Club.
