Origin - The Boxer is a working dog that was developed in Germany from several other breeds, including the Bulldog and the Great Dane.The Boxer's ancestors are believed to be two German mastiff type dogs, the Bullenbeiszer and the Barenbeiszer. They were later crossed with the powerful ancestors of the Mastiff and Bulldog. Early on, these dogs were prized for hunting, bull baiting, pulling objects, cattle herding etc. They were also popular circus and theater dogs because they learned tricks so easily.
