In 1896, the very first Boxer club, named Deutscher Boxers club, was founded. In 1894, three Boxer admirers decided to work for the promotion and preservation of this breed, for which they enrolled Boxers for dog shows. This modern female Bullenbeisser was then coupled with a Bulldog, resulting in the birth of the very first modern Boxer, Flocki.įlocki was the first boxer to win the Munich show and to record his name in the German stud book. George named this first litter Lechner’s box, which further bred to produce different types of litter, including a female called alt’s schecken. As a result of this crossbreeding, a white and fawn male was born, which is believed to be one of the Boxer’s ancestors. In the 19th century, a Munich named George Alt bred a local dog with a brindle female Bullenbeisser. For centuries, this German Bullenbeisser was used by hunters to catch and entangle prey, but soon, it got replaced by other dogs that were newer and faster hunting.Īfter this, these Bullenbeisser dogs began to work for farmers as guard dogs.
