The Boxer is a short-haired breed, with a shiny, smooth coat that lies tight to the body. This procedure does not require any anesthesia or sutures when performed at this young age. The tail of a boxer is typically docked before the cartilage is fully formed, between 3-5 days old. In March 2005 the AKC breed standard was changed to include a description of the uncropped ear, but to severely penalize an undocked tail. In the United States and Canada as of 2012, cropped ears are still more common in show dogs, even though the practice of cosmetic cropping is currently opposed by the American Veterinary Medical Association. However, in 2008, the FCI added a "naturally stumpy tail" as a disqualifying fault in their breed standard, meaning those Boxers born with a bobtail can no longer be shown in FCI member countries. A line of naturally short-tailed ( bobtail) Boxers was developed in the United Kingdom in anticipation of a tail docking ban there after several generations of controlled breeding, these dogs were accepted in the Kennel Club (UK) registry in 1998, and today representatives of the bobtail line can be found in many countries around the world. However, due to pressure from veterinary associations, animal rights groups, and the general public, both cropping of the ears and docking of the tail have been prohibited in many countries around the world. īoxers were originally a docked and cropped breed, and this is still done in some countries.

Folds are always present from the root of the nose running downwards on both sides of the muzzle, and the tip of the nose should lie somewhat higher than the root of the muzzle. The length of the muzzle to the whole of the head should be a ratio of 1:3. The greatest value is to be placed on the muzzle being of correct form and in absolute proportion to the skull. The breed standard dictates that it must be in perfect proportion to the body and above all it must never be too light. The head is the most distinctive feature of the Boxer.
