Country of Origin: Germany
History:" He origins come the mid-nineteenth century mating of a small Bullenbeisser (mastiff-type breed) female to a local dog who produced a female who was then mated to an English Bulldog. He was once used for fighting and bull baiting but over the years has become more refined with a non-aggressive temperament".

I got this from a Boxer web site. It says that Boxers were once used for fighting. I had never heard this before. Is this true?
