long hair boxer

[evolvedn2]

Has anyone ever seen a long hair boxer? My little baby boy has long hair not real long but longer. I was curious if anyone has ever seen this before in a boxer.

This is a picture of my baby its hard to see his longer hair in this picture but if you look at his ears you can see it. I will try to find a better picture if anyone has ever seen this before let me know thanks.

I believe the standard for a boxer's coat is " short, smooth, shiny and tight to the body."

I met a "long haired boxer" at the park a while back. Turns out she's part lab. :D

Thats what is so unique about my boy both his parents were Boxers no mix at all, all his charecteristics are boxer charecteristics
his stance, head, markings and chest. I will try to find a better picture than the one a posted in the previous post thanks for your reply.

The boxer I met was exactly the same way. Looked like a boxer, except the texture and length of her coat.

I'd be suspicious that somewhere along the line another breed is involved.

I understand (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong), that a litter of puppies can have more than one sire.

Gretel has longer hair than most boxers, but I'm not entirely convinced she's purebred. That said, I wouldn't discount the possibility that a longhaired purebred boxer could result from either a spontaneous mutation or a rare recessive gene.

I agree that a boxer doesn't have to be "mixed" with anything to have a longer coat. While it is common for North American bred boxers to have very short coats, I have heard that some lines from the UK tend to produce boxers with longer hair.

I'm not talking golden retriever long, just longer that of the average North American boxer.

Thanks for the post I checked out vaboxer.com those two are cute as can be. And also thanks for the info on the UK breed I will look into that.
