Types of Boxers?

[jessic]

I was wondering if there are different types of boxers? I don't think so, but I got told today that there is from a guy at work. I know that boxers look slightly different around the world, but they are still "boxers" right?? there is no "King Boxer" or "Mini Boxer" right? This guy was certain that there is, but I don't believe him, Is he loopy or am I??:D

Your work friend needs some education - a boxer is a boxer - certainly no "king" or "mini".

There is a fairly new "designer" breed called a mini boxer. Most do not even have any Boxer blood at all. People pass off these crosses that are created as another form of a breed, which is sad and can be confusing to people just learning about Boxers. There is only one true boxer breed although they may very from country to country in breeding and looks, there is only one "Boxer".

There are actually two different types of Boxers.....
Crazy and Insane.
Sometimes the crazy ones can be a bit insane and oftentimes the insane ones are crazy.
Other than that they are all the SAME! :D
Just a little Boxer humor!
There is only one for real Boxer.

Is there American boxer breeds and European (German) boxer breeds? Could have sworn someone somewhere said there were. If I remember right, they said the "American" breed is a bit smaller and not as muscular. The "European" breed is quite muscular and a bit heavier. Is this right?

Nope The BREED is BOXER no matter where you are. Boxers in America and Boxers in Europe may differ slightly in appearance, but more appropriate to refer to those as differences in "style." They are definitely the same breed though.

This site explains it well IMO:
BOXERS AROUND THE WORLD

Thanks for your reply's, I knew I wasn't loopy, A boxer is a Boxer, even though they can very in "style", they are still "boxer's". Thanks for the link Caney, very insightful! How my work friend and I got on the topic, was I was telling him how I was at the dog park with Dom and he was playing with 2 other boxers. One was just a little taller then him, and the other was like huge! I would guess he was like 100lbs. Thats when my friend "informs" me that there are different "types" of boxers. I said, no, a boxer is a boxer, they just vary on size alot. But he insisted that there were various types. So I just thought I would ask around to double check. Although I do agree with Cami, boxers do come in crazy and insane!!

You forgot the designer "cra-sane" ones. Like Johann....he's only half crazy. But the other half is insane. :D

I actually have a hybrid boxer - he's about 2/3rds of the "completely nuts" breed variant, and 1/3rd "loudly napping". He's got a trace of the "comically farting" breed in him, as well. He's a "Cranapfartoodle". Very rare hybrid.
