Hi, welcome to the board.
This is the absolute BEST place for boxer information, support, laughs...
We also have a white boxer, Remy. He's 8 years old.
White boxers are "known" for a "tendency" to have more health problems. That's a generalization and not a 100% sure thing your white boxer will have more problems than a colored boxer.
As for showing, the AKC standard for boxers states that a boxer may not have more than 1/3 of its coat white, therefore white boxers are excluded from comformation showing.
If you're interested, I have a website where you can see Remy. http://www.geocities.com/jonzinboxers/index.html?968733425190

Hello to another white boxer owner. I have a white female boxer with a fawn patch over her right eye. I am all for them being able to be shown, but like one reply said, it cannot be over 1/3 of the body. I have been getting all of this information regarding white boxers being more susceptible to deafness and blindness and some other problems. My puppy is healthy so far and I don't think that they have any more problems than the brindle or fawn boxers, same thing just different colors. There is a ton of information out there on the boxer websites and any dog websites. Some of it should answer any concerns or questions that you may have.
