There are lots of boxers around where I live. It's one of those areas where you get a lot of bigger, more active breeds. Lots of space to run a boxer.

Couple of them are brindles. But I tend to see the fawns (didn't know they were classed as fawn ) more often.

I like the fawns, but I've always had a soft spot for brindles. Same with the staffordshire bulls. Really like that full brindle patterning. There's something about the way the muscles move underneath that just looks good.


[eta] saw a documentary about Crufts and showdogs in the Uk recently. Shocking stuff. Breed clubs are only really now taking on board the need for expanding their gene pools. They've essentially bred in a 50-50 chance of Cardiomyopathy or thereabouts.

Worse, in the UK, two or three star studs have so dominated the Boxer breed that it's hit something like 75% chance amongst the showlines. And the one that is most embedded and clearly siring large numbers of pups which go onto develop it, is still being bred from.
