Friday's Boxer of the Day

For today's Boxer of the Day we have this little beauty, a brindle flashy looking very inquisitive.

Notice the natural ears. Boxers have traditonally had their ears cropped so that they stand up straight. I just learned that this was because they were bred to hunt and hold wild boar. It was very likely that the boar could rip an ear, which would have been a very serious injury before 24 hour emergency vets. Now that they don't hunt, people are leaving their ears floppy which I love.

I hope you're all enjoying this new blog feature. The "find a boxer" quest continues. I've found 2 potential breeders in British Columbia and one right here near me. I'm creating my list of breeder questions and the investigation begins!!
