The Boxer Breed In this video, we visit the breeding of Boxer dogs at the Bouvier Divardan kennel. Highlighting the work of breeder Milena, who started breeding in 2021. Milena mentions the export of a puppy to Venezuela and its connection to dog breeding, emphasizing the importance of health exams on the dogs she breeds. She performs tests for degenerative myelopathy, cardiomyopathy, and hip dysplasia, ensuring the health of the dogs. Milena explains that dog breeding is aging and that the new generation of breeders focuses on technology and health exams. The Boxers she breeds follow strict standards, being tested for breed-specific diseases. She talks about her affiliation with the Boxer Club of America, highlighting the differences between American and European Boxers. We also address the controversial practice of ear and tail cropping, which will be banned in dog shows starting in 2025. Milena mentions that some puppies were taken abroad for the surgery, as it is no longer permitted in Brazil. In addition, different colors of Boxers are mentioned: golden tick, golden tick, brindle tick and brindle tick. White Boxers, which are occasionally born, are sold only as companion animals, due to health issues and breed standards. Milena explains that, to avoid the birth of white Boxers, it is necessary to crossbreed dogs with different markings. We also talk about the history of the Boxer breed, which descends from dogs such as the old English Bulldog and the Bullenbeissers, both extinct. Boxers were developed to hunt and catch prey until the hunter arrived. Today, they are known for their versatility and intelligence, and are even used in police work. Milena presents a puppy named Bonsai, highlighting her good angulations, strong metacarpus and correct proportion between muzzle and skull. The golden tick color is explained, and Milena shows the importance of the black mask on the dog's face. We also discuss the importance of genetic selection to maintain the desired characteristics in the breed. Breeding Boxers involves careful and dedicated work, from genetic selection to socialization of the puppies. Milena emphasizes that the Boxer breed is fascinating and ideal for families, especially those with children. In the video, there is a practical demonstration of a Junior Handler, a competition for children and teenagers to handle dogs in shows, highlighting the importance of the Boxers' light and graceful movement.
