I love boxers their the best kind of breed to me.Where does the name come from,what are they like,what kinds are there.I know what they are like because i own two boxers.I do not know the exact reason of why they are named but in my opinions they are named boxers because they box with their paws.They are friendly and energetic i mean literally if you go outside for five minutes they will lick you to death.And i believe their are three their might be more but im not sure , they are , brendle , white, and black. Brendle is the most common that is were they are broen and have black stripes on they're back.White and black are rare they can, they usually are purebred, but they can not not preform in dog shows,And for that reason people kill white and black boxers,sad right.
