Appearance
[edit]Build and proportions
[edit]
The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (International Canine Organization) defines the Boxer's overall build as "a medium sized, smooth coated, sturdy dog of compact, square build and strong bone", dictating that "The Boxer must be neither cumbersome nor heavy, nor light or lacking in body substance."[1] As Boxers are brachycephalic (short, broad skulls),[2] particular emphasis is often placed upon the head as a distinctive feature of the breed.[3] The proportionate length of the muzzle to the skull varies among different kennel clubs: The FCI and United Kennel Club dictates such a ratio as one-to-two,[1][4] while the American Kennel Club and New Zealand Kennel Club prescribes a one-to-three ratio.[5][6]
