By nature, Boxers are working dogs. Throughout history they have been trained as hunting dogs, police dogs, seeing-eye dogs for the blind, guard dogs, circus dogs, courier dogs on the battlefields during World War I and World War II, fighting dogs in the once popular sport of dog fighting and more. The American Kennel Club (AKC) categorizes all dog breeds into 7 groups: · herding · hound · non-sporting · sporting · terrier · toy · working And the largest breed registered in the working dog category is the Boxer. By the way, the AKC registered over 150 different breeds totaling nearly one million dogs in 2003. To put that in perspective, the animal shelters in America rescue up to 12 million homeless dogs and cats every year and 25% of these are purebreds. So please consider this when looking for a dog to add to your home.
