Default White Boxers

Quote:
The colors are fawn and brindle. Fawn shades vary from light tan to mahogany. The brindle ranges from sparse but clearly defined black stripes on a fawn background to such a heavy concentration of black striping that the essential fawn background color barely, although clearly, shows through...
...Disqualifications Boxers that are any color other than fawn or brindle. Boxers with a total of white markings exceeding one-third of the entire coat.
Certainly in the US, the AKC does not go so far as to state that White Puppies ought to be destroyed!!! While the Breed Standard Disqualifies White Boxers as SHOW DOGS, the puppies can be registered with the AKC like any other "purebred" dog. The White Boxer is NO LESS a WONDERFUL PET than any other Boxer. The elevated rate of deafness is there, AND as others have said-- sunscreen is required. Where I personally believe one of the problem lies is with a Breeder who is COUNTING ON the Naive Customer. This Breeder charges $700 for his puppies, instead of $1000-- the same for everyone, including the Whites! Financially, there IS a difference between a "Show" & "Pet" quality animal-- nevermind one who every ethical lover of the breed believes you SHOULD NEVER BREED! ...and most people DO agree that White Boxers ought not be bred. BY THE WAY: "HI!!! Hello! I'm Mia and I'm new here-- but am a 20 year lover of Boxers! I never want a different breed of dog!"
