White Boxers

i have a white boxer who is now 2 years old, we got her as a pup at 8 weeks old. white boxers are seen as a fault in the blood line and unfortunately are usually put down when born. they can also be deaf or blind but on most occasions are fine. its very important to make sure white boxers dont spend too much time in the sun as they can get cancers, we use zinc cream on our boxers nose and ears. our boxer also has two larger ribs than usuall which is another fault associated with having a white boxer but other than a few small things there is nothin wrong with a white boxer apart from a few small things they are happy healthy dogs that still have beautiful boxer natures and make wonderful pets.

Not to start a debate but to say the white boxer is not as healthy as the colored ones is a gross understatement. You must look at these findings as this, the white boxers that are often found to be deaf and or maybe blind often end up in shelters are then often there because of being bought from BYB’s and or pet-store’s/puppy-mill’s.

Yes whites do carry the gene to be deaf, but from a reputable breeder they only have about a 5-8% chance of being deaf. There are no other heath concerns with whites that differ from their colored brethren.

You can’t breed out white boxers they come out basically whether you like it or not when you breed a flashy to a flashy you have a 25% chance of getting a white pup.

I have a 6 yr old all white male that is perfectly healthy and never had any health problems associated with the boxer breed. It was common practice to cull white pups born in a litter because they weren’t standard but many breeders are letting people adopt them as companions now. Unfortunately, in Europe, there is still a good number of breeder that still cull the white pups.

White boxers started to be per say “breed out” when they started to use the breed as a working dog more and when it become a war dog, the white color kinda stands out on the front line. One of the foundation females was white.
