The contemporary Boxer breed is a descendant of the ancient Roman Molossus – and has an interesting history. In the 1800’s, the Germans bred a Molossus variant called the Bullenbeisser, while the British bred their own Molossus variants into the English Bulldog. Eventually, the two varieties were interbred in Germany, resulting in the forefathers of today’s Boxer.

In 1895, the first breed club was established in Munich, and standards were formalized. This breed was first recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1904 and made part of the Working Group.
