Interesting fact about boxers!
This loyal working dog breed has held a key role beside humans on the job. Like the German Shepherd , Boxers are routinely trained as part of K9 units, assisting with police work. In the 1800s, their hunting pasts made them a staple of the German police force.
Boxers also had a career in both World War I and World War II. These pups carried army packages, distributed important messengers, and served as attack dogs on the frontlines. 6
Today, their acute skills and guard-like instincts lead this breed into the vital role of assisting individuals suffering from physical impairments like blindness. In addition, their affectionate personality means they are often employed as therapy dogs and can be found frequenting nursing homes and schools.
