Despite what some people may say about the white boxer dog... or white boxer puppy, they are quite possibly the best of the breed!!! Why you ask?
Unfortunately, some people still believe that the white Boxer dog or white boxer puppy is the least favorable of the boxer breed. They argue that boxers born white are more prone to illness or more aggressive than the other more traditionally colored dogs of the breed.
For those of us who are lucky enough to love a white boxer puppy...this couldn't be further from the truth!
He has had one tumor (removed when he was very little) and been healthy as can be ever since.
Regardless of the thousands of us out there who can testify to the wonders of a white boxer, there is a lot of misinformation out there.
Hopefully we can clear some of it up.
White boxer dogs are actually very gentle (and quite comical) animals, worthy of the same attention and praise that the
fawn
or
brindle
receive.
I have a 4 year old white boxer dog named "Blizzard" who is neither sick nor agressive. Yup, he's the one on my
homepage
From my experience, white boxer dogs are such loving animals, I couldn't imagine owning another breed (or color). And most of the bad publicity the white boxer dog receives is usually false.
Believe it or not, most white boxer dogs aren't sick or blind...or rare.In fact, 25% of all boxers dogs born are white! And statistically, the majority of them are born healthy.
Boxers born white are not albino nor are they a result of birth defects. However, the white gene is recessive and therefore, both the female and male boxer must carry the genetic code for a boxer puppy to come out all white. Much like that of a human baby and hair color- two brunette adults don’t always make a brunette baby!
Even still, most white boxers have darker colored spots….and you can see from the picture below, Blizzard (my white boxer) almost looks like a Dalmation in the right light!!! I’ve noticed that his spots tend to get darker the more time he spends in the sun. Living in Southern Florida required that we keep him inside during the hottest times of the day.
Check out Northeastern Boxer Rescue. They do a good job of dispelling some of the more common
white boxer myths
that are floating around

While this may be true, white boxer dogs are still not recognized and cannot compete competitvely in show. But for those of us who love our boxer for the unconditional love and happiness they bring to our lives...we couldn't care less.
