Title: catch dog
Post by: Sam3030 on September 05, 2011, 10:44:12 am
Does anyone use boxers as catch dogs? I have one that's about 2 years old took him out to see some hogs in a trap and he went crazy so we pulled one of the hogs out and he went straight for the ear everytime...he was very fast and locked pretty good

Never seen or owned one, but heard of a couple that liked them pretty good.

Developed in Germany, the Boxer is a breed of stocky, medium-sized, short-haired dog. The coat is smooth and fawn or brindled, with or without white markings. Boxers are brachycephalic (they have broad, short skulls), and have a square muzzle, mandibular prognathism (an underbite), very strong jaws and a powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The Boxer was bred from the English Bulldog and the now extinct Bullenbeisser and is part of the Molosser group.

maybe this will help ya out
