While more rare than the brindle or fawn colors, the white Boxer now makes up about 20% of all Boxers in the United States. It seems that until recently, the white Boxer was quite rare simply because the white pup was destroyed at birth to prevent the dog buyer from knowing that the mated couple carried the white gene. This seems to be due to the fact that Boxers were used extensively as police dogs in their native Germany. The white coat was more visable at night, so after 1925 white Boxers were no longer registered, in hopes to rule out the white gene.
We had hoped that Ginger would have a white puppy for us this time, but it was not to be. In fact, Ginger had a beautiful white pup in her last litter, a year ago. That pup is dearly loved by her 'family' , and they brought her back for a visit this summer. Guess we'll just have to wait another year. However, my son's white Boxer is up for stud, so you could have a better chance than we do at having one of these unusual pups. Please see the "Family Photo" page for more info.
