COMMENT ON TOP5 ODG – REVISION STANDARD BOXER FCI – MEETING 4/6/2021
In this first phase of the constitution, we must consider that the WUBOX is an organism created just a year ago, and we need to make ourselves known in the world of boxer and international cynophilia.
Demonstrate our organizational, technical skills, to work with seriousness and passion.
It is also true that its basic components are the cornerstones of world breeding : the Germany nation holding the standard, strong in its traditions and organization capillary in the control of native breeding, and severe guardian of the dog-breeding roots of the race.
Italy, which is also well-structured, is full of experienced breeders and is able to achieve consistently top international sports results, which share passion and experience together with a strong sense of respect for health of the boxer, carrying out controls in order to eliminate or to check various pathologies, without neglecting the characteristic aspect of the breed, also subjected to tests that determine the positive value, beyond the high morphological quality reached by the breed.
To add also the quality and the ferment that exists in other European nations of great tradition, that have demonstrated their skills and their interest in the boxer, becoming the “cradle” and making a strong contribution to the development of the race : it is the proof of this constitution of ours “organism”.
But in my opinion, we must have patience , this document must be analyzed at various levels in our field, also involving other components such as the Commission on Health, and I dare say a Committee Judges, which we will have to discuss ; all topics that need to be expanded and that it is right to address specifically in meetings “with presence”, and not in online meetings; to enrich the quality, and be ready and aware to deal with the competent bodies of the official Cynophilia.
The proposal made jointly by our Breeding and Show Offices, that I have already praised for their ability and desire to do, can be a good starting point, an incentive to discuss and try to deepen and find together the right solutions.
I do not think it is appropriate at this time to face up to this challenge, we are now planning the events we have proposed, we are showing what we have set up for, and then we can continue to work on these issues in parallel.
Even beyond that, considerations about white boxers, and interpretations of the Standard by some nation. Up to, if necessary, an amending draft of the Standard – this can be the goal! –
As a second phase, I think it is more useful, that the Breeding Commission (maybe strengthened), can make an assessment on the state of the breed, analyzing the situation in individual countries, make reports and discuss with a representation of the Judges “Specialists”; create guidelines (deliberate by the Wubox) to follow in the shows of the various Boxer Club Associates and in our Championships, to direct the breeding, focusing on the most common strengths and weaknesses at this time.

Betreff: Boxer breed standard discussion
Dear Colleagues!
During the online meetings of the two commissions, we did some work on the detailing of the current breed standard (please see attached). We are convinced that our common task is not to change the existing Boxer breed standard, but only to clarify certain issues in more detail, and to divide faults into three categories.
For more serious and open discussion, we left the issue of white color.
Therefore, we would like to ask the WUBOX Member countries to openly discuss, add to, or renew formulations of the points worked out in the attachment regarding the standard.
We are waiting your comments, ideas, additions till 04.07.2021!
With the results obtained from this, we would like to ask the German Boxer Club in WUBOX Presidium tomake a meeting with responsible persons in Boxer Club Munich – as the leader of the standard for presentation of our ideas.

TRANSLATION: Mrs C. Seidler, revised by Mrs Sporre-Willes and
R. Triquet. Revised by J. Mulholland 2008. Official language (DE).
ORIGIN: Germany.
DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL VALID STANDARD: 01.04.2008.
UTILIZATION: Companion, Guard and Working Dog.
FCI-CLASSIFICATION:
Group 2 Pinscher and Schnauzer- Molossoid breeds- Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs.
Section 2.1 Molossoid breeds,mastiff type.
With working trial.
BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: The small, so called Brabant Bullenbeisser is regarded as the immediate ancestor of the Boxer. In the past, the breeding of these Bullenbeissers was in the hands of the huntsmen, whom they assisted during the hunt. Their task was to seize the game put up by the hounds and hold it firmly until the huntsman arrived and put an end to the prey. For this job the dog had to have jaws as wide as possible with widely spaced teeth, in order to bite firmly and hold on tightly. A Bullenbeisser which had these characteristics was best suited to this job and was used for breeding. Previously, only the ability to work and utilization were considered. Selective breeding was carried out which produced a dog with a wide muzzle and an upturned nose.
GENERAL APPEARANCE: The Boxer is a medium sized, smooth coated, sturdy dog of compact, square build and strong bone. His muscles are taut, strongly developed and moulded in appearance.
His movement is lively, powerful with noble bearing. The Boxer must be neither cumbersome nor heavy, nor light or lacking in body substance.
IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS:
- Length of body / Height at withers: Square build, which means that the horizontal line of the back is perpendicular to the vertical line passing through the point of shoulder and to the other vertical line passing through the point of buttock, thus defining a square outline.
- Depth of brisket / Height at withers: The chest reaches to the elbows. Depth of chest is half the height at
- Length of nose bridge / Length of head: Length of nose bridge in relation to skull should be 1:2 (measured respectively from tip of nose to inner corner of eye and from inner corner of eye to occiput).
BEHAVIOUR / TEMPERAMENT: The Boxer should be fearless self-confident, calm and equable. Temperament is of the utmost importance and requires careful attention. Devotion and loyalty towards his master and his entire household, his watchfulness and self-assured courage as a defender are famous. He is harmless with his family but distrustful of strangers. Happy and friendly in play, yet fearless in a serious situation. Easy to train on account of his willingness to obey, his pluck and courage, natural keenness, and scent capability. Undemanding and clean, he is just as agreeable and appreciated in the family circle as he is as a guard, companion and working dog. His character is trustworthy, with no guile or cunning, even in old age.
HEAD: This gives the Boxer his characteristic look. Must be in good proportion to the body and appear neither too light nor too heavy. Muzzle should be as broad and powerful as possible. The harmony of the head depends on the balance between muzzle and skull.
From whichever direction the head is viewed, from front, above or sideways, the muzzle must always be in the right proportion to the skull i.e. it must never appear too small. It should be clean, not showing any wrinkle. However, natural folds are formed in the cranial region when alerted. From root of nose, folds are always indicated running in a downward direction on both sides.
The dark mask is confined to the muzzle and must be in sharp contrast to the colour of the head so that the face does not appear sombre.
CRANIAL REGION:
Skull: The cranial region should be as lean and angular as possible. It is slightly arched, neither too round and short, nor flat; nor should it be too broad. Occiput not too pronounced. Furrow in forehead only slightly marked, must not be too deep, especially between the eyes.
Stop: The forehead forms a distinct stop with the bridge of nose. Bridge of nose must not be forced back into the forehead as in the Bulldog, nor should it be downfaced.
FACIAL REGION:
Nose: Nose is broad and black and only slightly turned up with wide nostrils. Tip of nose is placed slightly higher than root of nose.
Muzzle: The muzzle is powerfully developed in three-dimensional volume, neither pointed nor narrow, nor short or shallow. Its appearance is influenced by:
- Shape of jaw. b) Position of canine teeth. c) Shape of lips. The canines must be placed as far apart as possible and must be of good length, making the front of the muzzle broad, almost square and forming a blunt angle with bridge of
In front, the edge of the upper lip rests on the edge of the lower lip. The part of the lower jaw with lower lip curved upwards, called the chin, must not markedly protrude over upper lip, seen from front. Nor should it be hidden by the upper lip but should be well defined from front and side.
The canines and incisors of the lower jaw must not be visible when mouth is closed, neither should the tongue show. Median groove in the upper lip (philtrum) is clearly visible.
Lips: The lips complete the shape of the muzzle. The upper lip is thick and padded and fills the space formed by the undershot lower jaw; it is supported by the lower canines.
Jaws/Teeth: The lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw and is curved slightly upwards. The Boxer is undershot.
The upper jaw is broad where it joins the cranial region, tapering only slightly towards the front. The teeth are strong and healthy. The incisors are as even as possible, set in a straight line. Canines wide apart and of good size.
Cheeks: Cheeks are developed in proportion with the strong jaws without markedly bulging. They merge with the muzzle in a slight curve.
EYES: The dark eyes are neither too small nor protruding or deep set. Their expression conveys energy and intelligence and must not be threatening or piercing. Eye rims must be dark.
EARS: The natural ears are of appropriate size. They are set on wide apart on highest part of skull. In repose they lie close to the cheeks and turn forward with a definite crease, especially when the dog is alert.
NECK: Topline runs in an elegant arch from the clearly marked nape to the withers. It should be of ample length, round, strong and muscular.
BODY: Square body resting on sturdy,
LEGS: straightgs.
Withers: Should be marked.
Back: Including loin should be short, firm, straight, broad and muscular.

Underline: Running towards rear in elegant curve. Short, taut flanks slightly tucked up.
TAIL: The tail is natural, without a knot or deviation, normal length, and left natural. Set on high rather than low. In repose, the tail is hanging down with a natural curve. When the dog is alert or moving the tail is carried higher than the backline, but not curled.

The title of WUBOX Working Winner is awarded on the occasion of the WUBOX show to one male and one female each of the fawn and brindle colour from the working class.
The title of WUBOX Winner is awarded on the occasion of the WUBOX show to one male and one female each of the fawn and brindle colour, which were rated “Excellent 1” from intermediate, Open and Champion Classes.
The title of WUBOX Youth Winner is awarded on the occasion of the WUBOX show to one male and one female of each of the fawn and brindle colour, which were rated “Excellent 1” in the junior class. (if a youth dog class is allowed, then this must be adjusted accordingly)
The title of WUBOX Veteran Winner is awarded once a year on the occasion of the WUBOX show to one male and one female of each of the fawn and brindle colour. If white boxers can be exhibited in the country where the show is held, for example, a best white male or white female should be awarded.
I have received the minutes of the WUBOX Meeting of 4 June, and I agree with everything that has been reported.
But, with regard to the TOP 5 of the agenda, my speech shared and signed by Roberto Crosa, President of the BCI,
and read by the translator Mrs Jacqueline Iraci, during the meeting, was not included in the minutes itself.
I attach a copy of the document to facilitate its integration.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Best regards

COMMENT ON TOP5 ODG – REVISION STANDARD BOXER FCI – MEETING 4/6/2021
In this first phase of the constitution, we must consider that the WUBOX is an organism created just a year ago, and we need to make ourselves known in the world of boxer and international cynophilia.
Demonstrate our organizational, technical skills, to work with seriousness and passion.
It is also true that its basic components are the cornerstones of world breeding : the Germany nation holding the standard, strong in its traditions and organization capillary in the control of native breeding, and severe guardian of the dog-breeding roots of the race.
Italy, which is also well-structured, is full of experienced breeders and is able to achieve consistently top international sports results, which share passion and experience together with a strong sense of respect for health of the boxer, carrying out controls in order to eliminate or to check various pathologies, without neglecting the characteristic aspect of the breed, also subjected to tests that determine the positive value, beyond the high morphological quality reached by the breed.
To add also the quality and the ferment that exists in other European nations of great tradition, that have demonstrated their skills and their interest in the boxer, becoming the “cradle” and making a strong contribution to the development of the race : it is the proof of this constitution of ours “organism”.
But in my opinion, we must have patience , this document must be analyzed at various levels in our field, also involving other components such as the Commission on Health, and I dare say a Committee Judges, which we will have to discuss ; all topics that need to be expanded and that it is right to address specifically in meetings “with presence”, and not in online meetings; to enrich the quality, and be ready and aware to deal with the competent bodies of the official Cynophilia.
The proposal made jointly by our Breeding and Show Offices, that I have already praised for their ability and desire to do, can be a good starting point, an incentive to discuss and try to deepen and find together the right solutions.
I do not think it is appropriate at this time to face up to this challenge, we are now planning the events we have proposed, we are showing what we have set up for, and then we can continue to work on these issues in parallel.
Even beyond that, considerations about white boxers, and interpretations of the Standard by some nation. Up to, if necessary, an amending draft of the Standard – this can be the goal! –
As a second phase, I think it is more useful, that the Breeding Commission (maybe strengthened), can make an assessment on the state of the breed, analyzing the situation in individual countries, make reports and discuss with a representation of the Judges “Specialists”; create guidelines (deliberate by the Wubox) to follow in the shows of the various Boxer Club Associates and in our Championships, to direct the breeding, focusing on the most common strengths and weaknesses at this time.

Onderwerp: Re: Breeding Committee
Dear All.
The Dansk Kennel Klub only requirement for pedigree puppies is HD. But BK recommends that you test for HD, Heart and Spondylosis 24 months. The result for spondylosis must be read in Germany.
We have a mating list on BK’s website and on this mating list the matings are divided into gold, silver and bronze depending on which health results the breeder has done at their dog, and whether the dog has a German or Danish ZTP. Here you can take a look at our mating list https://www.boxer-klubben.dk/boxer/avr/parringsliste.asp
Greetings Ida

Dear Paskal, dear friends,
Was very nice to see you last week smiling and healthy!
To activate WUBOX web page we think could be useful to collect information from member countries about health tests necessary for breeding in each country (if boxer club and kennel club have diferent requirements, please note both).
If in country also is obligatory some caracter test, ztp, selection test also interesting to know, about full requirements for breeding.
For Latvia obligatory is only HD test for both parents, but responsible breeders make more tests as heart and spondylosis.
best regards,
Inese Pablaka
