What is the difference between German and American Boxer dogs?

Public Comments

1. The germans are typically quite a bit bigger with blockier heads.
2. there are only Boxers. No American or German. A breeder might tell you the boxer is German or American, but that is probably so they can charge you more money, just a marketing ploy. Boxers originate from Germany and are now bred all over the world.
3. German ones are born in Germany and American ones are born in America
4. There are several difference. german lines tend to have a larger bone structure there for giving them a larger size then the north american boxer. There muscle tone is much more pronounced and their muzzels tend to be quite a bit shorter. there jaw structure is a bit different then the NA boxer giving the german lined boxer a bit more of an under bite. german boxers have a higher prey drive and are not as good with cats or other small animals. German boxers are also more work oriented and will work harder and for longer periods then a NA boxer.
