how are the teeth of a boxer dog different to those of other dogs?
how can this difference be described as simply as possible?

- Its not so much the teeth being different its about the shape of the dogs head, and jaw. The Boxer nose is broad, and the top of the muzzle appears slightly pushed in, leaving the jaw a bit undershot — the lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw and curves slightly upward. The blunt muzzle leaves him susceptible to hot, stuffy conditions and can cause wheezing and snorting.
- it is the bite that is different not the teeth Bite and Jaw Structure The Boxer bite is undershot, the lower jaw protruding beyond the upper and curving slightly upward. The incisor teeth of the lower jaw are in a straight line, with the canines preferably up front in the same line to give the jaw the greatest possible width. The upper line of the incisors is slightly convex with the corner upper incisors fitting snugly in back of the lower canine teeth on each side. Neither the teeth nor the tongue should ever show when the mouth is closed.
- They're not. Simply put. The jaw shape is a bit different and of course a Boxer has bigger teeth then a Maltese.

- The (UK) Kennel Club Boxer Breed Standard states - "Mouth - Undershot jaw, canines set wide apart with incisors (six) in straight line in lower jaw. In upper jaw set in line curving slightly forward. Bite powerful and sound, with teeth set in normal arrangement" Hope this helps (a bit).
- ok i see lots of long convos but noon telling you what the difference is so to break it down to you they are more round and pointy and then the standard house dog basically all the similar dogs, i.e rotties, masties, stafs and so on there draw was build to bring down large pray so they have more power then actual sharpnes to there teeth so if they bite you the first thing you wil feel is the power unlike a jackrussel or a pit which you will fell the slize and teeth straight away.
