WHITE BOXER FACTS

There is no evidence that white Boxers are more susceptible to diseases.  White Boxers can be deaf due to a lack of pigmentation of the hair cells in the ear and may sunburn more easily than colored Boxers.  Most white Boxers are not deaf and are the same as any other Boxer.  They do not require any more special care than colored boxers.

  White Boxers are just Boxers with white coats, they are not albinos.  Albino in animals is defined as a complete lack of pigment.  This is evidenced by pink eyes, and a complete lack of color anywhere on the body.  All white Boxers have pigment in their eyes.  Most have spots on their coat their body and some have darker colored markings on their coat.

  White Boxers can be registered and can compete in sporting events.  The Boxer breed standard indicates that 2/3 of the body must be fawn or brindle.  White Boxers do not meet the breed standard, breeders feel that white Boxers are inferior to colored boxers and less reputable breeders euthanize them at birth.

  There is a big debate on this matter.  It is looked as irresponsible to breed your white Boxer regardless of bloodlines.  This causes a higher percent of deafness in white puppies.  Breeding white boxers sustains the recessive gene and can cause generations of breeding down the line to suffer from deafness.  The reason this is not acceptable is breeders not knowing their genetics.  I have seen some breeders that dare to venture into the breeding of a white boxer bred with the right colored boxer have success.  We don’t breed white boxers here Babybull Boxers, but we support and love the white boxer.  We believe that the white boxer should be allow to show and compete just as the others.  The first boxer was white and it will never be bred out of the gene pool, so why not.
