About the Boxer
The Boxer is a medium-to-large, short-haired breed developed in Germany. Known for their athletic build, boundless energy, and playful spirit, Boxers are one of the most popular family breeds worldwide. Their loyalty and protective instincts make them excellent watchdogs and devoted companions.
Boxers are late bloomers — they retain their puppy energy well into adulthood and don't fully mature until around 3 years of age. They thrive on physical activity and mental stimulation, requiring vigorous daily exercise to stay healthy and well-behaved.
While naturally muscular, Boxers can gain excess weight if under-exercised or overfed. Maintaining a healthy weight protects their joints and cardiovascular health, and helps prevent the breed's predisposition to certain heart conditions.

Adult Boxers typically weigh 25–32 kg (55–71 lbs). Males are noticeably larger than females, typically by 5–7 kg.

Keeping Your Boxer at a Healthy Weight
- Provide at least 60–90 minutes of vigorous exercise daily — Boxers love to run and play fetch.
- Feed a high-protein, high-quality kibble appropriate for active medium-large breeds.
- Split meals into two servings per day to reduce bloat risk.
- Avoid exercise immediately after eating — wait at least 1 hour.
- Monitor muscle mass as well as weight — a lean, muscular Boxer may weigh more than expected.
- Ribs should be easily felt but not visibly prominent when viewed from above.
