" Boxers rank high in popularity among purebred dogs.
During recent years {at time of this publication} they have held steadily within the top fifteen breeds of American dogdom.
This not only attests to their popularity but to their stability as well.
These medium-size working dogs have and will remain among the prestige dogs for people of all walks of life. This is not surprising for Boxers are loyal, dependable, intelligent, and they carry themselves with well-defined Boxer dignity and roguishness.
With the foregoing in mind, the author of THIS IS THE BOXER has concentrated on not only bringing into proper focus the wonderful character of this breed but also how to maintain this energetic breed so that it will be able to give the very best of itself for the longest possible time.
All aspects of Boxer ownership are covered.
These aspects of dog ownership are brought to light and thoroughly discussed by the author as he delves into the "why's" and "why not's" of breeding, grooming, feeding, housing, showing, and many other vital topics of Boxer guardianship. "

" THIS IS THE BOXER blankets all of the paramount subjects with the knowledge of the expert, but in such a style that even the most inexperienced dog owners can fully comprehend the various technicalities of Boxer ownership.
Not only instructive in works but also in photographs, this book illuminates the charming personality of this breed which is truly individual.
Besides the candid photographs, there are also those posed illustrations that show both American and English Boxer champions at their show best.
Much can be learned from the valuable information contained in this book, but it is also a book that can proudly be displayed in every library.
Certainly, a home in which a Boxer lives would not be complete without it. "
