Boxers come in fawn (from tan to red) and brindle from golden with almost no stripes to almost black. They also come in white.

18% of white puppies are deaf in one ear(unilaterally deaf). 12% of white puppies are deaf in both ears (bilaterially deaf). That means OVER 80% OF WHITE BOXERS ARE NOT DEAF!

Recently the American Boxer Club membership changed their rules on white puppies. White puppies may be sold for a price that covers the cost of the eight week old puppy -NOT MAKE A PROFIT! Reputable breeders will require these puppies be spayed or neutered. If they do not require the white puppy be spayed or neutered I would question getting the puppy from that breeder.

Advertisements that white puppies are rare and should be of considerable value and cost as much or more than a colored puppy should be discredited. Aproximently 25% of all boxers are born white!

White Boxers SHOULD NOT be bred. A breeder, selling puppies from a litter where a parent is white, is definitely motivated by other than “what’s good for the boxer breed. "

Boxers that are white or check (more than one third white color) have all the characteristics of a boxer. They are not albino. They usually have some pigment - spots on their skin or nose. Generally if the pigment is on an ear they are not deaf.

If they are from a reputable breeder they are probably part of a litter bred carefully with consideration to quality and health checks on the parents. This does go a long way to insure health of all the puppies whites as well as colored.
