German vs American Boxer
German vs American Boxer.
Difference between american vs euro boxer.
I don’t like saying “German Boxer ” or American Boxer – I prefer German Type Boxer or American Type Boxer – because there is only one Boxer and they originated in Germany and in fact under the FCI (International Federation)Standard they are called the Deutscher Boxer. For the record there is also the “British Type” as well.
They have all become very distinct from each other.

“I just love em all , big heads, little heads!”
German boxers look quite a bit different from the American breed. First of all, ear cropping and tail docking have been banned in most Northern European countries, so the style of the dog has changed significantly there. Here in the United States, an owner of a German boxer could have the ears cropped and tail docked, but to remain true to the breed’s current look, many refrain from those procedures. The ears and tail modifications aren’t all that separate the two breeds. The build of the German boxer is significantly different from the American breed.
The head of the German boxer is significantly different from the head of the American boxer. The German boxer has a strong, wide and deep jaw. The upwardly curved part of the lower jaw, called the chin, is well defined both in front and from the side. The nose is short.
German Boxer Vs American Boxer Dog.
The American, or North American, boxer is considered more elegant. Its neck has a pronounced yet elegant curve without extra skin. Germans (or Northern European) have a straight necks with loose skin. The body style is noticeable as well. From the side view, American boxers have more of a square look. The German breed has a much more pronounced forward-leaning appearance.
The rear of the European boxer isn’t as developed as that of the American and is actually quite a bit shorter. For some aficionados of boxers, this gives the European dogs, both Northern and Southern European, the look of being unbalanced.
US vs EU/German Boxers
Boxer dogs can be categorized into two main types: American Boxers and European Boxers. While both breeds have many similarities, there are also some key differences between them. Here are some of the main differences:
- Appearance: One of the most obvious differences between American and European Boxers is their appearance. European Boxers tend to be more muscular and have a broader head and muzzle. They also tend to have a shorter snout and a more pronounced underbite. American Boxers, on the other hand, have a more streamlined appearance and a longer snout.
- Temperament: Both American and European Boxers are known for their friendly, playful personalities. However, there are some differences in their temperament. American Boxers are often described as more energetic and outgoing, while European Boxers tend to be more reserved and calm.
- Health: European Boxers are generally considered to be healthier than American Boxers. This is because European breeders tend to place a greater emphasis on breeding for health and temperament, rather than just appearance.
- Working ability: European Boxers are often trained for working roles such as police or military work. They are typically more focused and easier to train, which makes them a popular choice for these types of jobs. American Boxers are also trainable, but they are typically bred more for their appearance and companionship qualities.

German vs American Boxer
I have one of each. The German Type Boxer is manifestly unfriendly towards strangers, unless I allow them in the home- and even then I have to supervise her. On neutral ground she is very suspicious of strangers and will only allow a person to approach if I command her to. She will not allow a stranger to pet her unless they’ve been welcomed into the house and she likes them.
She is capable of doing a meet and greet with friendly dogs, but that’s all. She has no interest in playing with any dogs except our American style boxer.
She is the best guard dog I have ever had, and I’ve had American Bulldogs and GSD’s. She has proven herself by driving off a burglar who had cut our lanai screen to try and break in.
If you are looking for real working guardian-the German style boxer is awesome. I would not recommend a dog with such high protection drive for a novice owner, or an owner thinking these dogs will behave like their Aerican counterparts.
Your German boxer sounds like she acts exactly like my American bulldog. Everything you described about mannerisms and reaction to strange people and dogs is identical. She will eventually warm up to people if they just leave her alone and are in the house with us. Bulldogs be bulldogs whether German or American eh.
Your dogs are opposite from mine! My Euro boxer is sweet and social, loves all people and dogs, overly social really as she yearns to greet new people, I doubt she would chase a burgler away – possibly kiss them to death. She is calm and reserved. My American boxer is very cautious about people. She hides behind us when in public and someone approaches. She peeks out at them. She is the watch dog in the house and she misses nothing. She is demanding, affectionate, wild and energetic – feisty you might say – she is Alpha -a warrior and a natural hunter. They get along well but sometimes play too rough. Both girls get along with other dogs. So different but so much fun and it’s a blessing to have these two personalities in my home. They give us hours of pleasure

I had an American boxer. I now have a German boxers. To me both of my females were protective of there house and family members. The temperament on both breeds are about the same. I will say the German boxer is a more up in your face .I want to play and I need attention. And she has a very deep bark
