I have a 2 year old boxer and she just had her first litter of puppies on Christmas. She is a brindle boxer and we bred her with a brindle boxer. The puppies are solid black. Is this normal?

Hi. Congrats on the new pups. I also breed Boxers. There is a lot of conflicting opinions regarding the "Black Boxer". The AKC does not recognize any coloring other than Fawn, White, and Brindle. Therefore anything not fawn or white is considered Brindle. Which can come in several colorings. "Brindle, Dark Brindle, Reverse Brindle, Dark Reverse Brindle and some call it "Sealed Reverse Brindle" which is a U.S. term for the "Black". Some will argue that it is not really a boxer if it is "black". The history shows "black" boxers in the very early years in Germany. Some will not buy them and some will pay up to $2,000 for them. I personally am looking to find a "Black" female. If you look closely enough a true boxer will still have "color" showing through the black. Especially in good light. Though it will appear solid "black". They also will be registered as merely "Brindle" with the AKC on their papers. AKC members are refrained from selling them as "Black". Consider yourself lucky and good luck!!! How many do you have? I currently have a 2 week old litter of 9 and a 1 week old litter of 5. Be sure to post pics!!! Also try typing in "Black Boxers" in your search engine. You'll find some good info and stuff about the history of them. Oh, and the pups do tend to "lighten" sometimes and you'll see more of their "coloring" or if they really are the "black" then the little bit of coloring you do see will actually start to "fade". Hope this helps. If you have any more questions I'd be happy to help if I can.

hi...thanks that helps alot. We have always owned boxers but they have all been fawn until this one, and of course we've never seen a newborn boxer so we were kinda worried. She had the puppies on Christmas day. There are 7 boys and 2 girls. I'm glad you mentioned the part about being able to see other coloring in good light b/c when you shine a flashlight on them you can see some lighter brown coloring.

Thanks so much. I am really learning alot from you guys. I had no idea you weren't suppose to breed 2 brindles together. We're really lucky all 9 have made it so far. The vet says they are very healthy. We had their tails docked and dew claws removed today. I'll have to post pics later today.

I'm glad they're all doing fine. Where do you live? There aren't many Boxer breeders in my area so I'm always curious to find some. Let us know when the pics are up. Thx.

Thank you all for your replies. This has been very helpful. I live in NC, we weren't breeding to get any certain color. We were just really confused when they all came out black ( per say). They are starting to lighten up a little. Also please forgive me for being so rude...CONGRATS on all the newborns you all have. I've not had much time to write.

I'm going to try to attach a picture, it's kinda hard to see them all bundled up together but I will post more pics as they get older.

Thanks again for all the replies!

Jugsy...Where in NC are you? If you don't mind me asking. I'm in SC. Are all of your pups spoken for or do you have some available? I would like to talk to you more about your dogs if you don't mind. You can e-mail me at mich_em2004@yahoo.com Thx.
