The boxer is a medium-sized, short-haired dog originally bred in Germany. Their coats are smooth and tight-fitting; colors are fawn or brindled, with or without white markings. Boxers are brachycephalic with a square muzzle, mandibular prognathism, very strong jaws, and a powerful bite ideal for latching onto large prey. The boxer is a member of the Working Group, a category of dogs that were bred specifically to assist humans as watchdogs.
