The Champion Boxer


This young gentleman is Isaac, a Boxer puppy I met last Sunday in the London doggie paradise, otherwise known as Clapham Common, one of the biggest open spaces in London.

Isaac is so full of energy that, as he bounded happily towards me, I ended up with his cute face right next to mine and his paw on my shoulder! I didn't mind at all, his enthusiasm and joie de vivre was very enchanting. He is clearly a very pampered and confident dog, constantly on the go. Apparently, his best friend is a Newfoundland puppy, and they can play together for hours.

His marvellous athletic physique and his beautiful brindle coat, with snow white socks on his paws, paired with his inquisitive yet kind face, makes him a truly stunning dog. His owners are clearly besotted with him and I am not at all surprised - he is such a charming and beautiful dog. Just look at his face on this photo - how could you refuse him anything if he looked at you like that?

The Boxer is a German breed, created in late 19th century by crossing an English Bulldog with a Bullenbeisser, a German hunting breed. Boxers are intelligent, spirited and energetic, but devoted and loving, so make wonderful companions and family pets.
