Boxers are brachycephalic (they have broad, short skulls), and have a square muzzle, mandibular prognathism (an underbite), very strong jaws, and a powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The Boxer was bred from the Bullenbeisser, a now extinct dog, and the Bulldog. Boxers are very loyal and protective of their families, and make excellent guard dogs.
