Don't breed from white boxers.

They're purely pet animals, and are highly likely to produce puppies with hereditary deafness if bred together.

Please do not breed from your white dogs . They are purely pets... 2 white Boxers wiil  produce white boxers, and the likelyhood that all my be deft will be high.
Enjoy your dogs for what they are (wonderfull faithful friends)

Tracey

If you breed two white dogs together, as you described, you are likely to breed a whole litter of puppies that are known as "fatal whites".   These poor puppies could suffer from not only inherant deafness, but blindness too.    Who would you find to look after such puppies?   You certainly would not be able to sell them, would you?   Would YOU be able to take on the responsibility of five, six or seven deaf & blind puppies?     After all, were you to breed from your two white boxers, you would be the person responsible for their being born, wouldn't you?

Please don't even think about it.

Hi Staffie yes if both dam and sire where red there is a possibility that you will get brindles or fawn brindles. my last litter was dam red fawn and sire flashy red. i got all brindle puppies.

Hi Tracey are you the same poster regarding the 21mth ol boxer bitch which you think your dog has mated accidently.Firstly breeders sell white dogs purely for Pets never to be bred from and most breeders do not register their white boxers. And also two white boxers will produce white puppies hence you wont be able to register them with the kennel club.white boxers are prone to deafness cleft pallets and other health problems, not all white boxers get any health problems but some do.If you think your bitch could be pregnant get her to your vet for a pre mate injection and stop the pregnancy for your bitches health and also the puppies, there are far too many white boxers already in WHITE BOXER rescue without adding any more.Also white boxer puppies are always bigger than their coloured siblings so there would most probably have to be a C Section for your girl which if it is a emergency will cost you anywhere from £450. have a serious re think and enjoy your two boxers as pets.And think if they do have puppies do you want to be responsible for adding to possibly more white boxers going into rescue.I have boxers and sometimes i do get a white puppy and that puppy i find a special home for where i know its new owners will love him/her and if that home wasnt a life long one i would bring the puppy back home like i would with all my others.If you like you can pm me and i will point out the severe health problems some white boxers have.
