You can run a ruler on the balance of muzzle to the whole of the head and it will come out 1:3. This was the profile of the head that was said to be laid down by the country of origin of the breed, and most breeders still regard it to be of excellent type. The blueprint of the Boxer head should be the MUNICH SILHOUETTE. So why is it that head type varies so much? If shown a selection of photographs of different heads, most good judges and breeders would agree which ones were the best.
It is the head that gives judges and breeders alike, the most trouble. The Boxer standard, even though explicit in the head qualities desired, is also confusing to many people. Particular attention should now be paid to the head. Now is the time to go over the dog with your hands. Was commissioned by the breeder Ernesto Molins.
