Coat
Short, shiny, lying smooth and
tight to the body.
The allowable
colors are light tan to dark mahogany fawn, and brindle. The
brindles range from sparse to deep black striping. The
black striping may be of such concentration that the essential
fawn background color barely, although clearly, shows through, which may
create the appearance of "reverse brindling."
No preference is given to either color.
White markings are
unnecessary, but if exist, should be of such distribution as to
enhance the dog’s appearance. White markings that exceed
one-third of the entire coat are a disqualification. White
markings on the flanks or on the back of the torso are not desirable. The
white marking on the face may replace part of the otherwise essential
black mask, and may extend in an upward path between the eyes, but it must
not extend over the entire top of the head.

Coat
Short, shiny, lying
smooth and tight to the body.
Color
The colors are fawn and
brindle. Fawn shades vary from light tan to mahogany. The brindle ranges
from sparse, but clearly defined black stripes on a fawn background, to
such a heavy concentration of black striping that the essential fawn
background color barely, although clearly, shows through (which may create
the appearance of “reverse brindling”).
White markings should
be of such distribution as to enhance the dog’s appearance, but may not
exceed one-third of the entire coat. They are not desirable on the flanks
or on the back of the torso proper. On the face, white may replace part of
the otherwise essential black mask and may extend in an upward path
between the eyes, but it must not be excessive, so as to detract from true
Boxer expression.
Faults-Unattractive
or misplaced white markings.
Disqualifications-Boxers
that are any color other than fawn or brindle. Boxers with a total of
white markings exceeding one-third of the entire coat. |
