What is boxer with long hair?

Boxers with long hair are rare and not a recognized breed standard by the American Kennel Club (AKC). The long-haired gene is a recessive gene that occasionally appears in a litter of boxers. These dogs have longer and silkier hair than the short-haired breed and may require more grooming.

Although long-haired boxers are not recognized by the AKC, they can still make great pets. They are friendly, playful, and loyal dogs. However, because of their longer hair, they may be prone to tangling and matting. Regular brushing and grooming are necessary to prevent this.

It is also important to note that some breeders may intentionally breed two long-haired boxers together to produce a litter of long-haired puppies. This practice is discouraged by many breeders and can lead to health problems in the offspring due to inbreeding. It is always important to research and choose a reputable breeder when looking for a pet.
