Since the beginning of the breed selection, the type of the Boxer changed a lot. Here is the example of 30 generations of selection, from Box St Salvator – born in 1894 – to his direct descendant, Jacinto D'Jandilla – born in 2002.
The evolution of the type is obvious and remarkable. Here is the example of a major direct line in Europe, which shows the work realised by breeders during the 20th century.

F5, Ch Rolf v Vogelsberg, 1908, is one of the bedrocks of the selection of the Boxer. He was bred by Friedrun Stockmann, called the “mother of the Boxer”.
