Old German
BOXER CLUB
Member of
URCI; Germany
The IWBC was created for the registration of the breed, Alt Deutscher Boxer, ( Old German Boxer ) white.
After extended studies and testing was found, there is no ground that can be held against the idea of including the White Boxers back in to the Breed and Show world.
Extensive research by professionals such as the Veterinarian University of Hanover and Bonn, in Germany (Study to be found under the link White Boxer Information), realized that the White Boxer should be recognized as a profit for the gene pool and considered helpful in reconstructing colored Boxers to help those to develop proper vitality of type, bone structure and color of which these are lacking today.
Out of those test results it is to be understood that a white Boxer (if bred responsibly and with the proper knowledge) is by no means any less healthy or more prone to genetic defects then any colored Boxers. Fact though is that there are just as many deaf colored Boxer as there are deaf white Boxers. But because its a white Boxer we tend to look more intense at our white ones then the colored and excuse the colored Boxers afflicted with deafness as having selected hearing. Fact is also when you look at the Boxer rescue pages in Germany or Kennels in USA, you actual find more deaf colored Boxers then white ones.( none of these colored Boxers had been produced by white ones )
The IWBC welcomes seriously involved Members, who with knowledge and responsibility are willing to make a difference in our White Boxers lives by registering, selecting, breeding, and working the most quality white Boxers possible. To be able to correct our today’s colored Boxers lacking of vitality type, structure, and function is our goal.
THE IWBC STRONGLY DISTANCE FROM EVERY KENNEL that includes white Boxers in their breed program
with out the professional evaluation or health tests of these.
