THE LEGEND OF THE BOXER

“ The dog is a creation of the God’s “
Xenophon

     It was on the 5th day of the creation. After God had created the various animals, he started to create an example of each breed of dog he anticipated would exist in future. There were large and small ones, long coated dogs, curly haired and short haired dogs, white, black, brindles thus something of everything a human could ever wish for. All dogs had already been completed and God viewed them with a sense of satisfaction when our heavenly Father spoke: ”Here you have such a choice , which is more than all the other animal types put together that I created. But to create one extraordinary one who will lead, I will now create a dog, in which rests nobility, power, speed and guts, and be good natured all included in one specimen.” Upon uttering these words he took some clay and created the Boxer.
     His creation resembled the boxer of today, with his head not much different to the other dogs, and God was very pleased and said: “This creation has surpassed all my expectations and I will place him aside for a while, as he is still soft and damage could easily be inflicted on him”. The Boxer must have overheard the statement made and carried his head very high, as he apparently was the most beautiful of all. He could not resist from bragging before the other dogs and expected them to bow before him and also receive their acceptance for this fact. The small breeds accepted this fact and adored him but the larger breeds showed resentment. The larger dogs ego was dented, how could this middle sized dog surpass the quality of them!!. At first they growled loudly, then harsh words flew both ways through the air — Did you see this! Infuriated by this comment the Boxer jumped at the larger dogs. He however had forgotten that he had just been moulded and that the clay was still soft as his nose was supposed to be the final part of God’s creation.  At that stage his muzzle was pressed tightly against the noses of the larger dogs and as God removed him from the other dogs the accident had already happened.
     God stood back chuckled softly and said: ”As you are now you will stay till the day you are born” and so it was.
    Whoever doubts the truth of this story only needs to observe his Boxer in the presence of other dogs. You would be immediately convinced that the old relationship to the other races still exists. Each dog from the small breeds he would approach with friendliness as a reminder of their attitude towards him previously, but each larger breed would very quickly vanish into the distance, due to their intolerance previously that the Boxer has not forgotten till this day.
