GROOMING

The even-tempered boxer is an easy dog to groom. These medium-sized dogs have double, extremely short-haired coats. Their shiny, smooth coats lie flat and tight and appear in colors of brindle, fawn and red, with white markings around the stomach, chest, feet and face.
Step 1 Give your boxer a quick brush every day with a natural bristle brush to keep shedding to a minimum.

Step 2
Check ears every one or two weeks for dirt, wax buildup and mites. When needed, clean ears with a cotton pad moistened with a few drops of ear cleansing solution.

Step 3
Trim hairs around your boxer's ears using blunt-nosed scissors every two months or when needed.

Step 4
Use blending shears to trim stray hair growing into different colored patches every month or two.

Step 5
Bathe only as needed. Boxers typically clean themselves like cats, so all you have to do is shampoo him when he's dirty, using a rubber brush to loosen shedding hair.

Step 6
Dry your boxer with a blow dryer, using your hand or a hard rubber brush to remove excess hair.

Step 7
Apply a coat whitener to any of your pet's discolored white markings. A boxer's oily coat has the tendency to retain dirt.
