Welcome to the UK Boxer Breed Council website, a site aimed at everyone involved in the world of the boxer.

The Breed Council is made up of representatives from each of the breed clubs who are licensed to hold shows under Kennel Club rules. Boxer clubs outside the jurisdiction of the Kennel Club and Boxer Training Clubs may become associated members with full membership privileges other than voting rights.

The objectives of the Breed Council are to maintain the Boxer breed in accordance with the breed standard approved by the Kennel Club. To co-ordinate all aspects and activities of the Boxer breed clubs in the United Kingdom for the improvement and protection of the breed, combing this with education for those who are interested in the breed.

The council holds lists of judges at A1, A2, A3, B and C levels (JEP Levels 1 to 4) based upon their experience in the breed and judging record. The A1 list indicates persons whom the council would support and who have been previously approved by the Kennel Club to award Challenge Certificates. These lists are compiled and reviewed continually throughout the year.

The Breed Council holds the health of the breed as a primary importance and this was reflected in the reformation of a health sub-committee, all matters relating to Boxer health can be found on the health pages contained within this site. Anyone who has not already done so, we would urge you to complete the on-line health form in the ‘General Health’ section as we attempt to guage the overall health of the breed. Please feel free to browse the site and check back regularly for any updates.

The Boxer Breed Council meets twice yearly and is made up of  delegates representing each Boxer Club, the Chairman, Vice Chairman and  secretary.  Any items to be included on the agenda have to be  submitted by a Boxer Club, not individual persons.Therefore, if you wish  any item to be included for discussion you must submit it to the Boxer Club of  which you are a member for consideration. The agendas for forthcoming meetings, and also the minutes of  meetings, are circulated to Club delegates and secretaries by the Boxer Breed  Council secretary.

BREED COUNCIL HEALTH SURVEY

The Boxer Breed Council has launched an important Breed Health Survey, and they need your help, please share with boxer friends.

The survey is open to all UK Boxer owners.

If you own or have owned multiple Boxers, you can complete one survey per dog.

Both past and present Boxers can be included.

All responses are anonymous, unless you choose to provide your details.

The survey will run until 14th February 2026

Once closed, the results will be collated and presented to the Boxer Breed Council, published on their website, helping to shape the future health strategy of our breed.

The Royal Kennel Club (RKC) is supporting this survey, so some owners may also receive an email directly from the RKC with a link to take part.
Every response counts — thank you for helping to support the health and future of Boxers in the UK!
