Now, now Teal...you can't really blame people in general for trusting the AKC...it takes a lot of independent thought and intellectual curiosity to go further than the first link on the google search.

But seriously...most people just don't know that the AKC is really no authority on dog breed history (or anything else for that matter), most folks believe them to be the be-all and end-all of the dog world

Yes, I can.

i have to disagree with you! boxers were originally bred for dog fighting!

You can't disagree with facts. Back up your statement with facts, or back out of this particular point of discussion. And "I heard from somewhere/someone" or "I read it somewhere" are not proof of facts.

My Grandpa had a pack of Airdale things he used to hunt bears with that he called game. They would get a bear cornered and not stop unless someone was dead. So that might be game
My grandpa did not hunt for trophy's, he hunted to kill what he hunted.

Boxers were bulldogs, they were used to catch and to bait. Some of them were also bred for protection.

honey im not joking!

Developed in Germany in the 19th century, Boxers were originally used for dog fighting and to run down and hold large game such as wild boar and bison until the hunter could arrive. The breed is known for standing up on its hind legs and batting at its opponent, appearing to box with its front paws. Imported to America after World War I, they began to grow in popularity in the late 1930s

Being intentionally insulting to other members is against forum rules and likely to get you banned. Though the demotivational DID crack me up. lol

Anyway Alex123, try debating a topic intelligently like an adult by discussing the facts and not like a child by insulting people who disagree with you. That kind of stuff just makes the user look stupid, like they have nothing in their heads to debate with, so they have to result to immature jabs and insults.

The AKC has some laugh out loud breed myths they try and pass off as the truth!
AKC, the money grabbing asshatts, they have "There's one born every minute" tattooed on their penis, which is ready to stick it to the General public at all times. And the General public keeps bending over...

Truth

It can happen. lol
