Sitting here looking at my Boxer, some consider them an aggressive breed. That's a joke.
That's from the days before any newsman knew there were such things as Pitbulls. Back then, they had to sensationalize Boxers as the lock jaw, mad dog, breed. After that came the Dobermans. Once they discovered Pitbulls, back in the late 1970s, they became the bad dogs for selling papers and attracting viewing audiences for "the story at six." Few remember anymore that Boxers were ever so used by the press. My father remembers it, though. When he was a kid, he tells me, it was always about Boxers killing kids and such.
