A Pearl Tiara, a Lace Ruff and the Most Charming Princess at Court
A delicate pearl tiara perches on the broad, wrinkled brow of a brindle Boxer, and the contrast is utterly charming. Her dark-striped coat shines with rich mahogany tones, her soulful brown eyes look out with quiet dignity, and her square jowls rest atop a frilly white lace ruff. Strand upon strand of creamy pearls loop across her chest, layered over an embroidered ivory gown. A sweeping blue velvet cape trimmed with golden laurel leaves and a hint of ermine drapes over one shoulder. Behind her, a carved column and soft green drapery complete the courtly setting.
Boxers were developed in Germany and are known for their muscular build, playful spirit and devotion to their families. Despite their strong appearance, many are big, silly clowns at heart, with a famous habit of wiggling their whole body when happy. They are energetic and need daily exercise and play. Brindle, a pattern of dark stripes over a fawn base, is one of the breed's classic colorings. Because Boxers have shortened muzzles, they can be sensitive to heat, so cool shade and water are important on warm days. Their short coats are easy to care for with a weekly brushing.
Strong, sweet and dressed in pearls, this princess proves that true royalty comes in every shape, size and jowl. Her loyal subjects would follow her anywhere.
