On the other hand, the reverse Boxer has fawn striping on a dark background. As mentioned before, the brindle pattern in boxers is a dark striping on the fawn background. Breeds with the pattern tend to have Brindle as their dominant color. You can’t tell if a dog will be Brindle or reverse. Puppies often change in color and markings as they grow. To be Brindle or reverse is a genetic matter. These are known as plain Boxers, but the term is misleading, as it refers to the genes at work. He would just be considered to be fawn or brindle Boxer. Therefore, if your Boxer is just fawn or brindle, he does not need to have any of the white markings. While this is a common color combination, it is not the only combination for this breed. When people talk of a fawn or brindle Boxer, they are usually actually talking about a fawn or brindle Boxer with white markings and a black mask. If 2 flashy Boxers (Ssw) are bred together, the resulting litter will be puppies with markings, unless genes skip a generation to bring in the white coloring. If an SS Boxer is pairs with a flashy Ssw, puppies have a 50% chance of holding markings. If two SS Boxers are bred together, the resulting litter will be plain (no markings), with the only exception being a jump in genetics, in which case genes jump a generation and if grandparents hold flashy Ssw genes, the puppies may have some white. Those with white markings carry the Ssw gene, known as the flashy gene.Boxers without white markings carry the SS gene, known as the plain gene.But, he or she actually does not need to have any of those markings. Now, there are also 5 types of markings that a Boxer dog can have.
