The terms used to describe the colors of boxers can easily get confusing.  This page should help anyone understand those terms so you can be proud to describe your puppy or what you are looking for to anyone!

.

SEALED BRINDLE:   They look like they are  black .  It is where the typical black stripes are "sealed shut" and therefore you can see pretty much no fawn on their body whatsoever - they appear completely black in color.  They often have the same white markings as any other boxer, but simply have pretty much no fawn color - only black and most likely some white.  We only ever get one or two puppy's in a litter as there are no male dogs in victoria i can breed too.  Again, AKC only recognizes these as "brindle."  The picture below is of Beejay & Paige my girls taken by Champion Shots.

REVERSE BRINDLE:   It is where the brindle-colored body is very dark, and appears to almost be solid black with fawn stripes, instead of solid fawn with black stripes - hence the name "reverse."  AKC does not specify the differences in brindle shade, so these are technically just considered to be brindle, but the term is common knowledge.  this picture below is of one of my puppys "Dexter".

FLASHY BRINDLE: is a striped brindle body, a black face, with a white T-bone shaped marking around the snout and up between the eyes.  When puppies are born with white on their faces, the white usually shrinks slowly until the age of 6-8months.  "Flashy" puppies usually are born with a mostly white face.  The color of brindle can vary as the different brindle pictures demonstrate, but most are about the same as picture below.

 

 

GOLDEN BRINDLE:  It is simply a very light brindle, often with fewer black stripes than the average.  AKC does not recognize the differences in shades of brindle, so again, these are technically recognized as "brindle." the picture below was found online, we own no rights to it.

 

CLASSIC FAWN: has a fawn colored coat with a black face.  AKC refers this color as "plan fawn ."  There can be different shades of fawn, from the more pale to a more reddish tint, but most fawns are about the same shade.  Some have flecks or spots of white on their noses, chins or between the eyes, but not the full-face white-markings.  See picture below.As i dont breed Fawn the picture below was found online, we own no rights to it.

FLASHY FAWN: is the color that most people think of when they think of a boxer.  The coat is fawn in color, the face is black, with a white T-bone shaped marking over their snout and up between the eyes as in the picture below.  When puppies are born with white on their faces, the white usually shrinks slowly until the age of 6-8months.  "Flashy" puppies usually are born with a mostly white face.As i dont breed Fawn the picture below was found online, we own no rights to it.

.

WHITE BOXERS:  Boxers with more than one-third of white on their coat are considered "white boxers" and NOT registerable through AKC.  They unfortunately are highly likely to carry and develop genetic defects(commonly blindness, deafness, allergies), and are not recommended to be bred for that reason.  The picture below was found online, we own no rights to it.
