Boxer stud dogs with heart results you can verify
Boxers are clowns at home and athletes outdoors. However, heart disease and cancer shorten too many of their lives. So a careful breeder wants current heart tests and an honest family history. On VerifiedStuds each stud profile shows both, from an identity-verified owner.

Claim this spotBoxer stud fees typically run from $700 to $2,000. A health-tested male without titles often charges $700 to $1,300. In contrast, AKC champions, European imports and proven sires usually ask $1,500 to $3,000.
These are market estimates, since fees are private. An older stud with clean Holters year after year is especially valuable, so age can add to a fee. Our stud fee guide explains fees, puppy-back deals and return services.

The American Boxer Club sets a long list, which the AKC repeats on its Working Group health testing page. Owners upload these results for the Verified Health badge:

Two heart problems lead the list. Aortic stenosis is checked by a cardiologist, usually with an echo. Boxer cardiomyopathy (ARVC) causes dangerous rhythms, so a 24-hour Holter monitor is repeated every year. The DNA test helps as well, but it does not replace the Holter. Registered results are on the OFA website.
To understand heart exams and DNA reports, start with our health testing guides. Read the full Boxer health testing guide.
First, ask for the Holter history. One clean result is good, but several years of clean results are far better. Also ask how old his parents were when they died, and whether heart disease or cancer was involved.
Next, think about color. Boxers are fawn or brindle, with or without white markings. Two heavily marked, or "flashy", parents produce white puppies about a quarter of the time. White Boxers are more likely to be deaf, so many breeders pair a flashy dog with a plain one.
Finally, compare type. American lines are usually more elegant, while European lines are heavier in bone and head. Either way, look for open nostrils, easy breathing and a steady, playful temperament.
The AKC describes the Boxer as bright, fun-loving and active. The breed was developed in Germany in the late 1800s from the old Bullenbeisser hunting dog. Males stand 23 to 25 inches tall and weigh 65 to 80 pounds.
Boxers ranked 18th in AKC registrations for 2025. They are patient with children and protective of their families. Because health varies so much between lines, the choice of sire shapes the whole litter.
Boxers usually breed naturally. Even so, many owners choose artificial insemination, particularly in hot weather, because the short muzzle makes the breed prone to overheating. Chilled and frozen semen also give access to older, heart-clear sires. Each profile lists the methods offered.
Our dog artificial insemination guide covers timing and shipping. Afterwards, see how VerifiedStuds works.

How much is a Boxer stud fee?
Most owners charge $700 to $2,000. However, champions, imports and proven sires can ask up to $3,000.
What health tests should a Boxer stud have?
The parent club list covers heart exams, a yearly Holter, ARVC and DM DNA tests, hips, elbows and thyroid. We also need a negative brucellosis test.
How often should a Boxer stud have a Holter?
Most breeders repeat it every year, because ARVC can appear later in life. Ask your veterinary cardiologist what is right for your dog.
Why do some litters have white Boxer puppies?
White appears when a puppy inherits heavy white markings from both parents. Such puppies have a higher risk of deafness.
Can I list a breed you have not written about?
