Boxachi

The hybrid called the Boxachi is a new breed of dog that does not have a detailed history. However, the two breeds that combine to create the breed have long histories. There is evidence pointing to the Boxer being one of a number of descendants of the Bulldog and of fighting dogs from the high valleys of Tibet. Some sources claim that the Boxer is the result of two breeds of dog that were found in Central Europe and that are no longer in existence, the Danziger Bullenbeisser and the Brabanter Bullenbeisser. Known for his hunting and fighting skills, the Boxer is thought to have originated in the 1500s. There are several theories as to the origin of the Chihuahua. One theory is that the breed began in Egypt 3,000 years ago. Another is that the Chihuahua breed began in China and was brought elsewhere by Spanish traders. It is believed that the dog was then crossed with small dogs that were native to the area. A third theory is that the Chihuahua was created in Central and South America, descending from a native dog called “Techichi”. The Techichi was small and mute and at times was used in sacrificial ceremonies as it was believed that a small red dog had the ability to guide the soul to the underworld. What is certain is, that around 1850 three tiny dogs were found in Chihuahua, Mexico. A small number of the dogs were ultimately brought to America though they received little attention. When Xavier Cugat brought his Chihuahua with him in public regularly, the breed began to get the attention of Americans and became very popular.
