Reverse seal brindle is the colour. Although the AKC doesn't allow dogs with this colouring to compete it doesn't mean they aren't pure boxers.
This is what wikipedia says: "Brindle" refers to a dog with black stripes on a fawn background. Some brindle Boxers are so heavily striped that they give the appearance of "reverse brindling", fawn stripes on a black body; these dogs are conventionally called "reverse brindles", but that is actually a misnomer—they are still fawn dogs with black stripes. In addition, the breed standards state that the fawn background must clearly contrast with or show through the brindling, so a dog that is too heavily brindled may be disqualified by the breed standard. The Boxer does not carry the gene for a solid black coat color and therefore purebred black Boxers do not exist. Either way he is a beautiful boy! |

"Seal brindle or black" boxers are not a standard color of the breed. They often have another breed mixed in somewhere.. Reverse brindle can almost appear black, but the dog should have very noticeable brindling somewhere on the body, not just hints of other color mixed in the coat. A sheen of brown over the coat isn't classified as brindling. I would say that this boxer isn't 100% pure and has been mixed with another breed. It could of been 5 generations back or one generation back.
Either way.. enjoy your dog
