or is it something that is taught? Sorry, this may be a dumb question, but I've never actually seen any boxers in person that have that "ideal" boxer silhouette.

I have seen mine stand like that when they are on alert...standing at "attention" so to speak...but, I am sure that breeders work with them to perfect it and make it a more common stance...that's my guess!

That looks like a show stack, which is usually taught at a young age.  i recently caught this pic of my youngest and she hasnt had any coaching or anything. this is just a natural stack.

Odin does when he's in "Alert" mode... he's never been sooooo alert his tail goes STRAIGHT UP... either that or I just haven't noticed!? lol But yeah I think so.

That's what I figured. I've seen Molly stand like that when she's standing at the glass door watching a squirrel or something. I just didn't know if they were supposed to stand like that all the time. I thought Molly was just lazy. :wink:

which is a miracle given her life before we got her...

Yep that's definitely a show stack - and this dog is great at doing it without coaching or being on a lead.  Beautiful dog.

 

[Ky_IsisnOnyxsMama]

That's a show stack and very well done. I've caught Angel doing that quite a bit, don't know if I have any pics tho, course my girl was supposed to be a show dog except for those cute little front feet that are just a wee bit pigeon toed

Here is Beau's stack.  I wish he would put his tail up but he is bashful.

 

[samsonsmom]

Beau is gorgous!!! OMG, I first looked and I could have sworn it was Buck except for the ear crop Love those dark brindles with the black mask
