Question
Hi my female boxer is white with just black nose she had 5 puppies all white two with black n brown patch on eye.My boxer male is fawn but hid dad was white too, so my question is my puppies wont change color they will stay the same color they were born?

Answer
No, they won't change.

Your female is white with the "white gene" and the fawn father had the "white" gene" from his father.

White is white.

The American Boxer Breeders Association does not recommend breeding white Boxers.

It is not a recognized Boxer standard.

The reasons are that white Boxers can  be born deaf or blind or both, or can become deaf or blind, or both, at a later time as they grow.

Please discourage breeding of these white puppies and please do not breed again. I hate to see a disadvantaged puppy suffer.
