Dam:
A-A lady dog with children; B-Expression frequently overheard at dog shows as losers leave the ring.
"Dance of the Sumo Wrestler":
when your boxer assumes the pooping position but can't seem to stand in one place. Instead he/she wiggles around in this position (usually stepping in its own fresh poop).
Dark brindle:
Heavily brindled, more black than fawn showing.
Dead Ant:
when the dog lies on its back with feet all sticking straight up, flews thrown back over their eyes, without moving, waiting for someone to either rub its tummy or come and play. The lack of wiggling makes this distinct from the Inverted kidney bean dance.
Deep Throat:
the act where boxers greet each other by licking the insides of each others mouths and throats. (see also French Kiss)
Devil dog:
when the eyes don't completely close and you can see the red part of the eye.
Dewclaws:
located on the inside of the leg, and just dangle there, subject to being torn or injured. Boxers have them only on the front legs.
Diebel maneuver:
Performed by the boxer when he/she runs at and catches a human at knee level and from slightly behind and to the side, so that the human is caught totally by surprise and goes down. This is a dangerous maneuver, often involving injury to the knee. (see also Crossbody Block and Near-Diebeling)
Digging to China:
with both front feet at the same time, they get this funny little pouncing/digging motion going in the blankets (See "Boxer Crate Rock," "Boxerrangement," "Flewforter") .
Dingo-recall ambush:
when one boxer either lies in wait for (in cat-pounce position) or heads off like a heat-seeking missile another boxer being recalled. The first calculates the angle and speed very accurately then jumps on the other's head.
Doing a Helio:
A boxer who wags so hard it hits its head with its butt is "doing a Helio." Dodge the Dog:
what boxer owners need to do when an excited boxer runs from a distance and proceeds to try to jump into your arms, knocking you down and almost knocking you out!
Dog-logging:
Pooper scooping
Drive-by Licking:
usually occurs right after a boxer drinks water. As he walks by, he licks so quickly that you don't have a chance to scold him and there you are with drool and water dripping down your leg, into your sock.
Double coated boxers:
actually seem to have an undercoat.
