- Reverse brindle:
- Very heavily brindled with not much fawn showing.
- Ridgeback imitation; Mohawk look; hackle:
- occurs when a boxer (or any dog) feels aggressive, and the
hair on his/her back stands erect (hackles up); coat is so soft
and smooth; The erectile hairs along the back of the neck of
an animal, especially of a dog; [Middle English hakell, cloak,
skin, plumage, possibly from Old English hacele, cloak, mantle.]
When short haired dogs like Boxers become angry or frightened
those hairs stand straight up like a canine version of a Mohawk
haircut; The physical mechanism is the same as the one that causes
"gooseflesh" in human beings.
- Rockhounds:
- playing fetch in the water (using a *lava* rock) and all
you see is this little stubby tail sticking up like a periscope
and bubbles coming up from the other end.
- Running interference:
- occurs when a boxer breaks a command in order to go after
something he really wants when someone "runs interference"
for him by coming between you and him; what causes a boxer to
takes off from your side if there's something he REALLY WANTS.
