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.
