American Toby Jug Museum 

Boxer toby jug in a majolica finish produced in France circa 1920. The boxer is a medium to large, short-haired dog breed of mastiff-type, developed in Germany. The coat is smooth and tight-fitting; colors are fawn, brindled, or white, with or without white markings. Boxers have broad, short skulls, a square muzzle, an underbite, and very strong jaws. They have a powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The boxer was bred from the Old English bulldog and the now extinct bullenbeisser, which became extinct by crossbreeding rather than by a decadence of the breed.
