No some do not breed the white boxers, however I have seen one reputable breeder do this about 10 years back in AL. This actually made me sick to know. She breed two flashly boxers together on purpose to produce 4 white puppies, and the rest normal color. I asked why would she do this. Her words it is better to put two flashy dogs together to get the show coat and take the risk with getting a few whites............she sold the whites one at 1500 each with two going full registration to another nice breeding program that was doing some study within her program.
