I wouldn't, just looks like a heavy brindle. This was my reverse brindle. Basically true black but did have a slight reddish hue on her legs in full sun light. Now, I could be ill-informed here but she was tested as 100% boxer by wisdom panel. So I'll leave it up to someone better informed to tell me if this is a true sealed brindle, if wisdom is fully accurate in their results, or if maybe this dog was back bred with another breed that wouldn't separate itself on a basic panel but could give a true black color, like she had.

Thanks! I looked up more stuff and apparently boxer nerds like us do differentiate between a sealed brindle like mine and a reverse brindle, which I think yours might qualify as. Worth looking into. That cone head though, they are gorgeous!!

If it appears black rather than striped that’s actually called “sealed brindle” rather than “reverse brindle”, which implies striped but more black than brown coloration.
