Has anyone else seen the bump on their boxers head? Right on the top. Kinda makes them look like an egg head.

It is the occipital...all boxers have them. It is part of the Breed Standard according to the AKC.
My baby has one too...I love it...too cute when they are little - they're huge!

I don't know about boxers, but I had an Irish Setter, and its called the knowledge bump, the bigger the bump, the dumber the dog. And my dog had a HUGE bump and was REALLY stupid.

A lot of dogs have that my golden retriever has one too...I have heard that in the olden days they used to call them a 'loyalty bump' I don't know why they have the bump but as the dogs head gets bigger is goes away.

The bumps on the dogs heads are where their brains are. The bigger the bump the bigger the brain the smarter the dog.

Its normal that dogs have a bump on their heads, its were their brain is and people say that if they have a hump they are smarter.
