Thanks for your answers so far. Vaseline sounds like a good idea. Just to clarify that White boxers are not rare its just that most breeders kill the them when they are pups which is another topis, it is rare however that they do have problems with they're eyes and ears. I did get him checked though. There is no difference between him and my brindle. My Brindle does not get marksas she has a mask. Will try vaseline. Thanks for now.

Eye Envy will clean the stains and will keep the hair dry. I use it on my Shih Tzu and it works great! You can't buy it in stores because it has no perservatives and does not have bleach or peroxide. I will not use anything but this on my baby. This is the store I buy mine at. The lady is so nice and if something isn't right she makes it right! http://stores.ebay.com/S-B-Pet-Products

first of all let me tell you white boxers are not rare. also you only get problems with white when you breed from a white boxer. I have been showing and breeding boxers for 15 years and always get a white puppy in my litters I have never had a deaf one or had problems with their eyes the oldest dog in my kennels is a white boxer aged 13'.as with any breed that has wrinles on their face special attention should be paid to the area around the eyes. give them a wipe with cool boiled water and cotton wool this should help.

My father rescued a white boxer from a severly abusive owner. He got her healthy again and gave her to his sister so my aunt watches over her. She has the same problem and they just use a wet cloth or paper towel. It won't make it totally white again, but it helps.
I'm sure you know this, but just in case you don't, White Boxers are rare because they tend to have so many health conditions. The main ones being their eyes and their ears. They tend to go blind and deaf at some point (but not all of them) along with other conditions. So, knowing that their eyes are extremely critical and delicate, please don't try to use anything harsh chemically wise around the eyes.
Just replying back again :) The white boxer here was odd because she was actually being used as a puppy mill, the poor thing. The 3 vets that we took her to told us that 90% of white boxers have problems. I'm glad yours doesn't. :)

Just take a cotton ball or small piece of cloth and wet it with some warm water. First pick off and big chunks then wipe with the cloth or cotton ball. This should clean the area.
If you prefer, you can go to your vet and they can give you some solution to clean the marks with. They also sell things in the pet store. Try Petco or petsmart if you have one near you.
Good luck with your dog!

My poodle used to get that, i couldn't clean the area well but to avoid anymore marks i used to put a little Vaseline under her eyes so the tears didn't stain
