Not quite sure what you mean by this, can you explain your statement?

I haven't seen anything in my research that indicates white boxers are more prone to thyroid problems. Do you have any links you could share? Boxers in general have the genetic predisposition to thyroid diseases, that's why it's so important to screen breeding stock.
