Why is a Boxer called 'sealed brindle'?

As a dog lover, I've always been curious about why some Boxers are called 'sealed brindles'. Turns out, it all has to do with their unique coat color. A 'sealed brindle' Boxer has such a heavy concentration of dark stripes that their fawn background color almost disappears, making them appear almost pure black. This effect is often referred to as 'sealed' because the dark stripes seem to completely seal over the lighter color. So, when you come across a dark-colored Boxer, you're probably looking at a 'sealed brindle'!
