Did the KC kill off handy Boxers too then??

there some lovley looking Aluntes. I've seen them a few times on this site. There very useful looking dogs. I know they are cross breeds, are they an atempt to recreate the boxer? and is the modern day boxer useful for anything, or have they gone down the same route as the bullmastiff?

As far as I am aware the bull mastiff was originally bred for grounds and game keeper protection. But as far as I can see only KC style breeders seem interested them. Are there any thunderock style breeders about attempting to breed more useful qualities back into the great British Bullmastiff? Why do all the KC BM's have huge
