A BOXER is a wonderful medium sized family dog. He/she will be a
great companion and friend to you and your children. He is an active
dog AND WILL NEED VERY STRICT TRAINING*
for the first year of his life. If you don't have the time for this training then Please do not get
a Boxer!
He can be stubborn and aggravating then turn around and delight and
entertain you with his playful antics and exuberance for life. He will
play gently with the young children, rough-house with the adults, then
stand over you as if to say "come on you guys, I am just getting
started". You can hurt his feelings easily by the tone of your voice
or by ignoring him. Love him and your love will be returned ten
fold. Anyone who does not love a BOXER does not know a BOXER.
The BOXER is definitely NOT an "outdoor" breed. A BOXER does not have
the coat needed for the cold winter and because of their shorter
muzzle, they do not tolerate the heat of summer. They must be
protected from the elements, always.
