Probably not the dumbest smart dog, lol, but I also just lived with a Border for a year. The Boxer in the video is so stereotypical though, constant WHAT'S THAT?!!?, lol
Thats so true....playing on the balcony with my ball...whoopsi....open the door from the livingroom, open the door to the stairhouse, open the door to the garden, walk around the house, pick up my ball, walk all the way back to the balcony and - whoopsi.......^^
I have always said that, people always say boxers are dumb/stupid and they dont listen. Boxers play dumb but are very smart, so smart that they know how to act dumb lol. They are the most loving and loyal breeds, and dont ever try to ruff up there human children cause they will become aggressive
@@DB-er9lc Boxer mastiff cross in my home. Excruciatingly stubborn. Knows what's being said, just (mostly) doesn't want to do it (much like my kids). Beautiful part of our family, wouldn't trade her in for the world!
@@donnasnow4733 HAHA!! My boy would turn one ear.... because he heard what you said, but, if he was looking at something else he would not look at you or do what you said until he was ready!!
Mine had selective memory. He learned every trick I taught him within minutes and performed it like a pro the very next day and every day after ... Except "roll over". Learned it quick, decided it wasn't comfortable for him, forgot it just as quick. But, he remembered he didn't like it so he played dumb if I ever tried to reintroduce the trick at a later date. Crazy smart and eager to please, but definitely stubborn (and smart) enough to play dumb when they feel like it.
With the energy levels in boxers. There 100 % energy and then absolutely 0% energy. My boxer plays HARD for 10 minutes and then he won’t get off the couch
YES! My boy came stock with factory settings: on & off. He has ZERO in between... especially if I have to disturb his slumber to make him go potty before bed & before I leave for work. 😂
My boy bug's me to death to play but he is still a puppy he take all my blankets off of me when i want to go to sleep he want's to play I hope this ends soon lol
True! And this seems to be the most consistent trait to be passed on the boxer mixes too! I've had two boxer mixes (each mixed with a different breed) and my aunt had the sister of my first dog, and they were all forever-puppies! And all three would box when playing. That seams to be the most dominant gene in boxers. 😍😍😍
My boxer lived to the ripe old age of 15 and still acted like a pup, if any thing she behaved worse, snatching food off the table when no one was looking, some thing she never ever done in the past.
I'm adopting a 9 year old boxer from a shelter soon! She's had a hard life (cancer, abuse, being used as a breeder in a puppy mill), but she's so sweet and kind, loves all people and dogs! Obviously she's an old girl so she's very calm, I think it will be a lot of cuddles, sleeping and chill walks.
Boxer's have the longest puppy it takes 3 years for a Boxer to reach maturity. At about 5 years their energy does come down, they become dignified, they like to lounge a lot, but when it's play time they will play hard. Just get used to the fact that she will take 3/4 of your bed and allow you to have 1/4. They like to talk, Boxers are very expressive both verbally and in their body language, they learn quite quickly how to communicate with humans. ua-cam.com/video/CRtUySYky80/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/H6yL4v9Z1f4/v-deo.html
My girl boxer was actually the runt of the litter but pretty much most of her life was 68 pounds. Ada my love. She lived to be 12 years 8 and a 1/2 months! Your girl is gonna do just wonderful! I was unable to get any dogs so I just actually adopted a 14 and a 1/2 year old cat Ella. She is a love and having a cat is a trip! I have not had a cat in years.
I have had boxers my entire life. They are the best dogs in the world. Sweet, loving, loyal and their personalities are off the charts amazing. They are 100 percent unique. I have 2 right now and they are the joys of my life. They are happiness on four legs.
Completely agree with this review, this breed is not for everyone and people don’t understand they need all the attention they deserve. You can’t leave them in the backyard without coming home to a mess if you don’t train them. But this breed is my favorite has the best personalities, temperament is great with family and kids and they do shed but I don’t mind. I love my boxers and I wish people would appreciate this breed more.
They can be a 130% handful. They truly are like 2 year old humans for their entire lives. They LOVE their humans and want to be near them 24/7. I doubt I could own a different breed though. My boys have kept me on my toes, but I'd have it no other way.
I absolutely love my boxer. She's such a huge baby! I actually just had to carry her into the groomers because she didn't want to walk. She's stubborn but she's a goof ball.
Julian Huth me either iv owned 2 come across lots and never known or heard of aggression, mine has only ever defended himself when attacked and that is only against breeds that are the same size or bigger, he will just kind of pour off a small dog that’s having a go at him
Mine is very aggressive towards trespassers. Anyone not known that comes over he is in immediate protection mode. Dogs, random animals, people. He doesnt care.
I've had Boxers all my life and I'm 57 the only time any of my dogs barked was when someone was at the door and that was very short lived. Greatest breed In the world!! Very blessed!!
Best dog ever. They had never caught my attention until about two years ago when a customer of mine had brought one in. I fell in love with it and got one a week later. She was trained to use a bell to go out within two weeks and she is just the best. She's never gone after my cats and she's never been aggressive to new people coming around. He is correct though, no matter how much they love you they will bolt if the door is open and the chase is horrible
n a boxer the best breed hands down in the world health issue can happen with any dog a boxer is your most loyal smartest best temperament dog you can ever own we've had boxers in our family for 50 years there is no comparison they become a member of the family just like a child the only problem is they don't live long enough
Boxers are awesome!! My wife, son and I have had 3 in the last 12 years. We lost two to cancer, and one to tragic circumstances surrounding a fight over toys (she died of shock about an hour or so after the fight, even though her physical injuries were not serious). In spite of the heartbreak of losing them all too soon, the love, hugs & kisses, cuddles, and plain fun of their playful, goofy nature made it more than worth every tear!! They are forever in our hearts!!
I had a boxer that we just put down a few weeks ago due to throat and nasal cancer. He was 11 years old, easy to train, loved me and my family, would be right next to us if we were sick and wouldn’t leave our side. He instantly became a member of our family and we would take him everywhere. I remember picking him out when I was 8 years old because he was very flighty and would always try and get away from the rest of the pack so it was easy to pick him up 😂. I would definitely recommend a boxer dog to anyone who is looking to get a dog.
BEST BREED EVER!!! I have the most wonderful boxer, he is sweet, active, fun and just wonderful. Lot's of socialization and training when he was a puppy and also very smart, learns everything soo easy. Boxers are the best dogs!
@@jagirl281 My dog is a boxer mix. He is beyond high energy, extremely loyal, very intelligent, stubborn, full body of muscle super lean/athletic, loves to jump/run/box/play CONSTANTLY. if you are not high energy or willing to spend the time with them I wouldn't recommend one. My dog is a half boxer (Dad is a pure bred white boxer) and then 1/4 pitbull, 1/4 german sheperd (Mom is half pitty half sheperd). Like he said they will take off on you when off leash lol but are so friendly. Training is essential. U need to start early and really focus on training and be consistent. Most amazing dog ive met hes hilarious loving and intelligent in so many ways he learns new things and teaches me everyday. Super healthy cause of the mix breed. Heres a picture
Liam I had three Boxers along with a Weimaraner and a Beagle! All five got along extremely well! Boxers are playful and natural guard dogs , yet the MOST GENTLE WITH CHILDREN! Sadly four dogs passed. I now have my soon to be ten year old rescue , the absolute greatest dog ever! He was through two abusive homes with his sister by eight months old ! I was lucky enough to get him, foster kept his sister. I wanted the both of them as they were bonded. This dog will not destroy anything , if I leave food right next to him he won't take it, amazing ! I disagree they are hyper. They are playful throughout life , yet couch potatoes just wanting to snuggle with their humans when inside. The only dog I would completely trust alone with my grandchildren. My dog is an exception in many ways , you have to watch children don't pull on any dog . My Boxer looks a lot like the Boxer in your video. Except in his brindle markings he has a white triangle , and on the white area of his chest a Brindle heart ❤️. I believe my guy is from Germany , as he is 78lbs very broad chested and narrow in the waist . My other two ( litter brothers ) one was 98lbs and the other 78-80lbs. They always slept on top of each other. I miss having all the dogs.
Boxer Captions: 0:00 "Wait... Whoa... Hol'up There's a heckin fly, AFter Hiiiim!!!" 0:29 "I'll just wait... He's talking to the air for some reason" 0:57 "heckin finally... Some attention! he's still talking to himself tho, humans do me a frighten sometimes...

Boxers are the funniest and daftest dogs ever. They are absolutely crazy, we had 2 called Bruno and Tyson and they were so goofy. They will play with anything, hilarious to watch. Boxers are so friendly, the way they look at you with those big eyes, best dogs ever!
I have a beautiful boxer who is 2 years old he ways 100 pounds, he’s not only a good dog but a best friend he’s a gentle giant who loves everything, he’s my baby !❤️
My boxers are definitely vocal around strangers but as soon as we show them through our behavior that the person is welcome and a friend our boxers are just giant love bugs. In fact I get jealous by how much attention they seek from some friends I invite over 😆
Ha, mine is the same way, he gets super excited to have other people in the house, for the first 18 months of his life he would pee the moment any outsider would pet him
As an owner of 3 boxers, can confirm. Although, I have to add that my American boxers were more approachable & cuddly, my German boxer is much less so. They're all barkers at home, but my German (Axel) is less comfortable with strangers, but LOVES other dogs. I could see him in a "protection" job if he had the right training. The other two? 😂😂 They're just big doofs & love everyone. Also, boxers have 2 settings: on & off. When they play, they play HARD. Love to wrestle and rough house. But my boys *love* their naps. They can be happy being lazy with their human, but they get bored easily (especially since they're usually smart af) and can be super destructive if they're not stimulated enough. But boy I tell ya... I'll never own a different breed. They're amazing and I love how much personality they have. And LOOK AT HER STUPID FACE!! I just wanna give her hugs and kisses all over that adorable mug! 😍😍😍
I had a boxer since he was weaned from his mother and he never was aggressive towards anyone, never ran off down the street, he was the sweetest, goofiest dog ever. Unfortunately we lost him last month due to cardiomyopathy at 8 yrs. old.
My boxer is amazing! I got her as a Christmas present, then 5 years later she saved me. She is now my service dog. She loves working and loves keeping me safe.
Boxers are awesome. I just got my 3rd boxer. I bought the puppy from a family that wanted a boxer, but had never had experience with this breed. He was too high energy for them. They had bought the puppy from a woman who wasn't feeding him properly. I would like to emphasize how important it is to research a breed prior to choosing one. Despite my research of 2 years prior to getting my 1st boxer, I still learned a lot about the breed after buying her. Boxers are not for everyone. Thank you so very much Liam Murphy for bringing up the potential aggressiveness. I had learned that 1 out of 4 boxers are aggressive. I think your statistics are more accurate provided they are trained properly. They were bred as Schutzhunden (protector dogs) in the same group as German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers. I learned the most from my 1st dog's Schutzhund trainer who helped only with basic training of heeling, etc. They can make great service animals for the right person because they are intelligent and highly sensitive to the owner's needs. My 1st boxer was a service animal. And thank you also, Liam for stressing how important it is to start training early with a concentrated effort. They are unusually strong for their size. Because they are high energy, they tend to lose weight easily when young. Because boxers are prone to cancer, my boxers have had more vet visits to check on growths and lumps. And many vet visits for eye infections and scratched corneas which is more common in brachycephalic dogs. I recommend selecting a breeder who does genetic testing for Subaortic Stenosis and Degenerative Myelopathy, two common boxer ailments. Bottom line. Boxers are high maintenance. I have seen too many boxers or boxer mixes in shelters and rescues because the boxer was not properly trained or too high energy.
I was collecting info about boxers for a while, and really want to get one in near future.. I have garden and i like outdoor activities like fishing etc, so dog would get plenty to do.. I am just worried about one thing- leaving boxer at what you call dog hotel when away for holidays.. because I live in diferent country I am not able to leave it for parents, brother etc.. from my experience in owning dachshund for 15 years I wasnt able to leave her away for a day, I mean away from all familly.. After we left her once at my granny, I got a call next day that she didnt eat at all just sitting at the door and had to go and take her back.. wonderring how boxer would react to that? maybe kennel would be diferent as they got more dogs in, plenty toys and activities for the dogs.. Anyone experienced leaving your dog for a week? thanks in advance😀
Our experience of getting boxer puppies in England 🇬🇧 Always see the Boxer puppy with it's mum and litter of siblings. Don't get a boxer where the mum growls/is aggressive towards you. Go for a boxer with a gentle mum instead. That reflected in our Boxers temperament. Avoid puppy farms can be harder if it's less obvious. For example: a quick set up in a laundry room of a house. Not with proper bedding, water, food, toys, warmth, snappy mother boxer dog. Go with your gut feeling on this. Wish you well. We called our gentle, goofy, family boxer: Bella. Had her for ten years. She died of cancer complications. We do still miss her. Wish you well with your Boxer dog adventures. They are a fantastic breed.
I've had a Boxer for 14 years. Not 1 time we went to the vet. Never ever has he shown any aggression. He never barked his head off just when he needed to. Energy level very high indeed. But can be very quiet, sleepy and cuddly too. A bit stubborn indeed, but yes from puppy days, consistent, and then no problem. They are funny, sweet, goofy, loving and great company dogs. I've had many other dogs as I rescue dogs, but for me the Boxer was the easiest. I also rescued a boxer. He was good as gold as well. The breed is fab!
I was 3 nearly 4 when we got a boxerdog and he was so soft natured and all he wanted was attention, he was the perfect first pet to grow up to. He was never aggressive he only ever growled near the end of his life when he was in pain other than that he was a great dog
I've had a albine boxer for 14 years. Cancer was his cause of death, however, the disease was a come and go reality for him, mostly naturally, with no need for any aggressive treatment, except for the last one, when he was 14 years old. He was the sweetest dog ever, and so freaking beautiful. Not dummy at all, I would say he was actually quite intelligent.
Our boxer has an amazing personality and loves kids, I have a cousin and he’s scared of every dog except my boxer. Although he’s very protective but would never attack or hurt anything unless it hurt me or my siblings which is amazing for a family dog as we feel safer when we have them home with us 😊
I had a boxer named Taco. He was the best. He was best in show before he came to us. When I broke my leg, he picked up on it right away before anyone else did. He also saved my brother from being stung by wasps. We use to play monster with him. Where we hide under the blankets and my Dad use to hit the blanket. He would playfully start attacking the blanket. He was gentle when he attacked the blanket. He was an American boxer. he was a big boy. Also fun fact about boxer they also went after bulls too.
We have a 12 year old boxer that has been fabulous! Fun loving and so sweet! She wants to be an eighty pound lap dog. We feel so fortunate to have had very little health issues. We love our Daisy!
Amazing dogs, had two growing up, not for people who need personal space. Love how they drape their heads off everything when they sleep. lol Such characters.
Adopted my first boxer puppy a year and half ago, my boxer girl is the sweetest, most loveable dog ever, she has a very goofy and silly personality 😂 a ton of energy she runs everyday with me and she still has energy to burn 😍
On the health issue stats, make sure your breeder does heart testing, kidney testing and hip testing. Boxers, being deep chested dogs, tend to be prone to cardiac related issues. They also become very bonded to their families. I've had boxers since I was a child, mostly mom and pup pairs and finally as an adult have my own special girl, Wicket. Boxers are special and lot of what you say is true however the activity levels of most boxers tend to taper off as they age. They have the longest puppyhood, slowing down around 4 years old. In my perso al experience with now 5 different boxers over my life, their energy comes in waves, spurts so to speak. They are sensitive dogs, who read you emotions and react accordingly. My favorite breed by far and will never own anything else.
I had two boxer girls a tiger brindle and a flashy red they didn't calm down until they got to ten years old, sadly lost them both just before they hit thirteen, still miss them both terribly but now have a beautiful white boxer girl with one brown ear and she is as mad as a box of frogs but I love her to bits
My dad is 93. My mom died May 17 2021. They had been married 71 years. So on the 5th of August my dad had our 7 1/2 year old 110lb Fawn & White male AKC Boxer outside next to the driveway on a leash. He told me he was sitting there thinking about my mom when a UPS driver stopped and came running up the driveway when Chesty started barking and jumped at the driver. My dad stood up and kept the dog under control and the UPS drive tossed the package in the driveway. As my dad turned around to walk back to his chair a man came walking down the Public Sidewalk and Chesty started barking and pulled my dad and my dad fell keeping control of Chesty the whole time, but when he fell he broke his hip. So the surgeon operated and replace his old hip. He was gone 21 days from home in the hospital and rehabilitation. He was looking forward to coming home especially because he missed his dog. He loved that dog like a child. The night before he came home Chesty was acting kind of lethargic. When my dad came home Chesty didn't seem to excited to see him. He came over to my dad and laid down by his feet. Then my dad said Chesty is trying to stand up and he can't. So I went over there and he started stiffing up his legs and all of the sudden he died. It was horrible. I saw my mom die and then this dog. But the good news is we have a puppy that will be 8 weeks old coming Friday. He is a little male Brindle. AKC. This will make the fifth male boxer I've owned. I had a female that lived 13 years and one male that lived 9 years but the other three died in the 7th year of their life. Once you've owned a boxer you're hooked on them. The only bad thing is they don't live to long. By the way he had just had his three year Rabbis shot and exam on month before this.
I love this breed I had 2 in my life .and yes they have selected hearing but very loving dog .my passed away with heart issues he was only 8 years old it's being only 6 months and I miss him dearly. His name was Suez and yes they are bit goofy. Miss both my friends Rocky passed he was 13 and that was about 25 years ago.loved those doggies and miss them both DEARLY.
I LOVE my Boxer puppy. I'm retired and am having so much fun with her. I love her energy, personality and her selective hearing. :) Even though the average life span is 8-10 years, and there are the inherent health problems, I would make the same choice. She's made me so happy and I hope to help her know she is loved for as long as I have her.
I have a 11 year old female boxer and she’s still very healthy. She’s about 23” and weighs 58 lbs. I’ve had no discipline issue at all. She will wander off occasionally while I’m working in yard, though not far. But never had her bolt down the street. Never really had her destroy furniture or chew up shoes. She always has had a toy like a Kong and her favorite plastic bottles to work over. However stuffed animals don’t last more than a week. I can’t imagine life without her, she goes everywhere with me. When she passes I’m up for another.
I have been a boxer mom for years now and the best quality they have is that they’re GREAT with kids and are extremely patient! We travel a lot and we take our three boxers everywhere. At age 4-5 they become couch potatoes. I have such an easy time training them but then again I work with animals for a living.
I have a German Boxer and he is large! Now I admit I do over feed him, he weighs 104lbs but he is the most loyal and best behavior dog ever. He is goofy but I love him so much! I have 3 other friends that have them and they are the same
European are bigger then American bread. Couple things misinformed. That is what my boxer looks like. Everything else seems spot on! Only mine isn't flighty thank God lol
The German, the British, and the American boxers have different looks, German more mastiff like, American more athletic, and Britain's somewhere's in the middle.
My 8 year old boxer is extremely obedient and is not flighty in the least. He also has never been hyperactive and actually prefers napping all day. There are exceptions to every rule but I'm hoping our next boxer will be just as good a boy as this one.
We have had five boxers ( current one is 18 months old). They are the most amazing breed. All five have been amazing in temperament, even the rescues. Yes, the can be a tad stubborn and do require steady solid training through out their life. However, their fun loving nature and enthusiasm make up for that. They are the Peter Pan of the dog world.
My 1.2 year old German Boxer “CASH”looks identical to YOUR BOXER! You my friend are right on point with all the characteristics of Boxers, this is my 4th one and all that I have had all pretty close to the same. Great Job! 😎👍🏼
Anyone know what is the average lifespan of a male Boxer? About 10-12 years? I was going to write a lengthy goodbye to my boy who passed away yesterday in suspicious circumstances at the vets but its very lengthy indeed and will probably not be welcome by everyone.. RIP Merlin.. You were the best part of my life.. Hope to see you soon buddy..
My first dog was a boxer and all that have followed. They all, unfortunately, had health issues starting at about age seven? (which of course is heartbreaking.) However, they are so incredible, it is worth doing all you can with diet, etc. to keep them healthy. They are smart, sweet and have very funny personalities; they know it, too! Love Boxers!
Love Love Love the Boxer !! Good review, I agree these are high energy family dogs that will cuddle and love you and will certainly protect you. I have a female half euro half American and a male rescue who is half Boxer part Shepard and part pit. Over the years I have loved and lost 6 to cancer, all after the age of ten.
I’ve had two dogs within my life, one half breed and one pure. We adopted both. My pure bred (lexy) is not aggressive, she is protective over us by barking but she quiets down pretty fast. I love her so much, she is gentle and loyal and so funny. She needs so much attention, we play frisbee a lot with her, she helps me practice for Ultimate Frisbee. She has had a bladder problem (probably from old age). She’s extremely stubborn, selective hearing is her thing. She’s also so smart, it makes her dumb😂😂.
Everyone should own a boxer! I have a one year old and she’s is the sweetest. She’s very attached to the family but they do like to cuddle too much 😂 she tells on my kids when they’re bothering her. She is active but it’s not overwhelming. Perfect to be around kids and having moderate exercise.
Boxers are awesome! The only aggression I ever saw in my female was when my 3yo daughter and I were yelled at by a door to door salesman and when my parents dog barked at her and tried to bite her. Zena laid the "don't touch my girl" law down on him . She protected my daughter like she was her puppy!
I have a 3 year old white Boxer and she is so loving and gentle, I trust her around kids way more than my Shih Tzu. One thing I will say though is she is very skepticle of strangers or dogs who send out mixed signals. She is very protective and she does bark a lot if she hears noises in the backyard etc. I sort of understand the aggression rating because although she has never attacked anything, I do know she would probably do so in a tough scenario. Boxers are amazing dogs, a good balance of love and protectiveness. Mine is very smart and well trained, I can walk her off leash but I had to be SO firm with her when she was young. If you can get past the first year successfully then Boxers are very rewarding.
Our Boxer Cara ("she who gives love" in Latin) was the sweetest and most honest creature that I have ever known. She was smart and very empathic too, being able to "read" our feelings. She had her own will and could pout if not getting what she wanted. She had a pedigree and came from a line of (European) champions, but with us she was just another member of the family. She was never alone and she had a good life with us. Born in 2004, we had her pass away in 2017. She is still dearly missed.
My boxer is 2 years old, he turns 3 on September 2nd. He is SOOO stubborn sometimes, he is really active once he gets outside, I trained him everything essential, I'm still training him. He barks his square head off when he sees anyone or anything pass the window when my brother and I are home alone, if I open that front door he just might go full on guard dog mode. But I love him, he's a sweet boy who will never grow out of that hyper puppy state😂😂
We have had boxers in our family for thirty years when my son who is now 18 was born we had three boxers in our home ....they are high high energy, ..loving, affectionate, funny, loyal, and daft as a brush, never had a wicked one, some of the males didn’t like other males other then that great with other dogs ...and yes lumps lumps lumps ..cancer had been an issue with some of ours ...... we had one who lived 13 years others 10/11.....we lost one to cancer at 7 ...boxers love love love their people ! they DO NOT do well being left alone ....when we had our first one we left her alone to work ....and come home to a shredded Sofa like it had been snowing in my living room ....and destroyed kitchen table and chairs the destruction stop when we get another dog. ....they are wonderful dogs like Liam said Training key ....and don’t get one if you work all day and the dog is home alone ...not fair !
We are looking to adopt a Boxer We were thinking of getting a 3 to 7 yr old Both my husband are in our 70's so a puppy is outa the question It has been nearly 2 mo since our Molly died. The Boxer completes us !!Also all 3 of our children were raised with Boxers .
Boxers...either the smartest 'Dumb' dog you've ever seen...or the dumbest 'Smart' dog you've ever seen. I LOVE ALL MY BOXERS...they are the best!!
Probably not the dumbest smart dog, lol, but I also just lived with a Border for a year.
The Boxer in the video is so stereotypical though, constant WHAT'S THAT?!!?, lol
Lol good comment love it because so true.
Most accurate description I've ever read! Smart enough to learn every trick in minutes ... And then walk into a wall because he forgot it was there. 😂
Thats so true....playing on the balcony with my ball...whoopsi....open the door from the livingroom, open the door to the stairhouse, open the door to the garden, walk around the house, pick up my ball, walk all the way back to the balcony and - whoopsi.......^^
I have always said that, people always say boxers are dumb/stupid and they dont listen. Boxers play dumb but are very smart, so smart that they know how to act dumb lol. They are the most loving and loyal breeds, and dont ever try to ruff up there human children cause they will become aggressive
Boxer a little stubborn, understatement of the year 😂. They have very selective hearing.
I have a mastiff, boxer,pitbull mix. He is one yrs old and he's very playful and very stubborn ...lol
@@DB-er9lc Boxer mastiff cross in my home. Excruciatingly stubborn. Knows what's being said, just (mostly) doesn't want to do it (much like my kids). Beautiful part of our family, wouldn't trade her in for the world!
Paul Mccaffrey Right!! They hear you on, their schedule!!! 😱😎. But I adore them! No better breed!! To know a Boxer is to always Love Boxers!!! 😍🥰♥️
@@donnasnow4733 HAHA!! My boy would turn one ear.... because he heard what you said, but, if he was looking at something else he would not look at you or do what you said until he was ready!!

With the energy levels in boxers. There 100 % energy and then absolutely 0% energy. My boxer plays HARD for 10 minutes and then he won’t get off the couch
YES! My boy came stock with factory settings: on & off. He has ZERO in between... especially if I have to disturb his slumber to make him go potty before bed & before I leave for work. 😂
Same! My boxer and golden retriever are the same way they will play like crazy then just crash and nap the rest of the day
same as mine 🤔 my boxer also does the same
Sooo true!!!
My boy bug's me to death to play but he is still a puppy he take all my blankets off of me when i want to go to sleep he want's to play I hope this ends soon lol
I have had a couple of boxers in my life one thing I have noticed is they never really seem to grow up, always the puppy when it comes to playing.
So true! My boxer is 11 and a half years old and still LOVES to play with tennis balls and chew toys as if he's still a goofy lil' puppy
Very true! Mine (I’ve had four over the years) have all only ever slowed down a little in old age.
True! And this seems to be the most consistent trait to be passed on the boxer mixes too! I've had two boxer mixes (each mixed with a different breed) and my aunt had the sister of my first dog, and they were all forever-puppies! And all three would box when playing. That seams to be the most dominant gene in boxers. 😍😍😍
My boxer lived to the ripe old age of 15 and still acted like a pup, if any thing she behaved worse, snatching food off the table when no one was looking, some thing she never ever done in the past.
Boxers are the best
I'm adopting a 9 year old boxer from a shelter soon! She's had a hard life (cancer, abuse, being used as a breeder in a puppy mill), but she's so sweet and kind, loves all people and dogs! Obviously she's an old girl so she's very calm, I think it will be a lot of cuddles, sleeping and chill walks.
That is so kind of you. Boxers love to cuddle.
Boxer's have the longest puppy it takes 3 years for a Boxer to reach maturity. At about 5 years their energy does come down, they become dignified, they like to lounge a lot, but when it's play time they will play hard. Just get used to the fact that she will take 3/4 of your bed and allow you to have 1/4. They like to talk, Boxers are very expressive both verbally and in their body language, they learn quite quickly how to communicate with humans. ua-cam.com/video/CRtUySYky80/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/H6yL4v9Z1f4/v-deo.html
My girl boxer was actually the runt of the litter but pretty much most of her life was 68 pounds. Ada my love. She lived to be 12 years 8 and a 1/2 months! Your girl is gonna do just wonderful! I was unable to get any dogs so I just actually adopted a 14 and a 1/2 year old cat Ella. She is a love and having a cat is a trip! I have not had a cat in years.
That's beautiful my boxer had a hard life as well but she was a great dog the best
Go for it. One of our favorites was a shelter pick at 9 to 10 yo.
I have had boxers my entire life. They are the best dogs in the world. Sweet, loving, loyal and their personalities are off the charts amazing. They are 100 percent unique. I have 2 right now and they are the joys of my life. They are happiness on four legs.
I would fully agree we have two love them to bits
EXACTLY WELL SAID .....BRINDAL BOXER IS THE BEST BREAD ....
I had a boxer for 10 yrs...Never a dull moment...Best dog ever!!! RIP Titan...
Cool! Do u suggest a girl or boy boxer ?!
Completely agree with this review, this breed is not for everyone and people don’t understand they need all the attention they deserve. You can’t leave them in the backyard without coming home to a mess if you don’t train them. But this breed is my favorite has the best personalities, temperament is great with family and kids and they do shed but I don’t mind. I love my boxers and I wish people would appreciate this breed more.
They can be a 130% handful. They truly are like 2 year old humans for their entire lives. They LOVE their humans and want to be near them 24/7.
I doubt I could own a different breed though. My boys have kept me on my toes, but I'd have it no other way.
To be honest. All dogs need attention. I can’t stand people who leave their dogs alone all day inside a small apartment or outside.
I absolutely love my boxer. She's such a huge baby! I actually just had to carry her into the groomers because she didn't want to walk. She's stubborn but she's a goof ball.
I had my boxer for 15 years, best dog I’ve ever had. So loving yet so protective. The best personality in the dog world.
Cool so do you suggest a girl or boy boxer for a first time dog owner
@@moniegibs390 I don’t know really. I had a bitch myself, but she was really calm for a boxer.
Best dog. The most amazing dogs. Our girl loved to 14 and was silly, sweet, and incredibly bull headed. Miss her everyday.
Ive never seen an aggressive boxer
Julian Huth me either iv owned 2 come across lots and never known or heard of aggression, mine has only ever defended himself when attacked and that is only against breeds that are the same size or bigger, he will just kind of pour off a small dog that’s having a go at him
Me neither, at least not with humans, maybe towards another dog, if the other dog is being a dick! 🐶
Same here had 3 and all are amazing
I have only seen agression towards other dogs, never a person
Mine is very aggressive towards trespassers. Anyone not known that comes over he is in immediate protection mode. Dogs, random animals, people. He doesnt care.
I got a 4 year old boxer, I’ve had him since he was several weeks old & man I love him. Boxers are truly one of a kind 😍
I've had Boxers all my life and I'm 57 the only time any of my dogs barked was when someone was at the door and that was very short lived. Greatest breed In the world!! Very blessed!!
Best dog ever. They had never caught my attention until about two years ago when a customer of mine had brought one in. I fell in love with it and got one a week later. She was trained to use a bell to go out within two weeks and she is just the best. She's never gone after my cats and she's never been aggressive to new people coming around. He is correct though, no matter how much they love you they will bolt if the door is open and the chase is horrible
n a boxer the best breed hands down in the world health issue can happen with any dog a boxer is your most loyal smartest best temperament dog you can ever own we've had boxers in our family for 50 years there is no comparison they become a member of the family just like a child the only problem is they don't live long enough
I agree a 100% The best breed in the world love mine so much
Yesss I wish they lived a lot longer
My favorite breed. Funny goofy and always a pup at heart
What a beautiful and kind boxer you have. You can do anything to him and he doesn't care. Boxers are the best.
Boxers are awesome!! My wife, son and I have had 3 in the last 12 years. We lost two to cancer, and one to tragic circumstances surrounding a fight over toys (she died of shock about an hour or so after the fight, even though her physical injuries were not serious). In spite of the heartbreak of losing them all too soon, the love, hugs & kisses, cuddles, and plain fun of their playful, goofy nature made it more than worth every tear!! They are forever in our hearts!!
I had a boxer that we just put down a few weeks ago due to throat and nasal cancer. He was 11 years old, easy to train, loved me and my family, would be right next to us if we were sick and wouldn’t leave our side. He instantly became a member of our family and we would take him everywhere. I remember picking him out when I was 8 years old because he was very flighty and would always try and get away from the rest of the pack so it was easy to pick him up 😂. I would definitely recommend a boxer dog to anyone who is looking to get a dog.
I have a boxer and she is the best
That's not possible. I have a boxer and he is the best.
NOW NONE OF THOSE ARE POSSIBLE I HAVE A BOXER AND SHE IS THE BEST PERIOD.
BEST BREED EVER!!! I have the most wonderful boxer, he is sweet, active, fun and just wonderful. Lot's of socialization and training when he was a puppy and also very smart, learns everything soo easy. Boxers are the best dogs!
Knuckleheads....the lot of 'em. And I love every single one of them for it.
“Knuckleheads”.... best description of a boxer lol
Boxers are such goofy dogs. My dog is a boxer mix
Absolutely!
I am looking for a pit boxer mix. Would you recommend?
@@jagirl281 My dog is a boxer mix. He is beyond high energy, extremely loyal, very intelligent, stubborn, full body of muscle super lean/athletic, loves to jump/run/box/play CONSTANTLY. if you are not high energy or willing to spend the time with them I wouldn't recommend one. My dog is a half boxer (Dad is a pure bred white boxer) and then 1/4 pitbull, 1/4 german sheperd (Mom is half pitty half sheperd). Like he said they will take off on you when off leash lol but are so friendly. Training is essential. U need to start early and really focus on training and be consistent. Most amazing dog ive met hes hilarious loving and intelligent in so many ways he learns new things and teaches me everyday. Super healthy cause of the mix breed. Heres a picture
Liam I had three Boxers along with a Weimaraner and a Beagle! All five got along extremely well! Boxers are playful and natural guard dogs , yet the MOST GENTLE WITH CHILDREN! Sadly four dogs passed. I now have my soon to be ten year old rescue , the absolute greatest dog ever! He was through two abusive homes with his sister by eight months old ! I was lucky enough to get him, foster kept his sister. I wanted the both of them as they were bonded. This dog will not destroy anything , if I leave food right next to him he won't take it, amazing ! I disagree they are hyper. They are playful throughout life , yet couch potatoes just wanting to snuggle with their humans when inside. The only dog I would completely trust alone with my grandchildren. My dog is an exception in many ways , you have to watch children don't pull on any dog . My Boxer looks a lot like the Boxer in your video. Except in his brindle markings he has a white triangle , and on the white area of his chest a Brindle heart ❤️. I believe my guy is from Germany , as he is 78lbs very broad chested and narrow in the waist . My other two ( litter brothers ) one was 98lbs and the other 78-80lbs. They always slept on top of each other. I miss having all the dogs.

Boxers are the funniest and daftest dogs ever. They are absolutely crazy, we had 2 called Bruno and Tyson and they were so goofy. They will play with anything, hilarious to watch. Boxers are so friendly, the way they look at you with those big eyes, best dogs ever!
😂😂 The beginning, he was like who is he talking to?
I really like your humor and enjoyed every review and every dog - looking forward for more
O! You’re the best!
I appreciate that you talked about over breeding and the side effects that come with it
That little guy is so over your review. 🤣🤣🤣 I absolutely love that this shows the facial expressions that these beautiful babies show.
I love how when you start talking he's like
"What!? Who's here?? Who ya talkin' to? Introoda? Fren??"
I have a beautiful boxer who is 2 years old he ways 100 pounds, he’s not only a good dog but a best friend he’s a gentle giant who loves everything, he’s my baby !❤️
My boxers are definitely vocal around strangers but as soon as we show them through our behavior that the person is welcome and a friend our boxers are just giant love bugs. In fact I get jealous by how much attention they seek from some friends I invite over 😆
exactly the same with mine :)
Ha, mine is the same way, he gets super excited to have other people in the house, for the first 18 months of his life he would pee the moment any outsider would pet him
As an owner of 3 boxers, can confirm.
Although, I have to add that my American boxers were more approachable & cuddly, my German boxer is much less so. They're all barkers at home, but my German (Axel) is less comfortable with strangers, but LOVES other dogs. I could see him in a "protection" job if he had the right training. The other two? 😂😂 They're just big doofs & love everyone.
Also, boxers have 2 settings: on & off. When they play, they play HARD. Love to wrestle and rough house. But my boys *love* their naps. They can be happy being lazy with their human, but they get bored easily (especially since they're usually smart af) and can be super destructive if they're not stimulated enough.
But boy I tell ya... I'll never own a different breed. They're amazing and I love how much personality they have. And LOOK AT HER STUPID FACE!! I just wanna give her hugs and kisses all over that adorable mug! 😍😍😍
Definitely an understatement. Very Very stubborn; but at the end of the day, you can’t help but to luv’em!
They are the greatest dog By far!
They are magical!
I had a boxer since he was weaned from his mother and he never was aggressive towards anyone, never ran off down the street, he was the sweetest, goofiest dog ever. Unfortunately we lost him last month due to cardiomyopathy at 8 yrs. old.
My boxer is amazing! I got her as a Christmas present, then 5 years later she saved me. She is now my service dog. She loves working and loves keeping me safe.
I have a boxer and these dogs are one of the nicest dogs ever and it is a good family dog
Best. Dogs. Ever. I’m currently with my 14th boxer dog.
Boxers are awesome. I just got my 3rd boxer. I bought the puppy from a family that wanted a boxer, but had never had experience with this breed. He was too high energy for them. They had bought the puppy from a woman who wasn't feeding him properly. I would like to emphasize how important it is to research a breed prior to choosing one. Despite my research of 2 years prior to getting my 1st boxer, I still learned a lot about the breed after buying her. Boxers are not for everyone.
Thank you so very much Liam Murphy for bringing up the potential aggressiveness. I had learned that 1 out of 4 boxers are aggressive. I think your statistics are more accurate provided they are trained properly.
They were bred as Schutzhunden (protector dogs) in the same group as German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Doberman Pinschers. I learned the most from my 1st dog's Schutzhund trainer who helped only with basic training of heeling, etc.
They can make great service animals for the right person because they are intelligent and highly sensitive to the owner's needs. My 1st boxer was a service animal.
And thank you also, Liam for stressing how important it is to start training early with a concentrated effort. They are unusually strong for their size.
Because they are high energy, they tend to lose weight easily when young.
Because boxers are prone to cancer, my boxers have had more vet visits to check on growths and lumps. And many vet visits for eye infections and scratched corneas which is more common in brachycephalic dogs.
I recommend selecting a breeder who does genetic testing for Subaortic Stenosis and Degenerative Myelopathy, two common boxer ailments.
Bottom line. Boxers are high maintenance. I have seen too many boxers or boxer mixes in shelters and rescues because the boxer was not properly trained or too high energy.
I was collecting info about boxers for a while, and really want to get one in near future.. I have garden and i like outdoor activities like fishing etc, so dog would get plenty to do.. I am just worried about one thing- leaving boxer at what you call dog hotel when away for holidays.. because I live in diferent country I am not able to leave it for parents, brother etc.. from my experience in owning dachshund for 15 years I wasnt able to leave her away for a day, I mean away from all familly.. After we left her once at my granny, I got a call next day that she didnt eat at all just sitting at the door and had to go and take her back.. wonderring how boxer would react to that? maybe kennel would be diferent as they got more dogs in, plenty toys and activities for the dogs.. Anyone experienced leaving your dog for a week? thanks in advance😀
Takes a special person to own boxer or should that be it takes a special person to be owned by a boxer, love my boxer girl unconditionally
Our experience of getting boxer puppies in England 🇬🇧 Always see the Boxer puppy with it's mum and litter of siblings.
Don't get a boxer where the mum growls/is aggressive towards you.
Go for a boxer with a gentle mum instead. That reflected in our Boxers temperament.
Avoid puppy farms can be harder if it's less obvious.
For example: a quick set up in a laundry room of a house. Not with proper bedding, water, food, toys, warmth, snappy mother boxer dog. Go with your gut feeling on this.
Wish you well. We called our gentle, goofy, family boxer: Bella. Had her for ten years. She died of cancer complications. We do still miss her.
Wish you well with your Boxer dog adventures. They are a fantastic breed.
well said Kate
Love my boxer. Had them all my life. Best dog breed.
Boxer: "Oh hey. What's that over there!?" *Walks
I've had a Boxer for 14 years. Not 1 time we went to the vet.
Never ever has he shown any aggression. He never barked his head off just when he needed to.
Energy level very high indeed. But can be very quiet, sleepy and cuddly too. A bit stubborn indeed, but yes from puppy days, consistent, and then no problem.
They are funny, sweet, goofy, loving and great company dogs.
I've had many other dogs as I rescue dogs, but for me the Boxer was the easiest. I also rescued a boxer. He was good as gold as well.
The breed is fab!
I love how all of these comments basically describe my boxer mix perfectly! Boxers really are amazing dogs! 😍😍😍
I have 5 grand boxers! Love them!
Never aggressive - easily trained-
Amusing
I was 3 nearly 4 when we got a boxerdog and he was so soft natured and all he wanted was attention, he was the perfect first pet to grow up to. He was never aggressive he only ever growled near the end of his life when he was in pain other than that he was a great dog
Best flat out explanation of a boxer for first timers!
They are a super smart breed. Keep training sessions short. Boxers love people and have Peter Pan syndrome (they never grow up). Best breed ever.
I've had a albine boxer for 14 years. Cancer was his cause of death, however, the disease was a come and go reality for him, mostly naturally, with no need for any aggressive treatment, except for the last one, when he was 14 years old. He was the sweetest dog ever, and so freaking beautiful. Not dummy at all, I would say he was actually quite intelligent.
Our boxer has an amazing personality and loves kids, I have a cousin and he’s scared of every dog except my boxer. Although he’s very protective but would never attack or hurt anything unless it hurt me or my siblings which is amazing for a family dog as we feel safer when we have them home with us 😊
Thank you this video is very helpful I just got a boxer it's the first one ,I love him very much.
I had a boxer named Taco. He was the best. He was best in show before he came to us. When I broke my leg, he picked up on it right away before anyone else did. He also saved my brother from being stung by wasps. We use to play monster with him. Where we hide under the blankets and my Dad use to hit the blanket. He would playfully start attacking the blanket. He was gentle when he attacked the blanket. He was an American boxer. he was a big boy. Also fun fact about boxer they also went after bulls too.
We have a 12 year old boxer that has been fabulous! Fun loving and so sweet! She wants to be an eighty pound lap dog. We feel so fortunate to have had very little health issues. We love our Daisy!
Best breed ever, love them to pieces!
Amazing dogs, had two growing up, not for people who need personal space. Love how they drape their heads off everything when they sleep. lol Such characters.
Adopted my first boxer puppy a year and half ago, my boxer girl is the sweetest, most loveable dog ever, she has a very goofy and silly personality 😂 a ton of energy she runs everyday with me and she still has energy to burn 😍
On the health issue stats, make sure your breeder does heart testing, kidney testing and hip testing.
Boxers, being deep chested dogs, tend to be prone to cardiac related issues.
They also become very bonded to their families. I've had boxers since I was a child, mostly mom and pup pairs and finally as an adult have my own special girl, Wicket.
Boxers are special and lot of what you say is true however the activity levels of most boxers tend to taper off as they age. They have the longest puppyhood, slowing down around 4 years old. In my perso al experience with now 5 different boxers over my life, their energy comes in waves, spurts so to speak.
They are sensitive dogs, who read you emotions and react accordingly. My favorite breed by far and will never own anything else.
I had two boxer girls a tiger brindle and a flashy red they didn't calm down until they got to ten years old, sadly lost them both just before they hit thirteen, still miss them both terribly but now have a beautiful white boxer girl with one brown ear and she is as mad as a box of frogs but I love her to bits
I have a boxer and I’ve heard him bark maybe only 20 times in 6 years. Amazing family dog.
Spitting image of our boxer of a few decades ago. Wonderful dogs, great assessment of pros and cons, thank you!
My dad is 93. My mom died May 17 2021. They had been married 71 years. So on the 5th of August my dad had our 7 1/2 year old 110lb Fawn & White male AKC Boxer outside next to the driveway on a leash. He told me he was sitting there thinking about my mom when a UPS driver stopped and came running up the driveway when Chesty started barking and jumped at the driver. My dad stood up and kept the dog under control and the UPS drive tossed the package in the driveway. As my dad turned around to walk back to his chair a man came walking down the Public Sidewalk and Chesty started barking and pulled my dad and my dad fell keeping control of Chesty the whole time, but when he fell he broke his hip. So the surgeon operated and replace his old hip. He was gone 21 days from home in the hospital and rehabilitation. He was looking forward to coming home especially because he missed his dog. He loved that dog like a child. The night before he came home Chesty was acting kind of lethargic. When my dad came home Chesty didn't seem to excited to see him. He came over to my dad and laid down by his feet. Then my dad said Chesty is trying to stand up and he can't. So I went over there and he started stiffing up his legs and all of the sudden he died. It was horrible. I saw my mom die and then this dog. But the good news is we have a puppy that will be 8 weeks old coming Friday. He is a little male Brindle. AKC. This will make the fifth male boxer I've owned. I had a female that lived 13 years and one male that lived 9 years but the other three died in the 7th year of their life. Once you've owned a boxer you're hooked on them. The only bad thing is they don't live to long. By the way he had just had his three year Rabbis shot and exam on month before this.
I’ve had two boxers in my life and they’re amazing!
I love this breed I had 2 in my life .and yes they have selected hearing but very loving dog .my passed away with heart issues he was only 8 years old it's being only 6 months and I miss him dearly. His name was Suez and yes they are bit goofy. Miss both my friends Rocky passed he was 13 and that was about 25 years ago.loved those doggies and miss them both DEARLY.
On my 5th boxer. There are 2 types of people in this world.. dog people, and boxer people.. best breed ever
I was thinking about getting a boxer until a American Bulldog adopted me. Boxers are awesome with young kids.
I had a Johnson Am bulldog she was so awesome. Super protective loved that girl
Got my boxer at a shelter. She is the sweetest smartest little thing. Super playful too.
I LOVE my Boxer puppy. I'm retired and am having so much fun with her. I love her energy, personality and her selective hearing. :) Even though the average life span is 8-10 years, and there are the inherent health problems, I would make the same choice. She's made me so happy and I hope to help her know she is loved for as long as I have her.
I have a 11 year old female boxer and she’s still very healthy. She’s about 23” and weighs 58 lbs. I’ve had no discipline issue at all. She will wander off occasionally while I’m working in yard, though not far. But never had her bolt down the street. Never really had her destroy furniture or chew up shoes. She always has had a toy like a Kong and her favorite plastic bottles to work over. However stuffed animals don’t last more than a week. I can’t imagine life without her, she goes everywhere with me. When she passes I’m up for another.
I want to pet that dog. He looks like a good pupper
I have been a boxer mom for years now and the best quality they have is that they’re GREAT with kids and are extremely patient! We travel a lot and we take our three boxers everywhere. At age 4-5 they become couch potatoes. I have such an easy time training them but then again I work with animals for a living.
Beautiful boxer love him !
I have one and they're literally so freakin adorable :)
I have a pure white boxer and she is just the best dog in the whole world. My best friend. ❤️
I have a German Boxer and he is large! Now I admit I do over feed him, he weighs 104lbs but he is the most loyal and best behavior dog ever. He is goofy but I love him so much! I have 3 other friends that have them and they are the same
I love the Boston accent so gorgeous
😂 ah yes because “Hey MAH WHERE AH MAH CAHKEYS” is incredibly gorgeous lmao. (Im from ma, Im just poking fun)
European are bigger then American bread. Couple things misinformed. That is what my boxer looks like. Everything else seems spot on! Only mine isn't flighty thank God lol
The German, the British, and the American boxers have different looks, German more mastiff like, American more athletic, and Britain's somewhere's in the middle.
My 8 year old boxer is extremely obedient and is not flighty in the least. He also has never been hyperactive and actually prefers napping all day. There are exceptions to every rule but I'm hoping our next boxer will be just as good a boy as this one.
My boxer is American 100lbs. Very fit. I believe his father was a bit bigger then he is now at 6 years old.
just got a deaf white boxer puppy. It's going to be a learning experience!
Boxers are amazing. Love them so much.
We have had five boxers ( current one is 18 months old). They are the most amazing breed. All five have been amazing in temperament, even the rescues. Yes, the can be a tad stubborn and do require steady solid training through out their life. However, their fun loving nature and enthusiasm make up for that. They are the Peter Pan of the dog world.
My 1.2 year old German Boxer “CASH”looks identical to YOUR BOXER! You my friend are right on point with all the characteristics of Boxers, this is my 4th one and all that I have had all pretty close to the same. Great Job! 😎👍🏼
Anyone know what is the average lifespan of a male Boxer? About 10-12 years?
I was going to write a lengthy goodbye to my boy who passed away yesterday in suspicious circumstances at the vets but its very lengthy indeed and will probably not be welcome by everyone.. RIP Merlin.. You were the best part of my life.. Hope to see you soon buddy..
He's like "You talking about me" : )
My boxer is 105lbs. He is very muscular his dad was huge and his mom of normal size. He is my best friend and an incredible family dog!
My first dog was a boxer and all that have followed. They all, unfortunately, had health issues starting at about age seven? (which of course is heartbreaking.) However, they are so incredible, it is worth doing all you can with diet, etc. to keep them healthy. They are smart, sweet and have very funny personalities; they know it, too! Love Boxers!
Thnx so much that was a great video we just bought a boxer puppy she is 3 months old and she is the best!! Thx for the vid and keep up the good work!
Love Love Love the Boxer !! Good review, I agree these are high energy family dogs that will cuddle and love you and will certainly protect you. I have a female half euro half American and a male rescue who is half Boxer part Shepard and part pit. Over the years I have loved and lost 6 to cancer, all after the age of ten.
Love ❤️ boxers, so-o-o much!!!
They are sweethearts and borne for love!!! 💖🌸💖🌸💖🌸💖
I’ve had two dogs within my life, one half breed and one pure. We adopted both. My pure bred (lexy) is not aggressive, she is protective over us by barking but she quiets down pretty fast. I love her so much, she is gentle and loyal and so funny. She needs so much attention, we play frisbee a lot with her, she helps me practice for Ultimate Frisbee. She has had a bladder problem (probably from old age). She’s extremely stubborn, selective hearing is her thing. She’s also so smart, it makes her dumb😂😂.
Everyone should own a boxer! I have a one year old and she’s is the sweetest. She’s very attached to the family but they do like to cuddle too much 😂 she tells on my kids when they’re bothering her. She is active but it’s not overwhelming. Perfect to be around kids and having moderate exercise.
Boxers are awesome! The only aggression I ever saw in my female was when my 3yo daughter and I were yelled at by a door to door salesman and when my parents dog barked at her and tried to bite her. Zena laid the "don't touch my girl" law down on him . She protected my daughter like she was her puppy!
My friends used to always be scared to come to my yard because my dog did the same thing unless she saw me hanging out with them 😂
I have a 3 year old white Boxer and she is so loving and gentle, I trust her around kids way more than my Shih Tzu. One thing I will say though is she is very skepticle of strangers or dogs who send out mixed signals. She is very protective and she does bark a lot if she hears noises in the backyard etc. I sort of understand the aggression rating because although she has never attacked anything, I do know she would probably do so in a tough scenario. Boxers are amazing dogs, a good balance of love and protectiveness. Mine is very smart and well trained, I can walk her off leash but I had to be SO firm with her when she was young. If you can get past the first year successfully then Boxers are very rewarding.
Our Boxer Cara ("she who gives love" in Latin) was the sweetest and most honest creature that I have ever known. She was smart and very empathic too, being able to "read" our feelings. She had her own will and could pout if not getting what she wanted.
She had a pedigree and came from a line of (European) champions, but with us she was just another member of the family. She was never alone and she had a good life with us.
Born in 2004, we had her pass away in 2017. She is still dearly missed.
My boxer is 2 years old, he turns 3 on September 2nd. He is SOOO stubborn sometimes, he is really active once he gets outside, I trained him everything essential, I'm still training him. He barks his square head off when he sees anyone or anything pass the window when my brother and I are home alone, if I open that front door he just might go full on guard dog mode. But I love him, he's a sweet boy who will never grow out of that hyper puppy state😂😂
We have had boxers in our family for thirty years when my son who is now 18 was born we had three boxers in our home ....they are high high energy, ..loving, affectionate, funny, loyal, and daft as a brush, never had a wicked one, some of the males didn’t like other males other then that great with other dogs ...and yes lumps lumps lumps ..cancer had been an issue with some of ours ...... we had one who lived 13 years others 10/11.....we lost one to cancer at 7 ...boxers love love love their people ! they DO NOT do well being left alone ....when we had our first one we left her alone to work ....and come home to a shredded Sofa like it had been snowing in my living room ....and destroyed kitchen table and chairs the destruction stop when we get another dog. ....they are wonderful dogs like Liam said Training key ....and don’t get one if you work all day and the dog is home alone ...not fair !
The featuted boxer is very cute!
A fellow boxer dog owner once told me, "Boxers never lose their fizz." So true!
We are looking to adopt a Boxer We were thinking of getting a 3 to 7 yr old Both my husband are in our 70's so a puppy is outa the question It has been nearly 2 mo since our Molly died. The Boxer completes us !!Also all 3 of our children were raised with Boxers .
Boxers are The Best!! I’ve had one most of my life and none were huge boxers!!! So goofy and fun loving!! Boxers just want to have fun with you!! 🙀
None were huge barkers!!
Unwanted barking can be control with a squirt bottle. It also kept my dogs from coming into garage when I came home.
