Boxers are large, muscular, square-headed dogs who look imposing — that is, until you look into their eyes and see the mischief and joy of life reflected there.

Because of their playful nature and boundless energy, they are sometimes called the “Peter Pan” of the dog breeds.

Boxer are typically known to be intelligent, alert, and fearless, yet friendly. He's loyal to his family and loves to play with them, but he's also headstrong, especially if you try to use harsh training methods with him.

    My heart goes out to you, Loseing a Boxer is like loseing a Family Member. We lost our Male Last July, even though I have a new Baby and a 8 yr, old, I still shed tears over the Boxers I have lost

    You’re right Mary Logan. Losing a Boxer, or any of my fur babies, is losing a family member. Mega esophagus is a bit%# and I hate seeing her like this. Along with mega esophagus she had an enlarged heart and spleen as well as an obstruction of the soft pallet and laryngeal paralysis. The meds are keeping her comfortable but she’s losing weight each day.

    We lost our Boxer, Bo a year ago to mouth cancer…I miss him everyday. I’m so sorry about your baby, I’m sure she knows how much you love her. Just know when she crosses that rainbow bridge Bo Bo will be waiting for her, and they can run and play together healthy and pain free ❤️

    Yea. Had to start crating him. Everytime we left we would return home to find the house ripped apart. But he loves his crate now. He even sleeps in it at night with the door open
