    What you forgot is the boxers tendency to develop cancer. Over 40% of boxer deaths are due to cancer. Our Wendy, only five yrs old has been diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma, the most common cancer in boxers, rare in most dog breeds ( golden retrievers, and Bassett hounds also have high cancer rates) and the vet has given her about a month. She is a typical crazy boxer with more personality than most. She will be greatly missed, especially by our other boxer.
