    Love love love our boxers!!!!!! We have 5 in our family and wouldn’t trade them for the world. They are our best friends and they love our grandson. Not a better babysitter and no one can come near them if they aren’t familiar.

    Wow..love seeing pics & reading all your comments. Our boxer boy Diego will be 8 in Oct & he definitely has most of these traits although he never was that energetic. He’s great with my granddaughters, protective even from my son and takes great care of me. Because of him I try to get out for a walk daily & I can’t imagine how life will be without him.
