Boxers can be fine family dogs if you can provide enough exercise and training to control their rambunctiousness when young, and if you can provide for their special needs due to their unnaturally short face.
As puppies and young adults, Boxers are animated, playful (often cuckoo!) dogs who love to romp and jump.
Middle-aged Boxers typically become more deliberate and dignified and make calm, loyal companions for the rest of their (unfortunately not very long) lives.
Though most Boxer dogs are fine with other family pets, including the family cat, quite a few Boxers are dominant or aggressive toward other dogs of the same sex, and some are cat chasers.
If you are considering to own a boxer, or you’ve just become a new boxer owner, there are some realities you do need to fully accept.
Check out the twelve realities new boxer owners must accept on the next page! …and if you already are a boxer owner, see if you can relate!

I had to put mine down last Thursday due to tick diseases and autoimmune problems. She was only 5. She was my best friend…so lonely without her. I know in my heart she will send another furry friend my way, when it’s time. Too much love to give not to have another. I feel your pain and pray you have comfort.

Boxers owner qs. How many of you leave your dog(s) while working for how long and how many days do you work in a week. Just wanted to know because I know some boxers can’t be tolerate to be left alone. I definitely would love to adopt another!
