      Description

      Until you look into those soulful, trusting, friendly eyes reflecting a deep joy of living mixed with mischief, boxers can appear very imposing; muscular, large and square-headed. Due to this playful personality coupled with limitless energy, these dogs are, at times, known as the Peter Pan of all dog breeds. Their infancy and adolescence stretches out until their recognized maturity around three years of age, giving them one of the lengthiest times of puppyhood among all dog breeds.

      Typically, the boxer is known for his or her intelligence, alertness and fearlessness, along with great-hearted friendliness. He’s completely loyal to his family, and loves to play with them, though he can be very headstrong. This headstrong trait is evident especially if harsh training methods are used. He’ll make a great companion, needs very little grooming and possesses limitless patience and gentleness with children. This breed will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. This will promote and maintain a healthy physical and mental well-being. The Boxer can even adapt to living in an apartment as long as you are able and willing to make sure he has plenty of exercise through regular walks and runs. The Boxer can be flexible as long as he’s able to be close to the people he loves.

      Originating in Germany, these dogs first immigrated to the United States at the end of World War I. They have short, gleaming coats that are striking, usually fawn or brindle with gleaming white markings. Complete or mostly white Boxers may become deaf.

      The Boxer’s ears hang down, though many have cropped ears, along with docked tails. These days, however, many owners choose to leave their Boxer’s ears uncropped.

      These great dogs are famous for the depth of love and loyalty they have for their families, often initially distrusting strangers. They usually won’t become aggressive unless they sense a threat to their family. Your Boxer may even mistake herself as a lapdog as she attempts to lie as close to you as she possibly can.

      You may also enjoy your dog’s clownish behavior. The Boxer breed is very energetic, generally happy and high-spirited. Boxers are known to paw like a cat at his or her food bowl, and other items, even you! When excited, your Boxer will do a little dance known as kidney bean where he twists his body into a semi-circle much like the shape of a kidney bean then proceeds to turn in circles. Boxers are also known for making a unique woo-woo sound when excited or if they want something. Not exactly a bark, it sounds exactly like he’s saying woo-woo, calling for you to look at him.

      You’ll be delighted to watch your Boxer run, so happy, exuberant and graceful that you can’t keep from smiling, especially if he begins to jump – something all Boxers love to do – twisting to and fro and even turning somersaults just to show off for you.

      Of course, life isn’t all fun and games for these dogs. Due to their great courage and strength, Boxers often contribute to police and military work, sometimes
