Please do more on that Boxer! Who knew that they were so willing and smart? Finally, something that shows why they are working dogs. Real working dogs. I know herding, and that was beautiful starting work, not something I have ever seen a non-collie do so well. If other Boxers can do that...and I just looked it up on you tube, there ARE other boxers doing this, it is going to shake up the herding world. No non collie moves that well and fast, so this really is BIG news. More please!
