I have a 17 month old flashy fawn boy. He brings a smile to my face a hundred times a day. Every morning we join our friends for an hour of off leash running and playing. At night we spend an hour on leash in the park or walking in the neighborhood. Yes, he does require a good deal of exercise,but my family is rewarded with a fairly well behaved dog. He has the spirit of a child in a dog's body. I absolutely love the breed and wish I had not waited so long to get one.

Boxers are great big lap dogs. Highly entertaining clowns who bore easily. Their feelings are easily hurt. They look for jobs to do. Make sure it is one you want done. At one time the only dog recommended for small children, they were the first Seeing Eye dogs. You will get hooked if you ever have a boxer. My first Boxer came home when I was 6 months old-- 55 years ago. Today I have 3 and have been volunteering for boxer Rescue LA for 19 years. Leash training is a must as they distract easily and will pull you over to investigate that fallen leaf.

Excellent, and described my Boxer perfectly! I find Boxers to be one of the best-natured dogs, finding everyone his friend. His protective nature does come out occasionally,but at appropriate moments. I never thought I would have wanted a dog of this size, but I have fallen in love with the breed!
