Boxers are the type of dog that looks mean and their name suggests a dog with a bad nature. A boxer is actually a very sweet, people loving dog. They are great for families with children or other pets.
Boxers need a fair amount of attention. If left alone for long periods of time, bad behavior can result. Although they look all loving, a boxer can also be a good guard dog. Since they are such people lovers, if they are not trained properly, they will most likely welcome an intruder into your house with licks instead of growls. Their loving personality makes them great around children and other animals. They are usually only good around other animals if they have been raised around them.
They are really easy to take care of because they have a short haired coat. They also enjoy learning, so training should be a breeze. Since they get bored easily, it is best to exercise them regularly or keep them outside if you need to go somewhere.
Boxers are the perfect dog for any kind of family. The boxer adapts well to any personality or place. They do not do well with boredom, loneliness, or harsh treatment.
