Let's talk Boxers
Known for their playful and friendly nature, Boxers are full of bouncy exuberance. A little boisterous at times, they have an abundance of energy and a great zest for life. With early training, Boxers also make loyal and devoted companions, and develop a deep attachment to their human families. Really deep. In fact, they like nothing better than being right by your side—and will even fall asleep on your knee, if you let them.

About the Boxer
Boxers are fearless, self-assured, calm and well-balanced. Although they pose no threat to their family, they are often suspicious of strangers and know no fear when riled.
Boxers are obedient, making them easy to train. Undemanding, clean and loyal, they are just as suited to the role of family and companion dog as that of defense and utility dog.
