Boxers, although low-maintenance, require your consistent attention, exercise, human interaction, consistent obedience training and lots of love. You should not leave them to their own devices for too long or they get lonely, bored and into trouble.

Being a big and strong dog as well as a highly intelligent one, Boxers require both physical and mental stimulations to keep them even-tempered and dignified whilst still keeping their impish spirit and fearless courage in tact.

Their high prey drive (some owners called it play drive) needs proper outlets or they could become destructive as house pets, and tend to fight among themselves especially if the other family Boxers are of the same sex. The female, it seems, is more aggressive than the male.

Keeping Boxers busy is the best way to keep them out of trouble! Tire them out with long walks, 3 times per day. Give them lots of exercise, play with them, especially the inquisitive puppies or they might tear up your home out of boredom, pent up energy and frustration.

For all your love and caring, be prepared for wet slobbery drool and kisses and love in return.

Here’s what some proud owners say about their pet Boxers:
* “Having a Boxer is like having another human in a dog body with you. You can talk to Boxers and they would understand. They demonstrate feelings just like human does. If they are loved, they will love and protect you.”

* “Boxers are the most loyal companions. My Boxers bring me up when I am down. They are the canine clowns of the dog world. They are the only dogs for me.”

* “They are a gift! The two I have are always smiling and they cheer me up when I’m not too happy. They can be your friends for life!”

* “My Boxer can take up my moods or lay quietly by my feet for hours.”

* “Boxers are so intuitive, so easily bored and heartbroken. They are the definition of devotion and courage.”

Of course a boxer puppy, like any other dog breed has to be house trained the right way. Find Out more
