Our neighbor across us has two beautiful boxers.  Those two boxers are from the same litter, both brother and sister.  DB told me he won’t get boxers but they do look very lean and muscular dogs.

Having another puppy right now is not the right time for us.  If I want another puppy I might check out Boxer puppies.  Boxers are great dogs, and are wonderful guard dogs, too.  Some might say Boxer dogs look very mean, but they are actually are a sweet bunch of sweeties if well socialized initially during puppy stage.  Boxers have a very short coat of hair.  I like that kind of coat, not much of maintenance like bathing them.  All you need to do is to give your Boxers a good brushing every week to clean them.  They do not need a lot of baths because they are like cats, they sort of do their own grooming.  Moreover,  this type of breed do not shed a lot.

Like any other puppies, training your Boxer puppies obedience is very vital and should be consistent.  Boxers are know to jump so training them not to jump from puppyhood helps when they grow to adulthood.  They are very active and need a lot of exercise.   Dave, the Boxers’ owner exercise them by letting them run along the yard when he mows the yard in the summer.  In the winter, I don’t see the dogs out much but what he once told us, he and his kids will throw tennis balls up and down the stairs so they could tired out.  If they don’t get enough exercise, same with other dogs, they will help tear the house down for you. 

The two Boxers have a very playful personalty and well behaved.  Caring for the Boxer puppies is the same as caring for all other puppies.  Patience and consistency are the keys to successful training them.  Initially they will at a lost when they set paws in your home, but once they get their surroundings checked, they will start looking towards you for everything from food, play/walk, bathroom, and attention. Boxers are from working  breeds, they are bred for guarding and many owners do train them for obedience competition, or are trained as guard dogs in the police force.
