Boxer



  



Boxer dogs have compact and powerful bodies with shiny coats that fit close to their skin. They come in a variety colors including brindle, fawn, and various shades of red. Some also have white markings. Most show dogs have docked tails. Docking is a procedure where part of the tail has been surgically removed shortly after birth. They have strong necks, squared bodies, straight front legs, and dark eyes. Their lower jaws curve upward and extend over their upper jaws. The average male Boxer is 22-24 inches tall (56-61 km) and weighs about 60-70 pounds (27-32 kg). Female dogs are usually 21-23 inches (53-58 cm) tall and weigh about 55-65 pounds (25-29 kg).

Happy, high-spirited, intelligent, energetic, curious, loyal, and affectionate are all terms that describe the temperament of Boxers. They are very reliable and protective around children. They are very loving toward children and like to play as well. Boxers are easily trained and are often eager to learn. Known friends or guests may get an exuberant greeting while intruders may be restrained in the same manner that a Bulldog might use. These lively dogs have a tendency to jump up at people and this trait should be controlled at an early age. Training should start early with these dogs and the owner must be dominant over the dog. Boxers have often been used in military and police work.

Boxers have shorthaired coats that are very smooth and easy to groom. It is recommended to brush them weekly with a firm bristled brush and to only bathe them when it becomes necessary. Boxers are very clean dogs that groom themselves in a similar manner that cats use. These dogs require vigorous activity and exercise on a regular basis in order to keep them fit. Walking, running, and playing are all good ways of giving these dogs the daily workout they need. Be aware that Boxers have a tendency to become very aggressive at times when they encounter other dogs. It is advisable to use a leash when walking them in public areas.
