My husband and I got a female brindle boxer before we got married. She is truly a great dog. My father had two boxers and they were wonderful too- that is why we got Sasha. The puppy stage was kind of chaotic- she was very curious and chewed a lot of things she wasn't suppose to, but that all stopped at about 9 months. She has always been active and she has always loved kids, cats, and other dogs. We had her spayed at six months of age. My husband works night now and I am so grateful to have her as a companion because she looks tough (she is very lean and muscular), is protective, but is so sweet. I wouldn't trade her for anything, in fact my husband and I are looking to get another boxer. These are just great family dogs.

Pros: Compassionate, Loves everyone, Looks tough, protective

Cons: Various potential health problems

I love the Boxer breed. They are playful and full of energy. They are very smart dogs and can be trained. Owner needs to be be dominate.

Pros: Loving, Energetic, Playful, easily trained

Cons: Gas-smelly

I just got a Boxer sevin months ago and would never take another dog. Rocky is the best dog anyone could ask for and I highly recomend this breed to anyone searching for a great family pet.

Pros: Loving, Gentle, Great with Kids

Cons: Gas

we love are 21/2 year old female boxer, maddie.she is the most loving dog ever so easy going great with kids and are one year old west highland terrier who is her best friend,wouldn`t change her for the world. also great to dress her up she will let you get away with anything.

Pros: loving, playfull,devoted,bloody gorgeous.

Cons: smelly bottom

We have a 13 week old red male boxer puppy. He has been a wonderful addition to our little family and fills our lives with joy everyday. He's great with kids and loves the beach, what more could we have asked for!!

Pros: devoted, playful, energetic, sociable and loyal

Cons:

I've always loved the boxer breed and currently have a white female boxer. We were very lucky that she has no health problems and is very loving and loyal. A little under two weeks ago we lost our 9/12 year old male boxer X kelpie Flynn. Although he wasn't a pure bred he certainly held most of the boxer traits in looks and energy. Most of all he was the most loyal dog i have ever owened. My boyfriend, parents and I were all hit when he died suddenly and it's like we've lost a family member. I just want to say that although there are many great breeds out there Boxers will forever hold a place in my heart, and for anyone who's looking they will make a great addition to your family. RIP Flynn xxoo

Pros: wonderful loving breed, extremley loyal.

Cons: sometimes a little too much energy ;P

I have had 4 boxers in the course of my life, and I have never wanted to try any other breed. I have had boxers from breeders and from rescues, and they have all been awesome dogs. All have been easily housebroken, have been super loyal and trainable. They are great family dogs, all of mine are super with kids. As roudy as they can be sometimes, they are very sensitive with kids, and seem to instinctively know how gentle they need to be with the young ones, and display a sense of awareness on the level of play with each child individually. All of my kids can be playing with my dogs at the same time, and they will "box" much gentler with my smallest than they will my biggest. These dogs are great guard dogs, in the sense that they have wonderful instincts on a strangers intentions. Some people they greet very friendly, others they can be very cautious with. You do not need to train these dogs in protection, it is a great instinct they have. All of mine have stepped up at one time or another against someone who intended my family or property harm, and subdued the individual without going overboard. One caution I do offer is do not discipline your children in front of your boxer, they will take the childs side over the adults every time! AWESOME DOGS, would recommend to everyone except maybe those who do not have the time or energy to exercise them. If you do not "wear them down" every day, they'll find something to do on their own!

Pros:

Cons:

I Have A 1 year old female boxer she is the best thing in the whole world that ever happening to me she is so kind and loveable i recently had a sad time in my life my dog used to cry with me as i Cried she Is So Quiet , Is Very Nervous Dog Dough But Never Lets Anyone into the house unless i'm in the same room I Would Recomend These Dogs To Anyone looking for a companion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros: Loyal Dog

Cons: Stupid Sometimes Ha

I am a stay at home Mom of three children. 7 months, 2 and 4 yrs old. I grew up with boxers and have always adored them. Our family has a 7 month old female boxer. She is the best dog we've ever owned. She loves our children and has shown herself to be very protective of them. She even seems to be on high alert when my husband isn't home. She lays on the floor and allows the kids to climb all over her. She is truly a very special girl, and in my experience a very typical boxer.

Pros: If you're up for the challenge, they're an amazing breed. Excellent family pet and gaurdian.

Cons: They think that they're lap dogs! LOL

My boxer (Toston) passed away just two months ago. I never had a better more loving family member. He used to live with my mother and loved and protected her during all his life. Never unloyal, never false, never unwilling. Allways in synch with me, allways loving, allways protective, allways playfull. I you're looking for a family dog, a guardian, a play and soul mate, a family member there will be no better option.

Pros: Loving, Loyal, Protective, Best Family Member

Cons: Lifespan is too litle it should be 100 years

We have 2 male Boxers in our home (Cooper and Blitz). Both are great with our 4 children (4, 2, and 2 newborns). They are absolutely hilarious, having facial expressions like a human and are always clowning around trying to get your attentiong. They are instinctively gentler and less rowdy when around the kids too. They are very sensitive to the raising of your voice, and therefore, no physical reprimand is needed when they start acting a little too wreckless during play time. I have never had either of them 'potty' in the house, unless they were left at home for a good lenth of time, and even in that case it was right in front of the back door where we let them out. This is surprising considering that they are both males and neither are nuetered. We love this breed and will never consider another. They are truly members of the family, and not viewed as just a family pet. Highly recommended to all dog lovers.

Pros: Loyal, virtually barkless, easy to house train

Cons: Even in adulthood, try to be lap dogs and sleep with you. If left alone, they tend to get destructive while an adolescent

Boxers are the best dogs ever. Not only are they great companions, but they are great family dogs. They are great with kids which is plus for most families. Because they are so energetic and require lots of exercise and attention, I recommend them to those who are willing to exercise them. I have to female boxers and they are best dogs ever, I would not trade them for any other dog.

Pros: Loyal, Good Looking, Energetic, Great with People, Great with Children.

Cons: Sometimes they get too hyper!

I have to say I love my boxer! I have never owned a boxer until I got her.Now I wouldn't trade her for the world she is just like my child.Almost like a two year old everything goes in her mouth.It's so funny though It's like one day she is this tiny puppy and the next day she is a BIG baby she has grown up so fast.She loves to sleep on her back paws in the air. If one one minute she thinks I'm leaving she is waiting at the car door ready to go.She LOVES my 11 year old and follows her everywhere and can find her anywhere we play hide and seek with her outside and she finds my daughter everytime she puts her nose to the ground and it's all over but it's fun to watch.Logan loves water you can get the waterhose and she is your best friend.We will play with her in the floor and she plays rough with me but will only lick my daughter. I couldn't ask for a better dog she so smart and learns fast.She knows my soft spots and when she beggs it melts my heart she will lay her chin in my hand or on my leg when she wants something and her lips just spead out.Well I could go on and on so I'll say this Boxers are GREAT and need lots of love and attention but also reward you with there love and affection that melts your heart and that to me is priceless

Pros: My boxer is,very loving, playful, protective,energetic and great with kids

Cons: A very smooth theif (SNEAKY)

We will always have Boxers in the family. My husband grew up with them, and we got Truman, a flashy fawn, when we were newlyweds. He was honestly the best dog I have ever had. He was an absolute card with the greatest personality. He was so great with the kids-very playful, very protective and also very patient. He was ridden like a horse, a participant in "shows" and dressed up in tutus. Even when he was suffering from bone cancer, he let my youngest lay on him in his bed. He got along well with a dalmation that we rescued and was treated like a rockstar by us, the vet, strangers...a damn good dog. It broke my heart to put him down over the summer of 2008. He had aggressive bone cancer, something that you see in larger dogs. My poor husband, who was in Iraq, came the closest he has ever come to crying when he learned that his boy was too sick to stay with us. Truman was stoic even with cancer. He remained on "high alert" until the last few days. We are waiting on the litter of Boxer puppies to arrive (today) and should have a new Boxer baby by Thanksgiving.

Pros: See review.

Cons: The only con would be their propensity for health issues. Because they are such fantastic dogs, a shorter life span is difficult.

I have had my male boxer for 3 1/2 years, he is 4. They have been the funniest 3 years. Boxers are great entertainment. They also are so sweet. When my 78 year old grandmother is around he is the calmest dog you would ever see. When my friends kids are around they are the best of friends, they are the same age. But Max is just a big goofball most of the time. I tell everyone that tells me they are looking for a dog to get a boxer

Pros: Great Dogs

Cons: Not Cat Friendly

we lucked up with our boxer. We rescued her after hurricane Ike. She is a great addition to our family. She gets along great with our 2 other dogs and our 2 sons. She was very unhealthy when we rescued her but I am proud to say she is very healthy now and happy in her new home.

Pros: very good with kids!

Cons: sometimes to playful

I can only say that my first boxer built my caracter as we grew up together, but he past away 3 years ago.Now I decided that me and my wife should finally get a nother one and we are very happy about it. All I can say that boxers are very brave and devoted dogs always ready to protect you from anything even from sadness.In most difficult times they are cold minded and funny,I remember, (since I'm from Serbia) when NATO was bombing us, every night we had air raid sirens but for my Rocky those sirens did not ment bombs, they ment: Hurayyyyyyyy we are going out!!! LOL.So the sirens became a laughing matter for us thanks to him.Now things are very diferent and I hope we will enjoy with our new family member only in peace.

Pros: The best breed ever,very funny.

Cons: Trust me once you get that dog you're gonn'a forget all the cons!

we have 2 boxers. the oldest is 12 yrs old and the other is 4 yrs old. they are the best pets ever. easy to train, and very loving and playful with our children which are 13 and 9 yrs old. i would reccomend them to any one with a family

Pros:

Cons:

i have 3 boxers (1 male and 2 females) and i absolutly love them! they always want to play and be close to me. they wrestle and play soccer constantly! i have a pretty big back yard and they run in circles and it and have races. it's the funniest thing to watch. then in the house they love to lay on my bed in won big pile and drool and snore (although i have to admit the drooling part of it can be pretty bad). i wouldn't trade them for anything in the world!!!!

Pros: they are loving and loyal and very playful!

Cons: they have the worst gas out of any animal i have ever known!!!

My female boxer Punchy is 9 yrs old and she has been the VERY best dog ever! We also have a 13 yr old male Dalamation and their behavior is like night and day! She is good and he is bad! Boxers are great with kids. When my daughter was younger she would hug her (she still does), lay on her and Punchy would do nothing but smother her with big kisses! Very easy to train..I highly recommend a boxer! It's the only breed I will ever have again and again!

Pros: They will always be your best friend!

Cons: NONE!
