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

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
