My white male boxer passed December 30 I’m heartbroken and I feel bad for already looking for another dog. I think that I’m doing this to fast but I don’t know what do u think
1. They have an uncanny ability to ooze upward into your lap whilst being told no... 2. They can go from Jester to Protector in half a heartbeat. 3. They are Omniscient and Omnipresent. 4. Boxers have The 3 I's : Instinct Intuition Intelligence 5. They will get between you and strangers, or be ever at your side - your lap if you let them - or your furniture if not. 6. If there's trouble, they will stand foursquare against it separating new from the danger or perceived threat . 7. They will bark warning, Advance if a foe does, Escalate if need be and in the exact measure as does the foe. 8. They may try to herd your children; they're Cattle dogs, too. 9. They will stamp out a cigarette tossed near a child or elder. Or an ember that pops out from your fieplace. 10. Boxers will even protect known guests in your home, should someone shout or express anger near them... The list goes on and on ... And the Eleventy-seventh reason is they are what I call a "Chill but Will" dog. They will chill when it's time to chill, and they are willing to do ANYTHING for you, no matter what - unless of course you're mean to them or think striking them is a way to "correct" them. It doesn't; they don't think like we do; they don't know what they did wrong; all they know is the hand that feeds them and loves them is hitting them right now; So they become submissive and people think they act like they're sorry...they don't know what they did, or why something was wrong if it's happened five seconds ago or longer but they want everything to be right again like it was before you had your fit and hit them. That's the way they think .They live in the moment.
I am from a family that has loved boxers for generations, my dad had boxers since he was a kid, his dad loved them too, i had boxers since the day i was born. I can happily say your reasons are wonderful and my own current boxer has already saved my life, she alerted me to a break in and i took care of that which she also stood by my side ready to attack. She's a bit crazy and holy bejeezus back in the day she was a ball of fur and muscles. I'll probably keep having boxers and probably another gentle breeds but I can say that they're AMAZING family dogs and will defend the children when necessary. Just make sure you keep kids away if you have bred your boxers because unless they know the kids well and the dogs are well trained some cases have become a bit too playful for comfort to put it in a certain way. The attitude of your boxer at the end of the day will depend on how you raise them just like any other dog, heck my grandma's boxers are absolute babies even today and they're like 7 years old and will cry if you don't give them love.
Add bread my female boxer twice. I surely wish I had not is there some beautiful boxers in animal shelters I've seen them. And you are right they are extremely intelligent.😊
My boxer "Spike" passed away over the summer... I got him when he was 6 weeks old when I was 8 years old. He was and still is my best friend and I miss him every day dearly. He died due to a tumor we were told by the vet there was nothing we could do besides surgery that would kill him, so we didn't go through with the surgery. My family and I weren't knowing of boxers health conditions before this or ever which I wish we were because he'd still be with me. Thanks to your channel I now know everything there is to know about boxer breeds as a whole, including what to do about their health conditions before it's too late. I'm hoping to get another boxer soon, they're the greatest dog breed in the world, but Spike is so irreplaceable.
Sorry to hear that. My cousin had a bridal boxer named spike, and he passed away years ago. He got remarried and moved on with his life. She where's the pants. She changed him a lot n not in a good way. No longer has a heart or soul. So sad. Still Sorry to hear what happened to your family.
We just put down our fifth boxer who suffered from denerative myelopathy. We have a deposit down on a puppy who will arrive at his forever home mid-August. We just could not see ourselves owning any other breed. They bring is joy, entertainment, companionship, very very smart and trainable. You must exercise your boxer daily or they can become obese.
I found a stray I had to check for chips no advertisements anything so we have been together for some time now he is very protective playful and fun. He's white with long ears which I would never consider having ears dots and tails cropped again I'm sorry I ever did that and there are some beautiful boxers and animal shelters. Yes I've been guilty in the past of buying boxers but I was blessed have found one. He is white brindle spots on him but the main color is white. Beautiful black muzzle big black eyes almost black I was asking my veterinarian what breed he was he said he was a pit bull mix I do not see that whatsoever. Hey love children I mean he absolutely adores children he brings me toys all boxes bring you toys when you get back to the house I think from shopping or picking up groceries. After vacation wherever they are so affectionate and extremely smart. Mine is full of Sass and vinegar and I love IT. Yes he's energetic but what is wrong with that because we need to get out of the house. I'm taking him hiking soon and I'm not worried about anybody bothering me with him. The tale is for balance the ears are for being able to hear far off so don't dock and crap meaning docking the tail and cropping the ears you just messing up. If God did not mean for them to have that he would have already taken it off now I know some are born that way with their tails docked already. But the ears are not cropped when they are born. I am just really curious to see if this is a miniature boxer he's absolutely gorgeous his muzzle is black and he has beautiful cut features I would say is weight is about 44 to 45 lb. And yes his main color is white with brindle and black spots on him he is beautiful ❤️ I guess you can tell I love him.😊❤❤
My 91 lb boxer has been such a wonderful dog we have had Caesar for six and a half years now we just recently found out he has a sarcoma low-grade on his leg and the vet wants to amputate to save Caesar's life this will be one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make in my entire life but this dog means the world to me I don't care how much it cost for the surgery I just want my baby to be okay boxers are one of the best breeds you could ever own! They just want to give you pure love!
I had a beautiful white boxer called Lucy,she just loved people and she lived till 12 years old, i had her from a puppy it broke my heart when i had to let her go. Beautiful dogs.
And those booty shakes! :D My very first dog was boxer and it was most loving goofball in whole world. And they are not clownish... They are full time jesters. When i was sad he was acting like he wanted to make me happy again (weird faces, booty shakes, body slams etc.). He was unique.
they're different to other dog breeds so in touch with owners when ya say to dog owners that they are different all ya get is the all the same say it to a boxer owner and they will say yeses ya have to own 1 to understand
This guy owns a golden retriever which is shown in his video. Worlds apart from a boxer owner. I could research everything about a golden retriever, and use his video to do a video on his his dog. Doesn't mean I personally own one, Doesn't mean I have a personal lifelong connection with one, considering he has a golden in his background?? How about we use his video, to make a video about golden retrievers based off of research alone and screw him? Who's game? Who are real boxer owners like myself?? Stand up for the best and greatest breat breed. Let alone our favorite breed!! Common!!
@@nrfa6229 yep but that also shows the appreciation he has for this breed ever y dog owner thinks their dog is the best but when owners constantly stop ya and say how well trained ya dog is and they wish theirs were the same is the biggest compliment of all very intelligent just as a German sheperd people are shocked when I tell them how intelligent these dogs are I've never met a daft dog yet as for the owners?
I have one boxer and he was 100% pure boxer and he weighed 110 lb he too was gorgeous but I've never seen a ugly animal only those who are abused and neglected and not cared for it's so sad 😭
One thing you didn't mention is the boxer is known to be the absolutely the best seeing eye dogs of all breeds. That a person let's them they can be very cautious when on a leash and being walked.
Najpiękniejsza rasa na świecie🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍 to bokser. Przez 20 lat miałam dwie piękne cudowne bokserki Seli i Sarę żyły po 10 lat. Trzy miesiące temu odeszła moja kochana Sarunia.

Zamierzam teraz wychować jednocześnie dwie piękne bokserki. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I would like to hear more about how to help boxers adapt to apartment living. I'm getting married this week and am hoping to start a family and get a condo (I live in a big city) and I've always admired boxers, but have wondered if they would do well in a 1-2 bedroom condo. I work from home and go out for at least two walks a day, but I still want to make sure I'd be giving my future dog a good quality of life in the right environment. Any thoughts?
Curious about this too. I would love to have a boxer but I live in an apartment that has a little terrace. Did you eventually go for a boxer and how's that working out living in a condo?
I am alone and sixty a have had boxers all my life. Am I getting to old to train and exercise a boxer properly. My last boxer was wonderful she was a show dog that was going to be put down. I got to take her. I had her eight years and dearly loved her. And miss her so much. Everyday needing a best friend like her.
Did you have a pet sitter? Just got a 6 month boxer, but I am worried about leaving her alone. What did you do if you were gone 8+hours? It would be rare occasions....
@@AdriannaLLopez Congratulations on adopting your boxer. It will be an interesting journey for sure . First thing i would mention is diet.Boxers are muscular and high energy dogs and are suseptable to certain health isssuses . Particularly cancer. Diet is incredibly important with this breed. A raw diet if you can swing it would be best particularly during formative yrs( up - 3 yrs ) Keep all garbage away like biscuits, greenies, etc . Its all garbage . When she reaches 3 you can switch to a high end kibble but keep raw in the diet as a topper . Socialize as much as possible and provide enough excersise . These dogs will get destructive if you do not provide outlet for their energy. Be careful during very hot weather as they do not do well . Boxers are natural watchdogs so when this begins to show encourage with praise get up check whats going on let dog know its ok and leave it at that. They will get the picture at that point. Teach heal command so she walks well on leash . They are strong so they need to be under control. One more thing on the diet , raw can get expensive so if you must go to a kibble I recommend either origen ( very expensive) or if on budget victor high energy ( with raw topper of course)
I've had boxers 1980 you should never spank a child in front of a boxer I know that no I have not spent the child in front of the boxer but boy I wish we had one when I was growing up😂
Thanks for the video. We are really thinking of getting a boxer. However, my wife and I work 10 hour shifts Monday to Friday. We are off on the weekends Is it possible to still get a boxer and the dog live a happy healthy life? The shift work isn’t long term. Maybe the next two years. Then we will be home much more. Just looking for help and insight Thank you!
Maybe if you get an older boxer maybe 2 to 3 years old as puppies require a lot of attention. My puppy when I leave him behind the transparent door just for a minute to wash my hands starts whining and clawing at the gate. But yes he can live a happy life if you are wiling to exercise him for a minimum of an hour each day. Hope you decide and get a great puppy for yourself!
You should foster an adult, I work 8 hour shifts 7-3pm and my boxer is home with out me and he does great I just make sure he gets lots of play time when I get home. The breed is sweet, protective, and very needy lol but it’s awesome to be loved that way.
@@jxxlynchavez783 Hi, thanks for the a message. We went ahead and got a boxer puppy. Her name is Peaches. We’ve had her for 7 months. We love her so much. We spend lots of time with her when we get home and we have a dog walker spend two hours with her a day 😁😁
My white male boxer passed December 30 I’m heartbroken and I feel bad for already looking for another dog. I think that I’m doing this to fast but I don’t know what do u think
So sorry to hear this Brea, sadly there isn't really a guideline for when or if you should start looking for a new dog. It's totally up to each person, hope things go well while you decide when it's right to bring a new pup into your home
Everything is fun for a boxer. They are clowns and are goofy. But they are so loving and protective over their family. They are like 3 year old with ADHD! LOL!
Fix your mustache..it's very not even...I am however a long time boxer owner Jax is 10 an we just got Chevy who is 8 wks old...bringing in the new to learn from the best dog I've ever had Boxers are by far the best companions they have very genuine personalities
We have had 3 boxers and have one 11yrs old. Growing up I used to love the old song not R realising what the words meant. ' How much is that doggy in the window? With his tail cut short and his ears cut long.". Why. mutilate a breed of beautiful dog as Americans do? Even your. Video shows how much the boxer with no tail tried to say his amputated one. Ibs this barbaric practice still allowed in USA? for fashion? It is forbidden in most countries including mine, Australia. Thanks for promoting this wonderful breed.
