Pet Boxers, although low-maintenance, require your consistent
attention, exercise, human interaction, consistent obedience training
and lots of love. You cannot leave them to their own design for too
long or they get lonely, bored and into trouble.
Being a big and strong dog as well as a highly intelligent one, Boxers
need both physical and mental stimulations to keep them even-tempered
and dignified while still keeping their impish spirit and fearless
courage in tact.
How to keep Boxer out of trouble
Their high prey drive (some owners called it play drive) needs proper
outlets or they could get destructive as house pets, and tend to fight
among themselves especially if the other family Boxers are of the same
sex. The female, it seems, is more aggressive than the male.
Keeping Boxers busy is the best way to keep them out of trouble! Tire
them out with long walks, 3 times a day. Give them plenty of exercise,
play with them, especially the inquisitive puppies or they would tear
up your home out of boredom, pent up energy and frustration.
For all your love and caring, be prepared for wet slobbery drool and
kisses and love in return.
What some proud owners say about their pet Boxers:
* "Having a Boxer is like having another human in a dog body with you.
You can talk to Boxers and they would understand. They demonstrate
feelings just like human does. If they are loved, they will love and
protect you."
* "Boxers are the most loyal companions. My Boxers bring me up when I
am down. They are the canine clowns of the dog world. They are the
only dogs for me."
* "They are a gift! The two I have are always smiling and they cheer
me up when Ipm not too happy. They can be your friends for life!"
* "My Boxer can take up my moods or lay quietly by my feet for hours."
* "Boxers are so intuitive, so easily bored and heartbroken. They are
the definition of devotion and courage."
* "If I treat my Boxer puppy as an intelligent animal and talk to him
almost like he's human, he is more responsive and better behaved, as
though he's picking up on my sentiments by the way I am speaking to him."
* "Boxers can be very manipulative. They are a lot smarter than they
look! Donpt get taken in by their innocent-looking face or let them
walk all over you no matter how much their eyes make them look like
they are truly sorry."
* "Give up being house-proud and enjoy your "devil dog". Donpt have
potted plants because youpll end up with empty pots. Donpt run to
answer the phone because youpll be rugby-tackled and end up flat on
your face."
* "Bringing a puppy or even an older dog into your home and your life
is a major decision. It brings with it responsibility and commitment,
but it also renders supreme joy, laughter, and sadly, but inevitably,
tears. Not one of us who has ever shared his life with a Boxer would
have it any other way."
* "Boxer dogs think they are human. Treat them like one - love them,
talk to them, cuddle them and value them and you will get your love
back unconditionally 10,000 times."
