Personality and Temperment
Boxers are very kind dogs that are curious, playful and friendly. Because they are in the working class, naturally, they are very strong dogs. They usually take a long time to mature, and therefore can stay in the “puppy phase” until they are 3-4 years old. This is one factor that people should take into consideration when thinking about getting a Boxer. Boxers have a lot of energy and will need to have a lot of daily exercise. If they do not get a good amount of exercise daily, they can become boisterous and possibly destructive. They are intelligent and very loyal to their owners. Boxers can be very good dogs for a family because they naturally have the instinct to guard them. In addition, they have a tendency to be patient with children, but they are also quite large and could knock them over by mistake. Boxers are a great dog for an energetic family who are looking for a loving addition!
