Boxers have been traced to exist for over a hundred years now.
They are said to have originated from Germany as the crossbreed
between the Brabanter Bullenbesser (from Belgium) and the
English Bulldog. Boxer dogs are known for their intelligence,
hardiness, loyalty and its being family-oriented which makes it
a great family pet. It is often commented that a family with a
boxer is one that is filled with laughter and joy.
Boxer dogs have the natural tendency for learning new things and
mental stimulation. It is widely recognized that bored boxer
dogs make bad dogs. They need to be

constantly trained, just
like with other dogs.
Contrary to popular beliefs, boxer dogs are not guard dogs, they
can be excellent watchdogs though as they will bark at any
strangers if need be. However, they don't like isolation and are
not naturally aggressive or viscous. Actually, the majority of
boxers are known to not stand a time separated from their
owners. They need continuous interaction with the family and are
very affectionate to their owners. In fact, one of the most
difficult training exercise for this breed is not to attack
their own owners.
Because of their

sturdiness and other "strong" physical
features, they are mostly trained to become guard dogs. Sadly,
many are left into abandonment due to their owner's
dissatisfactions. In actuality, they cannot be easily trained
for attack and they are abused for such.
Boxer dogs are overwhelmingly playful. On a poll survey
conducted, dog owners described boxers as clowns, contradicting
the aggressive portrayal widely accepted today. They are
exuberant from day one to their senior years. Boxer dogs is an
entertaining breed and always have the knack for making unique
tricks like the "kidney beaning"

and the "woo-woo". These two
are often manifested when they are excited or overly happy
(which is true in most cases).
Kidney beaning is a dance, which is characterized with a
semi-circle turn then a turn for a full circle. On the other
hand, "woo-woo" is a distinct sound they made which appeals like
a bark but is actually not.
Boxer dogs have the personality that is unique in their breed,
but this does not apply with all dog owners. They need to be
constantly fed with physical and mental exercises to spend their

require. Boxer dogs are not known of sleeping the whole day away
or go off 0on their own. If they are not sufficiently exercised,
they may be very destructive, this they do to amuse themselves.
For at least twice a day, they must be exercised or jogged.
One good way of providing worthwhile activities for boxer dogs
is the obedience training. In fact, it is a must for all owners
of this breed but to be sure, obedience training is both a
win-win situation for both the owner and the dogs.
During training, it is not unusual to see stubborn boxers. Due
to their intelligence,

weather conditions. They have short coat and a short nasal
cavity; both are not apt for cold weather and hot weather
respectively. Additionally, these are lap dogs however large
