Do Boxers Make Good Pets?
Boxers make wonderful pets! However, it is very important to remember that Boxers are classified as working dogs. Their infinite amount of energy, strength, courage and intelligence made them prized hunting and guard dogs in the past. It is these same traits of the Boxer dog temperament that often are mismanaged and lead to Boxers going to animal shelters or rescue organizations. They require a lot of attention every day and if left to their own devices, they might dig a new hole for a tree you never planned for or decide that they did not like your choice of down pillows. Boxers are not the perfect fit for every family so it is vital to evaluate your lifestyle and make a realistic decision. An owner must be willing to put time into exercising, training and most importantly loving their dog to bring out the best in their Boxer dog’s temperament. This is a perfect recipe for a relationship that will bless you for the rest of your life!
