The Boxer originally comes from Germanyand were used as war dogs during the second world war by the german army. Pioneers of the breed are Frua Stockman who created the Von Dom kennels which predued the best boxers the world has ever seen.
The boxer is a nosey, bright, very alert dog, who has excellent guard instincts and a will to protect property and family, but at the same time the boxer is a clown in the strange, funny things he does. Not a viscious dog but a fearlus one. Excellent with children, seeming to know his own strength and is gentle with them. They are sometimes called the silent guard dog because of the lack of noise they make but if they hear something strange they will alert you with their booming bark.
There are many theories to the name (boxer). One is their tendancy to use their paws whilst fighting another when they play and another when the bitch is washing the pups. The boxer is a descented from the old bull breed ie mastifs, english bulldogs and the bullenbeisser which is a german dog which was used for bear hunting.
Although not commonly seen, the Boxer has been used by the police and have been successfully trained as guide dogs for the blind.
The boxer is not only faithful but fearless and highly intelligent making it one of the most popular breeds in the UK. An energetic breed, they tend to retain their youth and thoroughly enjoy an active life for much longer than many other breeds. Normally very relaxed when older, boxers can be quite a handful as pups. However, they will reward you with a lifetime of faithful service if you keep up with their early training.
Boxers are best loved for their temperament that is intelligent and very loyal. They are rather affectionate and will love to join you on the couch, preferring to be near their owners whenever possible.
They are often distrustful of strangers unless you really work on this aspect of their training when very small puppies. Otherwise, Boxers will very loudly announce visitors to your home and might make a point of diligently putting themselves between your self and your guests.
Typically, Boxers don't really calm down until they're two or three, though their physical development is usually over by 18 months. This means your early training can seem as if it's falling on deaf ears though it actually isn't. In fact, your dog may seem to rather suddenly realize what you've been telling him or her all along one day.
Though courteous to other animals in your home that they're been brought up with, they have a tendency to chase after cats and other small animals that aren't part of their pack. If you have neighbours with cats, it's best to make it a point to keep your Boxer either well way from them or train them well not to take off after
Punitive punishments rarely work with Boxers and, like many other dogs, are far more responsive to reward training. Many people have great results when training their boxers to a click or well-chosen set of commands. Click training has become very popular lately and they take rather well to it since it's reward based.
They remain very playful late into their lives, which are somewhat longer than most big dogs. Boxers love to roughhouse and are very happy to play with human companions, just as they might with another dog.
