Strong, smart, loyal, and self-assured, the Boxer is great with kids and makes a wonderful family pet. A typical boxer has boundless energy and curiosity and is a natural clown. Although it’s rare to find one with a mean streak, the breed can be inquisitive to a fault, and the Boxer’s extroverted, comic personality can drive your neighbors’ cats and dogs up a tree–literally and figuratively. Luckily, those characteristics are balanced by the Boxer’s intelligence and strong desire to please. Boxers excel at obedience training, hospital therapy volunteer work, and rescue work, and they make excellent watchdogs as well.

Is this frolicsome clown the right dog for you and your family? Boxers For Dummies provides the answer to this and all your questions about getting, caring for and living with this loveable breed.
