A Great Family Dog

A breed of dog named the Boxer is known to be very family-friendly and they enjoy being around people. You should treat them as family members. Never underestimate their need for human companionship; this is one of the most notable traits of this breed.

The Boxer is happiest when in the company of people. When happy his whole pelvis moves when a Boxer wags its tail in delight. A Boxer can adapt to any environment as long as there are people for it to interact with. They love to be your shadow; most owners constantly trip over them. Boxers are very intelligent and are quite capable of participating in any family adventure.

You should accept them for what they are and give them sufficient time to show how loyal they can be. They are very sensitive animals, and you should never strike them (or any other animal). Boxers are gentle with children, and love to play and are always ready for a romp or game. You should introduce the Boxer to your children early, as this will help to bond the Boxer and child together and help prevent jealousy from either one. You will find the Boxer will be protective of the child it grew up acting as a guardian. Some owners have even found their Boxers love to be around children more than adults. They are good-natured, accept friendly strangers and will calmly suffer the pokes and prods which many children dish out.
