The Fascinating Boxer Breed
The Boxer's official classification is the
Working Class breed. His keen sense of hearing makes him an
instinctive guard dog, always alert. Although always vigilant,
the Boxer is not a nervous breed and will not bark without
cause. He has an uncanny ability to distinguish between friend
and intruder. One of the delightful qualities that sets the
Boxer apart is his human-like attempts to "converse," which
make his replacement by another breed difficult for one who
has owned a Boxer. He mimics the mood of his master and can
spend hours quietly lying at his feet.
The Boxer's most notable characteristic is his
desire for human affection. Though his spirited bearing,
square jaw, and cleanly muscled body suggest the
well-conditioned middleweight athlete of dogdom, the Boxer is
happiest when he is with people--especially children, watching
protectively over their play. His short smooth coat, handsome
chiseled head, and striking silhouette never fail to excite
comments from passersby as he trots jauntily by your side with
neck arched and tail held erect. He is truly a "dog for all
seasons," suiting the need for household guardian, attractive
companion, and children's playmate and loyal friend.
