Boxer's temper
If you decided to have a
Boxer in
your family, you should know that this dog is not for everyone.
Those who prefer quiet and calm dogs can be slightly disturbed
with excessive Boxer's emotionality and activity. Boxer can be
described as a "full of life"
dog. It is very boisterous and joyful. The dog of this
breed is usually very excited when playing, it likes running
about
and be ready that you will be involved in your dog's games. Due to its
mischievous nature and love to tease, Boxer will become a good
friend for your children. This dog may be called "people dog".
It
should be always surrounded with people and get a lot of
attention. The happiest time for this dog is when it is among
its
human family. Boxer cannot stand loneliness or waiting chained
in
the cage or its dog house. It can be explained by its constant
need of attention, love and companionship. That is why this dog
is
a perfect choice for large families with children, where it will
be always in the centre of attention and it is usually
well-disposed equally to each family member.
The other exceptional feature of the Boxer is its slow mature. Unlike most dog
breeds, Boxers tend to behave as puppies for rather long time.
Only at the age of 3-4 years they somehow settle down. However, they
still remain very joyful and lively for all period of their
life.
Boxer is an excellent breed for training. You must remember that
you should be tender and hard,
but
never rude. When treating the Boxer in a rude way, it
loses its interest to work and makes an impression of a
week-headed dog without any desire to do something. However,
spoiled Boxer, as well as any ill-mannered dog, is not suitable
for serious work and becomes a source of constant disappointment
because of its uncontrollable inclination for its scamp
behavior.
High-bred Boxer is rather sensitive, absolutely fearless,
reliable
and combines responsiveness with good controlability. Many
Boxers
are rather daring with other dogs and fight really often,
selflessly and with pleasure. At the same time they are
stubborn,
with little sensitivity to pain and almost never hesitate or
show
weakness when they are provoked. Still, intraspecific aggressive
orientation of this breed had been brought down by selection and
nowadays it became more sportive breed. Boxers can be easily
trained for guard and security as they have high active defense
reaction, strong bite and come into fight with an offender
excitedly and with pleasure. However, despite the Boxer's hot
character, most of the dogs are very friendly and loyal to the
strangers when there is no provocation or owner's order to the
opposite action. Boxer is really fond of different active games,
usually interested in fetching and remains active until the
extreme old age.
If you are really sure of purchasing the Boxer, be prepared to
spent a lot of time with your pet and, of course, to love it.
Only
this way you will get a loyal friend, a good assistant and a
selfless guard of your family.
