I have owned four boxers over the last 18 years. Reasons 1 - 4 were never as bad as he says. Its all about how you train them. They adjust to your lifestyle very easily. Patience and firmness are the keys. Don't let this guy dissuade you from getting a boxer. Best dogs ever.

[@Melinda8162]

I agree! Mine were not difficult at all! Different? For sure! My female was quiet, hardly barked, lazy, liked laying around! Never even pulled on a leash, never was aggressive. My boy, different story! Big and beautiful as heck! But, more aggressive, had to ‘ sit ‘ on him once in awhile!! Smart, strong, loyal and perfect looking ! Got lots of attention from people! But, he had to be watched, he was very protective!

[@PaulisVidal]

I agree, I hv owned 2 in 20 yrs and they r truly the perfect breed, both Athena and Buster adapted to my lifestyle! And mannerisms. So obedient all I had to do was raise my voice and they would snap back to full attention to me, almost like teenagers. Their energy levels were high but quickly adapted to my routine.

Boxers are an amazing breed. I got my first boxer pup in my early 20’s and was able to train him and exercise daily. He eventually became the ultimate family dog and is sorely missed. Since then, I’ve rescued two older boxers and they don’t require as much exercise and attention as younger pups. They’ve adapted well to family life without all the maintenance. I highly recommend a boxer rescue, especially if you don’t have the time and energy to commit to a pup.

[@WriterOfMany]

I had my first boxer as a puppy. He never had separation anxiety (I didnt know they were prone to it). We'd come home and he'd be laying on the carpet chill as could be, and as soon as he saw us he'd leap up and give us a happy wigglebutt welcome. He died at 10.5 yrs old from cancer (mass cell tumor). My second boxer I got when she was 5, she had some separation anxiety (possibly). If we left and she was left out of her crate, she would pull random things down from the counter, sometimes the trash (but wouldn't eat them). If she was in her crate, she was fine. She died a few months after her 9th birthday from lymphoma. Boxers are very very likely to get cancer so it's imperative that you get any weird symptoms or strange lumps looked at immediately. I love my Biscuit and Duchess to pieces 💕 Lemme just add that both dogs had cancer more than once. Biscuit had a growth taken off his ear, then his side, and then his last bump is what killed him. Duchess came to us with a few different bumps (some blood pockets and one was a mass cell tumor just starting on her tummy) and then the lymphoma we didnt catch until her lymph nodes in her neck began to swell. So you really really have to watch. I wish your pups good health 💕

[@carlitos6678]

Great video! I drool, have lots of energy, I'm intelligent, don't like to be alone, and health issues, I think I'm a boxer. I rescued 3 boxers over the last 17 years and each one of them were very special in my life. I found my fourth one in front of my house and I believe that it was destiny because i was going through tough times. I do not see myself without a boxer, they are a part me.

My boxers and boxer mixes have been the best dogs I've ever owned. I grieve terribly for their passing. It was losing a besf friend. Their loyalty and loving nature and the pure joy they bring make every morning a joy to come downstairs to their greeting . I can live with drool. I can drive and have my buddy with me rather than fly.. and they trusted I would come home from work and never destroyed anything. They just want to please and be loved.

[@SuperDesignguy]

I've had 3 boxers. None drooled. 2 high energy. 1 low energy. All three love(d) to constantly whimper / cry when bored. After having 2 high energy boxers I figured that my third boxer pup would eventually get a companion. This time I got a Boston terrier pup to help keep him busy. Lol. The Boston terrier is the highest energy dog and drive I've ever seen. 3rd boxer loves to sleep. Boston terrier is nuts. I love them both! Great dogs!

Despite the title of this video, it is clear the presenter loves and appreciates boxers. He is pretty much “spot on” with his comments, although individual boxers may vary in how much of each behavior they exhibit. Our family has had boxers for three generations and would not even consider another breed. I got a chuckle out of the comments about being a guard dog. When the door bell would ring, our dogs would bark and rush to the door drooling all the way. A delivery person would cringe, immediately back away from the door and ask, “...does it bite?? My response was always, “Yes, she is very dangerous and if she gets loose, she could lick you to death.” LOVE THE BOXER!

[@342boss]

Spot on! Excellent video. Don't forget snoring, dysplasia, ligament damage..... I even tried a "mutt" Boxer. 75% Boxer, 12.5% Amstaff and 12.5% Italian Greyhound. Acted 100% Boxer. Part dog, deer and cat. Didn't drool, but foamed at the mouth on walks with new smells and excitement. It was kind of embarrassing. Separation anxiety....OMG!! She literally ripped a cage to shreds shorty after we got her. Couldn't stand not being with her people. Finally got her to the point where I was only repainting a door once a year. This really never went away. One time I ran out for an hour. I left the pantry open. Came back and everything in there was piled up in the family room. Not torn apart...just her way of saying "don't leave me". I rarely did. Permanent bed in my SUV. I've always worked from home. She ran every errand with me. We're avid boaters. Water dog was a must. Doesn't usually go with Boxers. Family members have Labs that showed her the ropes (see what I did there). She absolutely loved swimming! Never did catch on to the ball and retrieve thingy. Unfortunately had every single Boxer ailment we were trying to avoid. Tore her ACL when she was 3. In the last 18 months had mass cell tumors removed (ones we could feel and test). Hundreds of stitches. Four eye procedures for "Boxer" ulcers. Lost her to the cancer a couple months ago. Just made it to 10 years old. Best damn dog 🐕 we ever could have hoped for! We've just started looking for a replacement. Apparently shelters are empty because of the pandemic. I hope all those animals (and owners) keep their homes. Doggysitting friend's two Boxers right now. Maybe to see if we're ready!?!? Not yet. All we do is compare them to ours. Sorry for rambling. Best breed ever! Make sure they're the right breed for you though. These are not cheap dogs to maintain! They need the time and work put into them. If you do....it's the most rewarding experience ever!

We are on our 4th boxer and they are the absolute best dog. He's our very first one that we got as a puppy as the other three were rescues and were already over a year old. I fully agree with everything you said, too many people get boxers as puppies thinking they're so adorable not realizing the amount of work and attention they require. It's been amazing watching him learn and grow from a tiny tot to almost a year old. He is extremely intelligent and loves to be with his kids. He loves to play with everyone, he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He loves his daily runs on the bayou with his daddy and chasing squirrels in his backyard. For as long as I live I will never own another breed!

Hmmm....I think someone forgot to tell my boxer and my boyfriend's boxer's that they're supposed to be like this. Maybe we just got the exceptions to the normal rule 😅. Ours are surprisingly lazy and they don't usually drool unless we have pizza or hot dogs nearby. The one female boxer is actually so picky with food and what activities she'll do that she'll actually walk away if she doesn't want to eat or do something. It's crazy how different each dog can be despite being the same breed.

[@Muhfucking23]

I had a purebred boxer as a kid, he lived until I was 23 years old. He didn't calm down till he turned about 13, the last few years of his life were very relaxed. I have a bully/ boxer now. I had no idea such a small dog could be so strong and smart. But for an 80lb bully he is incredibly careful with my 1 year old son and loves every kid he sees. He's very much an alpha he can't be approached by other assertive males but other than that he loves everyone. I had to get this one fixed because the mounting got violent, the whole getting aquainting portion of dog park was a gamble.

Sorry for my bad english, it’s not my first language. You’re so right. I had a boxer dog a long time ago, when I was a child. My mother took care about him, when I was at school. It was the best time of the day, when I went around the corner to my house and my Mum sent him out on the street to welcome me. I can’t describe that feeling. My parents made a decision to sent me to a farm for holidays. To ride horses and so on… After a few days I decided to go home, because I missed my friend too much. When my parents arrived with the car to take me home and I ran to it to hug my best friend he was totally pissed and turned his back to me during the complete way home. I was so sad about that and I never never went to a holiday without him again. Because of my work I was forced to live without a dog. Now, I‘m glad to do my work from my home and the next thing to do is to search a new friend, a Boxer dog. I need and love the energy, the stubborn behavior and the unique love they give.

Love your channel(s) Will. I couldn’t comment on your video Boxer v GSD playoff bracket (Boxer eliminated in a sweep). I agreed with you on all of the rounds except round one. For people like us who can devote time, your right, but most people can’t. I’ve never seen a Boxer turn aggressive from boredom. I’ve seen them turn into behavioral nightmares but not aggressive. I have seen GSD’s turn aggressive due to boredom. It probably has something to due with how the GSD is more intelligent and feels it should be doing something as to where the Boxer is more like “no one is here to say no so....party?” Either way your right the GSD wins but I had to throw this out there due to the sweep. Keep doing what your doing Will! Your great.

[@harperrowell5280]

i am thinking of getting a boxer puppy. i have one dog already turning 5 this year. i have a huge backyard and my house isn’t small either. i want to avoid my couches getting torn up as much as possible so i was wondering if putting in a dog door into the backyard would help with the stress and energy, also would having a dog already help with anxiety? i do have pleanty of young kids that come around and am scared a boxer would nock over the kids. for training i am a good trainer and have access to a good dog training class for social purposes i guess. basically, is a boxer good for me?

[@everythangskylarraiyn8132]

It could just be my boxer but here's my opinion ion based on all of these points. 1. My boxer, Ali is extremely lazy and will lay around all day if he wanted to. He does get the zoomies like other dogs but often times he is curled up on the step soaking in the sun. 2. I wouldn't say drool it too much of a problem. He only drools if there is good, after he eats or drinks, and when he gets extremely excited. 3. I got my dog when he was two years old, so I did not train him from a puppy. He is extremely intelligent and easily trainable. I personally don't see that as a con since I have plenty of toys to stimulate his brain. 4. Piggy backing of the third point, the main thing about him being so smart is that he is an escape artist with separation anxiety. It is often very hard to leave him alone because of the fear of him escaping his cage. I have to give him CBD treats, plenty of exercise, and lock him in his cage with carabiner clips. Even with those, he tends to get out so I had to buy a new, more sturdy crate for him. I will edit this when I get it. (Also I think the main reason he has separation anxiety is because he was left alone a lot in his old house.) 5. I can't really give my opinion on this point since my dog is healthy, but I have heard (not personally) of some boxers having different health problems. If you plan on getting or have a boxer, please look up different health risks and ways to prevent them to keep your baby healthy.

[@hehejejehe2866]

I really want a boxer but I work a full time job. I got my first boxer when I was 12 and I trained him to go off leash in a field and on our lawn in just 3 weeks at the age of 15 weeks. I work a full time job and I am going to give him 1 hour of field exercise in the morning and 1-2 hours when I come home. I will also be paying a neighbourhood kid to walk my dog around the block and play with him in my backyard for a bit. Do you think my dog will be ok.

[@shanamchenry5877]

Yes! Just be careful of separation anxiety and how intense exercise time is. Too intense of exercise can lead to over heating but not enough can lead to the dog still having energy to burn. It sounds like your possible boxer companion would get their energy burned out properly as long as the dog is trained. Some boxer's won't do well with strangers so it might help to have the neighbor kid around during training sessions to help the dog become more familiar with them. The earlier training starts, the better! Separation anxiety can be aided with a good trainer and patience. It is not necessarily something that will go away, but it can become something the dog will tolerate for short periods of time. That was actually the hardest section for my boxer to pass on her canine good citizen test but with a good trainer and patience she eventually became a little less anxious and was able to pass her test.

[@fenrirboxershow6270]

Thanks for watching!

[@mobkiller1528]

I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Boxers are the best dogs I’ve ever known. I got a boxer from the boxer rescue. She was used as a breeder dog and was most likely abused. She now has a happy life and while she can be a bit clingy, is still an amazing family dog. My grandparents also got a boxer from the rescue and he was so gentle and kind. Boxers are very protective and loyal. They will do anything to protect their owners.

I have a boxer/pug mix. She's such a hype dog, she would literally run until she'd pass out. Especially dangerous in the summer. She wouldn't realize that it's too much/hot for her. When I wake up, she's always right beside me, resting her head on my other pillow looking at me 💕 Even if she's half asleep she'll follow me to the toilet and wait for me 🥰

[@estrellagonzalez9569]

I had boxers all my life and boxers are amazing

[@robertbelcher5068]

As a long time boxer breeder two corrections to the video- Boxers shouldn't drool. A boxer with good jaw confirmation won't drool any more than any other dog. And they can be dog aggressive. Fantastic with people, but some boxers do not play well with dogs from outside the pack.

[@michellehuffman2025]

So, I've never had a boxer before. Recently, the animal shelter called and they have a male boxer mix, ( not sure w what though), maybe 1-2 years old. I work about 5 days a week, hours vary. My husband currently m-f, day shift, home by afternoon. 17 Year old son at home all day. Husband home every weekend. We're older so our energy level isn't as much as it used to be. LoL. But..... I've met and walked with the boxer mix the shelter has. My heart goes out to this sweet boy! I've been looking for another dog, since our beagle/lab/blue tic mix passed away a couple years ago. We miss him tremendously! But I'm ready to have another puppy. Now, we'd prefer to have one that is still a puppy puppy. But... This poor guy is just waiting to have a home and people to love him! I guess I'm just trying to figure out if I should go through with bringing him home, or let someone else who has the same energy level and time, as I'm leaning it takes. Big decision! Any suggestions or thoughts, would be greatly appreciated!

[@JayG94]

Have always loved boxer dogs & always wanted my own, where would you suggest I can find a boxer puppy?

[@chanceandzena6143]

I love my boxer Zena. Sweetest ever.

[@matthewwhitner8560]

I'm 1 year into owning my 1st boxer. The boxer is extremely high-energy, fun-loving, and very dependent dog. I'm constantly exercising her in order to keep her under control. I'm happy, and i love her. I'm glad this is getting me up off the couch...

[@joemc7614]

I've had a boxer and a pittbull. Reasons #1 thru #4 are 1000% worse with pittbulls, but they are both my favourite breeds

[@1mvn]

Love ,y boxer, he turned 2 a couple of days ago.. first four months were super ruff but we had it through, even growing up in a 1 bedroom apartment. Still working on his GI issues though but absolutely love this boy

[@cooperbryant785]

My family had a little run boxer named Due and he was the most amazing little dog we had. Super loving and really intelligent with commands.

[@anthonyd2285]

i have a chihuahua/pug and and boxer, and the chihuahua was far more destructive as a puppy my boxer seems to learn extremely fast, i had her fixed before she started going into heat and her energy level seems to be just as any other puppy(1yr old). the dog is very strong i just wish she was a bit more protective...

[@pramodh17]

Whatever the pros n cons..The boxers look n demeanour has captured my imagination for past 27 years! There is a unique aura that no other thing in the world hasnt..but that the boxer has..

[@hayliepinkerton6004]

I love boxer puppy so much I have a boxer puppy name Rory she is so sweet and she is white and she has to different color eyes blue and hazel and she is deaf and she is so sweet and so nice to other dogs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@stevenfinch9026]

Great channel

[@kaymusick8083]

Our boxer didn't drool alot,we had our boxer for 91/2 yrs due to losing him from cancer.. best dog to have.we miss him dearly!

[@danna140]

Is there anything we can do to prevent the Mass Cell tumors they're prone to ?

[@muffinthemoggy4359]

Dear Frenrir_ can you drop ur opinions what you think about boxers with cropped ears.

[@makaylal2845]

My family has only ever had boxers and we always let them outside by themselves for hours and they run and play all day and have so much fun

[@makaylal2845]

And also our boxers are so calm

[@southerncross3638]

I'm an OTR Truck driver, I have a 5yr old named Rose, She has been to every state in the continental US. Not all Boxers drool their is a wet mouth type and a dry, Rose is a dry, I have 8 more at Home. If left alone at home put on classical music or talk radio, generally works. Wonderful Dogs.

[@psgbarmyiowa4145]

I have on and I love him too! You can tell they are attentive dogs by the way they observe

[@perlaleon5303]

I have a boxer and 2 other animals a maltipoo pup and a tabby cat,no problems with taking care of boxers and have CUTE SMOOSHIE FACES

[@christina9097]

Boxers are amazing dogs! My guy is the sweetest and loves his family so much! He does have a lot of energy! And he also had a large tumor grow around 5 months, which I didn’t realize was an issue with this breed. He doesn’t drool unless he was just drinking. I think they are amazing dogs for families with older children probably 8+. They are very easy to train but can get into trouble if left unsupervised, especially if under a year. My boxer also has chronic allergies that make his ears red and he is also very allergic to bees. He has the sweetest temperament with people and loves to play with other dogs.

[@fenrirboxershow6270]

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience from your boxer!

[@bouncertheboxerdog7478]

Love this channel btw -- with that being said I agree with number 5 only. Boxers are amazing! Trainable, loyal, not lazy, working dog, loves every one and everything, dont shed much, dont dig much, dont bark much, cute as a button, goofy, funny, fun to be around at all times and helps protect the house and people of interest...

[@krystalmarieoh]

I currently have a boxer that I rescued. She had been been abused for over 2 years. She is protective of me, doesn't like men, does have anxiety when I'm gone but my vet told me this is common for a dog with PTSD not because of her breed (I did ask because I had people try to convince not to get her because of she's a boxer). Billie is a GREAT dog and we are working on her fears. I can't believe much of what he says. Maybe Billie is different because of her PTSD? either way I know others who have boxers and they're damn good dogs!

[@herrsanchez]

Hello, my boxer is a very loved dog, and as a puppy he used to be absolutely nice to everybody, at 18 months, he still is, but sometimes when I stop to talk to people at the park or by the street, he can be really aggressive, bark and tries to attack, what is going on? How can I fix it? I used to let him run with his leash attached to the collar, but now I am a bit worried and I'm afraid to let him run free.

[@fenrirboxershow6270]

Thanks for watching! We've actually got a video over on our main training channel looking at dog aggression on the lead you might find helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6G6e3-wmpmkY9k

[@br1729]

We've had 6 boxers in our family, and I still think this is a good topic for a video--you want a good fit. Regarding #1, our last boxer was with my octogenarian mother. Now, she was very diligent about walking him regularly, but otherwise he just hung out with her during the day. When I visited, I would also take him to the dog park, which he absolutely loved, and which gave him a good opportunity to run around safely. He was a big boy, almost 100 pounds, the biggest of our six. So if you think you can provide this much exercise to a boxer, I wouldn't worry too much about his/her energy level.

[@andresalvarez6784]

Great value

[@schlaznger8049]

My little boxer is about as calm and laid back as possible, does not drool. Rule #3 is absolutely correct. Rule #4 spot on. Constipation is also a problem with the breed. Thank you!

[@fenrirboxershow6270]

Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful!

What short hair medium size dog that is good being left on its own with you are at work? Please advise

My boxer was the wildest dog I have ever owned. As soon as I finally got the training I needed he is the best friend I have ever owned. Is is 100 percent trained off leash. He is my best friend. He was sooo much work and expensive but worth it.

[@barbielawley8754]

I am sixty and lost my boxer a year a go and miss her greatly. Do I need to get a different breed?

[@janeenatkins1654]

Our family used to be farmers and we all had boxers. I love boxers and I have one now. The first emergency we had was she broke a blood vessel in her ear. Then afterwards got that all fixed she did the other ear. That was a very expensive summer.

[@scottmalm2947]

Best dog I ever had missing very loving and you know exactly what you're talking about and all that before I got him he was the best maxed out

[@fenrirboxershow6270]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@tufanofamily4604]

This is why you should get a boxer my box is the best well you’re funny they are cute And They are playful

[@humanblockhead5726]

My boxer blue healer is the best guard herding dog I could ever dream of 😍 So lucky she has a long snout

[@caydenchattin5953]

Wow my boxer and I think you’re very wrong

[@fenrirboxershow6270]

Which parts did you disagree with? Good to hear your opinion!

[@williamcote4852]

Just came across your channel. I have a boxer, 5 years old. The best dog, friend I've ever had. His name is Gronk. He had a tumor and the great people at LSU animal hospital was able to remove it. Thank God, don't know what I would do without my buddy. The boxer is an awesome bread. The playfulness, the goofiness will make you laugh all day

[@thor992000]

My drool monster is great. Loki is so smart that he was able to detect when my son was about to have an epileptic seizure and warn us. Or he would stay with my son to protect him. Loki was never trained to detect seizure. We love our boxer.

[@shmevanriceballz2857]

I see the comments are the typical “I loved my (insert name here) dog breed!” This literally goes for all dogs. All dogs can be loved and can be loving if taken care of properly and in the right housing situation. I personally didn’t want to get a boxer 6 years ago because of how they are.

[@thecookj454]

Boxers are not for everyone but I’ll say whole heartedly the best dog I ever owned was a boxer. I consider that dog a true friend never to be forgotten
