Boxer Dog - Top 10 Facts

[@earthmuffin28]

We have had Boxers for 35 years and have loved every minute. Ringo, my beautiful male, almost gave his life to save my grandsons from an attack by a buck in rut when they were playing on the edge of the woods. He lost an eye and took a horrible beating, but is coming along and healing. This hero almost gave his life and I have no doubt he would do it again.

[@replicacity92]

Boxers are brave, thank God for your boy Ringo

[@Tbreeze19]

This is an amazing story. I love my Boxer as well and I have full confidence that he would do the same.

[@lazybones69]

Ringo is the goodest boi.

[@mantisjdg]

He deserves the best from you.

[@muaythaigal9987]

Mine saved me from my carpet steamer today lol he's 9 weeks old and hates the steamer and vacuum. In all seriousness, I'm glad yours is doing better ❤

[@FroBoy696]

God i miss my boxer. He lived until he was 15 passing away in 2012. Even after all these years I love that fucking dog.

[@stueyroc3459]

15 years!! Thats awesome!! I got 11 from mines..Definitely the best dogs that ever lived!!

[@ayaansandeep2504]

I had the same experience but mine died in 2016

[@bashnagata3496]

I haven't had a Boxer yet. But I know how you feel. My favorite 2 dogs were Siberian Huskies. A mother and son. The son lived until he was 10, and the mother lived until she was 15. They both past away a long time ago. But I still miss them dearly.

[@vetsai8199]

I’ve had two Boxers-I miss them both terribly! There is NOTHING like a Boxer, and I hope to have another one, soon!!

[@Mat-ql8vf]

Just lost mine one month ago, 11 years. One and only love.

[@thecookj454]

my boxer is 7 years old and plays and needs 2 walks a day like he's 2 years old lmao. they are super funny dogs and really hyper with a lot of personality. love em

[@kokee1550]

Haha my boxer is also 7yo and his brain is 2 and i go out with him 3 times per day he is so energetic and love to play for entire day😆

[@magnusrutger8863]

I miss my boxer. She wasn't my pet she was my bud. I never had to discipline her, she never misbehaved badly.Very perceptive dogs, they know what's going on. Their were times I swore she understood English. Her motivated good naturedness rubbed off on me. It was my honor to be her friend from the time she was four weeks until she passed over a decade later

[@whitenoiseihearu4018]

magnus rutger ...my turns 12 this year and I can't imagine how hard it will be. I completely understand why you say it is an honor to live with them. Her hearing is going and she immediately learned new hand signals. She knew i figured out her hearing issues and I will swear she smiled at me the moment I figured it out. They are kind and patient with us trying to connect with them, they are already connected to us. Hope you get your next one soon they make a house a loving home. And im sure your last one would want you to be happy again.

[@samgoldberg7494]

Sorry to hear about you bud think of all the good memories.

[@slayerkaren]

I had the same experience! My boxer Bella died 1 year ago. I also never had to discipline her. Her intelligence and gentle nature surprised me every day. She was an amazing best friend to have in my life - and I have to admit life just isn't as fun without her around. I was lucky to be her family.

[@tehya986]

i teared up reading that. my boxer was exactly the same. she was so energetic and playfully, and she rarely misbehaved. she was my first ever dog and the bestest friend i could ever ask for. she passed at 9 years old.. gone too soon.

[@T3l3MuNd0]

I miss mine too. I had my Boxer as my 18th birthday present. She was 6 weeks and fell asleep on me on the ride back home. Only for her to start crying once she woke up from my arms knowing shes not with the rest of the other dogs....fast forward to last year & She was 10, about to be 11, still wanting to eat, wanting to go on walks, wanting to be around me until 1 day i bring her inside & she just wants to lay down all day but be near me and only me. Has no energy to wanna do anything. So i do my own tests of feeding her dog food, she refuses. I feed her rice & chicken, she still refuses...i go on a walk with her within 200 feet of walking she falls down and collapses NEVER did that in her life. I was getting more concerned she has Cancer possibly. Monday comes & she just wants to lay on her bed all day & night. Tuesday we bring her to the vet for a checkup & see what result we get within 2 days. Wednesday was the moment i knew what was the worst part of having a dog... i come home crying thinking about her & she sees sme crying. Shes trying so hard to show me shes still young, she still has energy, shes MY DOG & she goes to stand on her back legs so i can catch her 2 front legs to show shes strong...only to fall down, collapse, & still willing to try to get up only to struggle even more. After that i just hugged her really tight because i knew she couldnt be her old self but i still loved her & didnt wanna let her go... Thursday i get the news thay my Boxer has both Cancer & a UTI. So that explained alot and how much she was struggling with her legs. I told the vet i wanted to put my dog down thay day & let her go to sleep. The vet was trying to convince me therapy for her but she was already 10 & also as a pet owner, you KNOW your dog better than anyone. I knew i had to put my dog to sleep that day. So i went to little Caesars & i bought the flat 6$ pizza & i let my dog eat most of it. Honesty it brought her joy & a lil bit of life cuz then once we went to the vet she had her energy back like a puppy again. But they always say when your old dog, who sleeps all day & cant walk & looks helpless start acting like a puppy around u again, its because they know theyre about to die & they wanna show you their last impression of their old self to their owner. I went to the vet after & i held my dog after the first shot. That first shot was scary as she didnt know what was happening in like the first few minutes then i held her & once i held her & she knew i was there with her until she took her last breath, she was literally snoring & basically enjoying the fact that her owner loved her as much as she loved him. As much as i hate that my Boxer is gone, I'm glad she was MY dog & she was there for me when i needed her & her as for me. For any pet owners out there, i would say enjoy your time with your dogs. Cuz once theyre gone, all they have from your are memories or pictures.

[@henryde771]

My boxer doesn’t know how to play with smaller dogs he thinks there the same as big ones and starts smashing his paws on them😂🤦‍♂️

[@addidodge797]

Same😂😂

[@egz3637]

train them properly

[@emilio9684]

my boxer thinks he's a lap dog

[@mrRandomvideos1]

a small firm tap on the top of the nose will let any dog know they have done something wrong but at the same time wont really hurt them, use a sound with it aswell like a loud "hey" or "no".

[@addidodge797]

egZ do you have a boxer if not you have no idea how hard it is to train them they still think they are pups at 3 they are super stubborn and won’t really listen until they realize their not a puppy anymore

[@robertparker5271]

And they can fart like no one's business!!!

[@srhatfield]

Yep! They gulp air when they eat, and that air has to come out sometime! If you want to help your nose, give the Boxer a couple of tablespoons of Dannon non-fat unsweetened yogurt with their food. The pro-bacteria in the yogurt will "eat" the nitrogen in their stomach, eliminating the foul smell of the farts. They love the yogurt and will lick the bowl clean, too! I had the privilege of having a Boxer as my best friend and learned a thing or 2 that helped him and me.

[@b.h.b829]

yeah , when my dog is sleeping he Often Farts it stinks -

[@br1729]

We call them "gas pains" 😉

[@uneasyrider3456]

I tragically lost my baby boxer at 9 month old. Been 4 years since and I even grieve as I write this. Understand you are getting a commitment closer to a child than a dog. If your heart is open, they can show what love truly is to someone who hasn’t experienced true love in their life.

[@RAMPAGE36542]

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that your boxer is resting easy.

[@dot6823]

Dang 🥲

[@Snarkapotamus]

That's really true! They're more like children than dogs...our boy was a rescue and he was the sweetest critter that I'll probably ever have the privilege of knowing. Miss him horribly to this day!

[@IsabeldeFrance]

We had a boxer boy, he was my son’s puppy, so officially, he was my grand puppy. His name was Comrade, which means, buddy, companion, fellow soldier. We also called him Bubbas. He was playful, goofy and compassionate. He would adapt to every personality in our home. He’d play like a puppy with kids but he’d also be protective of everyone. He’d lick tears off anyone’s face who’d be going through a rough moment. So incredibly empathetic, he was like a little angel, always watching over each one of us. He died in his sleep at almost 12 years old, his heart too weak, he had given too much of himself. RIP, dear sweet Bubbas.

[@matty2686]

Boxers are just big babies. It’s so easy to hurt their feelings, always have to be sweet to them.💕

[@lyndakoers1389]

I have a brindle Boxer/Boston Terrier mix. She is the best ever!!!. Smart, gentle and likes everyone and all other dogs. When we go walking, other dogs bark at her, and she looks at them, and never barks back. Love her to death. Playful, loving and your description of a boxer is right on.

[@grandma460]

Where did you get her from?

[@DogsWiz]

How intelligent, alert, and fearless is your Boxer? Let us know in the comments!

[@echofury5902]

[@g-roc44]

My boxer is very smart able to pick up toys by name when I ask for a certain toy. Also get mischievous like a child he is always exploring or getting into things lol

[@rhysowen5475]

My boxer is so silly, he is his own person, the most stupid dog in the world but I love him

[@earthmuffin28]

My boxer is absolutely fearless and almost gave his life 3 weeks ago protecting my 3 young grandsons from a buck in rut! He took a horrible beating and lost an eye, but kept the buck off the boys. He's on the mend and we owe him everything!

[@theleorawelch]

Just got a little boxer/pit mix from the local shelter & I’m LOVING her!

[@Rocadog]

It is impossible to be bored with a boxer. Always affectionate, positive, playful, lively.. Amazing breed

[@SVTJD]

My boxer was super smart and super loyal, she was fearless with everything she did. She lived 13 years and it’s been almost 5 years since she passed and I think about her almost every day still. She was amazing, she will always have a piece of my heart

[@kennethrichmond9527]

They rather spend time with people then their own kind . Hearts of gold

[@auburnman6969]

I have 3 Brindle Boxers myself. I absolutely love the breed. My grandparents always had two at a time, a male and female from the same litter. They had probably 5 different sets throughout their lives. They turned me on to them too. I’ve had a total of 6 so far. Best breed ever!

[@crystaljasmine4292]

My pure bred boxer since I had from a pup lived 12 years the best companion I ever had these dogs are so so beautiful so silly so gentle just perfect dogs. I will forever be a boxer momma.

[@cjsansoo7]

I had a Boxer named Sassy. So was so protective / jealous of me that she would attack any other dog that I petted. She was such a wonderful pet. Best dog I ever had!!!

[@tinamcelroy3043]

Love Boxers!!!!! We just adopted our 4th Boxer about a month ago. All my other Boxers have past away and we just had to have another. Absolutely awesome breed for the adults and the kids!

I miss my Boxer Pup Tucker. He was 10 when he died of cancer on Jan. 5th of this year. I miss him so much.

[@thehelmet7857]

My boxer is 80 lbs, so very big boy. He is 10 years old and still loves running and playing. He's a such a good boy. These dogs really do stay puppies for a long time.

[@sualau1]

I love my boxer so much I can't even describe. He is now 9 months oldo, and it all passed so fast. I live near the beach and he's already fixed in his mind that there is no walk if it wasn't by the beach, when he digs inexistent treasure only he can smell. We named him Tuco, after the funny character played by Eli Wallach in The Good The Ugly The Bad. My Tuco is just as funny, cunning and cutely glumsy as Eli's Tuco. It takes a lot of time "educating" and taking care of him, but it is totally worth it.

[@kylehuxted5025]

You REALLY have to watch out with boxers... if you get your face too close to theirs, they will NOT stop kissing you.

[@tiggytigergaming2596]

My boxer is the biiiiiigest chicken, she's really friendly and cute but if u go to pet her she'll run away. Ontop of that she's really scared of the cat and will cry for hours at it until it moves or u help her walk past the kitty

[@burrito_pogboy2254]

My boxer has a different personality she’s more of an outsider than a insider she’s old turning 9 but she’s very athletic, she has an aggressive attitude with other dogs she barks a lot constantly almost all the time she’s friendly with family but prefers my parents than me and my brothers as this video said that boxers love children, my parents don’t really come around them much but still, I pet my dogs almost every day..

[@nancycowan7082]

You are right, boxers are so very protective, loving, smart, and do love their humans nd treats!😀💝

They are dangerous. My boxer was a really sweet good boy, but on several occasions he got between my wife or children and trouble. There is nothing wrong with being dangerous in the right time and place.

[@PauloR2T]

@@donc2446 They really are not, there's a difference between a "dangerous" breed and a guarding dog. My boxer barks at strange noises but he would never attack somebody... Hell, he would greet a fucking house thief, I'm pretty sure

Way less dangerous than pitbulls

Boxers are awesome! I had my Zoe 13 years, when my son was born that was her boy, she was inseparable from him, anywhere he was she was and as he got older she would choose to sleep with him no matter what, an amazing dog that gave me and my family 13 years of happiness and despite what a lot of people think they respond well to training and like it, they love to be praised for anything they do, makes training very easy and fun!

[@Dewoy1]

My grandparents used to breed and train them very succsesfully. I played with the pups in the breeding box when i was little. So when i say i grew up with them, i mean it. And they are absolutely fantastic! I had multiple ones myself and they gonna own your heart even if you´re a cat person in no time.

[@I_AM_NUM_3]

When I was a kid, my older sister was attacked by her "best friend's" Boxer, and cause damage to her face. The family had to put the dog down. Since then my Mom and Dad banned Boxers from our house. I know that the dog was raised like that, so I blame that family, not the dog. I love all dogs no matter shape, size, or breed. I know I will start fostering dogs when I get my own place.

[@mrRandomvideos1]

must of came from a really shitty owner man, boxers are really loving by nature, i lived in a small village when i was a kid and there was a boxer dog and a golden retriever who used to roam the village, they used to come to my door and ask me out to play they were so intelligent as a kid it was magical, i used to literally roam around this village with these dogs just chilling and having races ect, good times.

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

As a multi boxers hooman I would add... Boxers need lots of toys.... We rescued one abused boxer who had never been given toys before and she had worn down her teeth ( by the time she was 2 years old ) pretty badly from playing with rocks... It took a couple of months but we got her to ultimately give up rocks in exchange for squeaky toys and plastic balls. Her favorite became a vibrating, light up ball and she would sing by making a hilarious trilling noise when she played with it.

[@JBwatches]

For my 40th birthday my girlfriend gave me a puppy.posted in my profile pic wearing a Birthday cap. Awesome loving and loyal companion. I lost him june 2nd last month at 8 years old.

My girl is very popular around the neighborhood; everyone knows her and most people make a point of stopping to say hello to her. I don't know why she picked me, but I am loving every minute of our life together. Some people thought I was crazy for getting a boxer but doing so was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I always wanted a dog, at 57yrs I had never had a dog in my life. We got Millie, a faun black nose boxer, she had the most amazing brown eyes and was a beautiful specimen with many compliments coming her way when we were out walking. She seemed to be a gentle old soul from the get go, intelligent, funny and incredibly loyal. I hadn't actually given much thought as to how I might react when she passed, just enjoying and loving our time with her. I was shocked at the devastation I felt after losing her, my heart was broken, no one could have told me how I would be affected. She was 11 and a half years old and passed last November, missing her terribly still.

My 5th boxer. Our first one my parents had before I was born. He shielded me away from a treesnake(South African - boomslang) highly venomous when I was about 5 years old.

My aunt's boxer was the nicest dog I ever had the pleasure of taking for a walk. A slight tug on the leash was enough to get her to stop and she never pulled me along. However if a rabbit is in the area, she'd lose her mind, "rabbit, rabbit! Chase, chase!" She would do her best to escape and chase it, and I had to use all my strength to hold her back. Once the rabbit was out of sight and she couldn't follow the scent, she'd calm down and revert to her typically chill self.

They are extremely protective of children. We have a 4 year old son and our boxer puppy is 6 months going on 7 months but anytime anyone will play with our son and make him scream/laugh loudly our pup will lunge at the person to make sure our son it okay. She loves kids and will normally try to go say hi to them and pull us but when we bring our son she ignores all the kids and puts her full attention to our son. She is extremely playful too which does get a little scary for our son since she’s so large for her age and he’s still little but she’s slowly getting the hang of realizing she’s a big girl. They are great dogs our first larger breed dog/puppy as a family and I wouldn’t trade her for anything ❤️

I have a black boxer who literally follows me everywhere i go, he is the best boxer ever and he is very protective over me and my husband.

I love boxer dogs this video is a good little In sight to them they are such cuties🐶😍

[@smokinmnpurps]

I've had 3 boxers in my life so far and I really want to get a 4th once I'm in a better living situation I'm definitely going to get another one! I've had Pit bulls and a Mastiff all have been great dogs and would get another pit in the future possibly as well my mastiff was amazing he was a good boy and lived to be 14 but even though he was a runt and only grew to about 125lbs I don't want a dog that big again. There's just something about the boxers energy that makes me love them like crazy.

I've owned many breeds but my boxer brat is my favorite furever friend.

i grew up with a boxer in my house, he died at 14 and it wasn’t even old age so they tend to live pretty long if they have no health issues! my boxer was amazing, no doubt one of the best breeds out there. they are extremely smart, energetic, protective, friendly, and caring dogs. my dog, Laulo (Law-low), was a rescue and cared for our family so much, he would sacrifice his life for us or anyone he knew we trusted! for example when i was still in preschool my mom would always take him in the car to drop me off. he always had to see me off and make sure i made it to school okay. the one day my mom decided not to bring him he actually managed to use his paws and open our door! he had memorized the way to my school from all the car rides and ran all the way over and into the playground to find me. the staff were asking who’s dog it was and no one believed me when i said he was mine! they tried to call the pound to get him but he was too speedy and wouldn’t let them close lol. eventually they called my mom and she verified it was our dog then took him home. I always love that story so much cause it just shows how amazing of a dog he was :) so intelligent and loyal, so glad i got to grow up with him.

[@ninac9294]

im gonna add to proving how amazing of a breed they are lol. despite my dogs bad background as a rescue, he was always friendly to people. in the time we had him i’d barely heard him growl or bark. every once and a while he would stare out the window and growl if he saw someone coming up to our door he didn’t recognize but that’s about it! he was always friendly with other dogs, never attacked them unless he was attacked first, he loved people and kids, he didn’t even mind cats. he would always go try and play with our neighbors cats but they didn’t like him very much lmao. we would take him to the beach which he absolutely loved, he would run around and greet other dogs a lot but always stayed in our sight. he didn’t like toys all that much and didn’t really understand the concept of fetch but loved chasing snowballs and being confused at where they went when they break on the ground. such perfect goofy dog 🥰

[@ninac9294]

one more story lol, i have no one else to tell these to so i hope if anyone’s thinking about getting a boxer these stories will help solidify your answer! one of my moms old friends used to have 2 pitbulls, one of them was named butch, he was blind and deaf! when we were out visiting my grandparents (who live in the middle of nowhere) we decided to bring my moms friends along so the dogs came too. Butch had managed to wander off and got lost, the house was surrounded by almost completely empty plains besides a few other houses. it was getting dark so we didn’t know what to do, we couldn’t find him, he couldn’t hear so we couldn’t call out for him, he couldn’t see us either so we had no idea what to do. all the sudden our dog, Laulo, left and after over half an hour he came back with butch trailing behind him. Laulo knew the area well so he went out and found butch, and then lead him all the way back to the house :)

Pretty spot-on. Our boxer is super affectionate. She literally holds you down to kiss you. They have so much energy and are extremely playful! She's a rescue and gets along with her rescue sister, who's an American Bulldog.... I would definitely recommend the Boxer breed!

[@Quietstorm_ATL]

I thought I was loyal to the APBT breed until I got my first Boxer three years ago in the middle of COVID. She is absolutely amazing! I definitely agree about them having long puppyhoods! She’s 70lbs and laying on top of me as type this comment 😂 They are such entertaining, playful, sensitive, protective, and loving dogs!

[@lovebug6477]

I have a boxer and American bulldog mix. I'm a first time dog owner, I love my Luna ❤️❤️❤️

[@katieevans4008]

I have two boxers and they are 3,9 but i love them so much

[@derekyoung8312]

Awesome breed. My Odie was the life of the party at the dog park. He was extremely good with are kids. Unfortunately his life was cut short due to brain cancer at five years old. Miss my little boy.

[@bendees555]

when training my boxer I got good results with food. but like they said this dog runs a little hot, so I got some amazing results when I started using water as a reward... her recall sucked when she just got food, but when she knew she was gonna get a drink, shoo wee she couldnt come fast enough. Water was a game changer for our training.

[@scorchedy8593]

As a boxer owner they do stand on their back legs and box

[@joanwood9480]

We had a boxer when I was young. My father was playing with her and she was definitely "boxing"

[@chico6643]

I miss my kiki and pigro so much! They were there when I was born and through my childhood and pigro actually lived a lot Even as an old and weaker dog he was an awesome partner

[@nizella4967]

We recently adopted a boxer from a shelter, following our history of shelter dogs and we found out that her previous owner was extremely ill and probably never got to socialise her nor even show her much of the outside world. She's 3 and a giant scardy-cat. We've had her for almost a year now, at first she was terrified of us and anything that moved but now, with a lot of patience and persistence, she's the most loving dog!! Still scared of strangers, big cars and loud noises but throughout the year we've had her, she's made insane progress with getting better with these things and luckily our neighbours are helpful with training and are always patient with her, too.
