What do you initially think of when you read those words above? Let us guess. You probably thought of a medium-sized dog with huge muscles, and a big face. And to most people, that picture is a bit scary. Yes they are a bit intimidating but beyond that face, Boxers can be such darlings. This is probably why a lot of Americans consider Boxer Dogs, a great family pet.
If you find it a bit hard to believe, here are some of their best characteristics that you are bound to love.
- They are loyal to their masters. Once your dog has identified himself to belong in a family or pack, they will do almost everything to protect and love them.
- Boxers are also good watchdogs. Even if they are good natured and generally friendly they can be a bit wary during encounters with strangers. So they may bark a bit and even show some teeth if they feel that his family is threatened.
- They are intelligent. They respond well to obedience training and they can easily pick up non verbal cues. Owners consider Boxer Dogs, a great family pet because they seem to know when to keep quiet, and when to ask you to play.
- Last, but most importantly not the least, Boxer Dogs blend well with humans and other pets especially if they were raised together. It may be a bit weird for a dog their size and intimidating features but believe it or not, they are one of the few who appreciates companionship and friendship.
