| Description: The Boxer is a medium-sized, square built dog of good substance with short back, strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat. He should have a broad, blunt muzzle and an expression of alertness. He should have a fenced yard to roam in, but will do in a city environment if walked daily. The Boxer is considered a "people dog" adapting well to other dogs and children. He should never be aggressive, but rather even-tempered, but does make a good guard dog. |
Health: *Major Concerns: cardiomyopathy, SAS, CHD *Minor Concerns: gastric torsion, tumors, intervertebral disc degeneration, corneal erosion, colitis *Occasionally seen: None *Suggested tests: cardiac, hip |
| Temperment: The Boxer is a playful, exuberant, inquisitive, attentive, demonstrative, devoted, and outgoing; it is a perfect companion for an active family. It can be stubborn, but it is sensitive and responsive to commands. It may be aggressive toward strange dogs, but generally good with other household dogs and pets. |
