Want A Great Family Dog?
by: Amy Howells
A breed of dog called a Boxer
is very family-oriented and they always love to be around
people. Treat them as
family members. Never underestimate their need for human
companionship, which is the most notable trait of this
breed.
The Boxer is happiest when it is with people. Its whole
pelvis moves when a Boxer wags its tail in delight and
exhilaration. It can adapt to any environment as long as it is
with people.
They love being with their "families" and don't like to be
alone. Include them in your gatherings when company is
around.
They love to be your shadow. Boxers are intelligent and are
quite capable of participating in many family adventures.
Boxer dogs are like humans and they need lots of love to feel
like a part of the family.
Accept them for what they are and give them time to show how
loyal they can be. They are very sensitive animals too so never
hit them.
Boxers are gentle with children. Boxers love to play and are
always ready for a romp or game, "...so make sure you have
kids," said one owner.
Introduce the Boxer to the children early, as this will bond
the Boxer and child together and help prevent jealousy from
either one. You will find the Boxer will be more protective
towards that child it grew up with as well.
Some owners found their Boxers love to be around children more
than adults.
They are good-natured, accept friendly strangers and will
calmly suffer the pokes and prods of children.
Boxers are also accepting toward other family pets.
One owner said: "My girl Boxer is wonderful to my daughter’s
little half-rat terrier puppy. She lets the very hyper puppy do
whatever to her and they even sleep together."
