oxers rank as the 7th most popular dog in the United States, according to the AKC. \u00a0It’s not surprising that these charming dogs rank so high. \u00a0They love children, are incredibly patient and make wonderful family members.<\/p>\n

Adding a Boxer To Your Family.\u00a0<\/strong>Boxers are wonderful family dogs. \u00a0They are happy dogs who love to play and romp and have a special affinity for children. \u00a0However, as with all breeds, you should know your dog breed’s ups and downs so you can make an informed decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boxers are full of personality a<\/strong>nd energy, making them ideal partners for families who love to play with their dog.<\/strong>\u00a0However, if not channeled properly or given training at an early age, this personality and energy can be overwhelming, especially for smaller children. \u00a0Boxers need playtime at the park, long walks and lots of interaction and consistent training. This is not a ‘once a day walk’ kind of dog.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Boxers can have some hygiene traits that some folks may find less than savory.<\/strong> \u00a0Boxers drool more than some other breeds. \u00a0Your Boxer dog will want to give you kisses and snuggles. \u00a0Carrying a cloth handkerchief may save your cheeks from excessive slobber. \u00a0Boxers also have a tendency to snore and some of them suffer from excess gas. \u00a0Feeding your Boxer a high quality diet can drastically improve the gas, but as a breed, they are prone to it.<\/p>\n

Boxers mature later than some other dogs<\/strong>, often not really maturing until 4 or 5 years old. \u00a0Their bodies will be big (around 70 pounds at maturity) but they will be young at heart. \u00a0Proper training, socialization and exercise will go a long way towards\u00a0<\/span>making your Boxer a good citizen. \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

All purebred dogs have certain health problems that are specific to their breed. \u00a0Make sure you know what your breed might be prone to. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Best Food for Boxers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you’re already the proud parent of a Boxer or you are brand new to the Boxer world, congratulations! \u00a0You already know\u00a0the incredible love and affection you can get from having a Boxer in your family. <\/span><\/p>\n

Boxers\u00a0often suffer\u00a0from excess gas or skin ailments, as well as having high rates of\u00a0cancer.\u00a0 The best prevention for all of these is a healthy diet.\u00a0\u00a0The best food for your Boxer will be one with no , no artificial flavors or colors and one that uses high quality ingredients.\u00a0 \u00a0Consider looking into alternative protein sources such as game meats for your dog and\u00a0 change your dog’s diet on a regular basis to prevent future problems.\u00a0 Starting on a high quality food right from the start will give your Boxer the best chance at a long, healthy life.<\/span><\/p>\n
