Dogumentary TV sits down with Boxer breed enthusiast Kathy Ochs, to talk about this amazing dog breed.
A well-made Boxer in peak condition is an awesome sight. A male can stand as high as 25 inches at the shoulder; females run smaller. Their muscles ripple beneath a short, tight-fitting coat. The dark brown eyes and wrinkled forehead give the face an alert, curious look. The coat can be fawn or brindle, with white markings. Boxers move like the athletes they are named for: smooth and graceful, with a powerful forward thrust.
Boxers are upbeat and playful. Their patience and protective nature have earned them a reputation as a great dog with children. They take the jobs of watchdog and family guardian seriously and will meet threats fearlessly. Boxers do best when exposed to a lot of people and other animals in early puppyhood.
Having owned Boxers for over forty years, the only thing that was forgot to be mentioned was their capacity to spontaneously learn to communicate their wants to you. They literally develop their own, accurate dog/human language better than any other dog. Each of my dogs quickly learned, in different ways, to convey exactly what they want, even using facial expressions which only Boxer owners will understand, how many other dogs literally smile when they're happy?
My Bullseye always smiles at me and we can tell when we make him upset😂😂my other 2 boxers as well
My Ruby would squint and stare at me for hours while working in the yard. Since then the rabbits have grown confident. Rip.
So very true. They are very expressive and communicative each in their own way. LOVE Boxers the most!
Bulldogs are great communicaters. I have never known any other breed like them. They are brilliant.
Frenchies
I had a boxer for 12 years he just died last month I got him when I was 5 and he died on the day I graduated high school he was so smart and always wanted to please you and they’re great with kids I will miss u forever pal ❤️
Sorry you lost your pal. Greatest dog ever, I've had several and will only have boxers.
Sorry about your loss. I have two and they’re both almost 8. I dread that day they’re gone :(
Sorry to hear that, I've had two female boxers (red) greatest breed in my humble opinion beautiful dogs.
I have had a couple of boxers and best dogs. Made as a box of frogs and also very stubborn. Sorry for your loss
Jamir Black Aw, I have a similar story. Best family dog ever.
My first Boxer was a gift from heaven. His owner had passed away and through a friend I agreed to take him into my family. He was the most well behaved loving boy and he stole my heart. He was excellent with big and small kids.He was such a blessing to my family. Boxers now own my heart.
What happened to him
Boxers are just more comical than Shepards. Protective and professional but can cut loose and have a damn good time. They love to make you laugh and ask wtf?.
Very true
I've owned many different dog breeds throughout my 44yrs, none have made me laugh as much as my boxer. Yes, they have the most amazing WTF face ever. Their expressions are second human lol. How they can instantly turn all chicken shit over the silliest, and most inanimate objects is fall on floor laughing.
Dustin Dodson they were not talking about herding skills 🙄
@@briefcaseblues6061 so true. Mine makes these weird noises and talks a lot. Like he has a different vocab and sound for every answer. They are so goofy and protective at the same time. You gotta love them
My Boxer dog loved the local female GSDs !
Boxers are amazing with kids!
Boxers are the absolute BEST dogs. Their personalities are larger than this world.
I am 67 years old and have had Boxers my whole life. And will always will. All of my children were raised with them. They helped my children and grandkids learn to walk and always protect them and LOVE them. My Boxes are my best friend's and I still LOVE 💖 all of them very much and always will.
Boxers = the most loveable, dopey, yet smartest, friendly pooch you'll ever encounter. I grew up on them and they are the greatest dog to ever walk this earth
My boxer passed away back in Sept. My Sonny boy, was my best friend & aGREAT DOG!! I MISS HIM SO MUCH, I can't stand it!! He was 11/1/2 yrs old. He was a big gentle giant.. he has to be one of the best dogs I ever owned. 💙🐾🐾💔😥
My boxers name is sonny. :( he’s 2 1/2 yrs old.
I do hope you have gotten another boxer to heal your broken heart❤
My boxer used to Sence when my young son was going to have an epileptic seizure and model her breathing so he would copy her breathing rhythm , ultimately getting breathing again more calmly.
That's incredible 💞
Rose B Hmm, Boxers can be epileptic too right?
@@bigfel3240 yes I'm sure they can be?
@@bigfel3240 yes, they can. When i was a little kid my family owned one who developed epileptic crises
I had two boxers when I was a child, Patches could sense when Babe would have seizures, unfortunately they both passed away by seizures as they were back yard bred.
I like that you removed the "on KZhead" part from your intro because you really do make the best docs anywhere, not just on this site
TS RF fyyt rtfs f is FDA FB
@@keeprush4732 🤨🤬
Boxers take your heart and run with it, I love them to the moon and back and they return that love tenfold!
I had to say bye to my 14-year-old girl on May 7th, 2019. I laid with her as we said our goodbyes. I cried so hard. Best friend and a great service dog. I love and miss you, Chloe. RIP Crush, Casper, Chloe, and my awesome Dad. I love and miss you all.
That’s so sad we had to say good bye to our red nose pit in 2019 my brother laid with him all night bottle feeding him water and when we woke up he was gone
wow 14 - that's awesome...
@@fifthavenuegirl Truly. Casper made it 12+. Head seizures. Crush 8 1/2. Cushing's disease. Chloe was losing the use of her hind legs and cancer. Three of the most loving, amazing, family dogs. RIP Crush, Casper, Chloe, and my awesome Dad. I love and miss you all.
Best dogs in the world. Smart, loyal, obedient, protective, fun...just the best !
A year ago I adopted two 6 year old boxer sisters (littermates). They’re such happy sweethearts, they’re good to stray cats and my chickens, adore my daughter, and are awesome hiking buddies. They have the biggest hearts and really help me keep going in this world.
I'm on my 3rd boxer now and can't live without a boxer in my life , they are without a doubt imo the best family breed (as long as you like clowns and high energy breeds)
Buck Moody mine lazy af
I'm on my 3rd as well. Love them! Goof balls. Very smart.
And if you can live with random farting from your boxer, and super wet kisses ....after awhile you grow to love it from your boxer, few dogs can match them in a combination of affection,loyalty and protective instincts
Hi I have a 5 year old at home and I would like to get a boxer you think that’s a good choice And how are boxers as guard dogs do they get scared easy or they ready to protect the house?
@@theluckyguy763 I'm very late but imo, they're perfect for young kids. they're extremely protective so they'll stick to that kid and protect it with their lives
I have two 12 year old Boxers and they're still going strong! I know their time is almost up because of their life expectancy but we've taken really good care of em really good. The only difference now than a few years ago is that they're a little more sleepy 😴 we also have another one that's 4 years old and he's hilarious😂i love em all
your older boxers still good? Mine just passed yesterday at 12 years 8 months. I miss her so much. 💔
@@shaunrasmussen5886 sorry for your loss they really are apart of the family. I buried one 2 days before I left for the Air Force but my family took in a German Sheppard in his place because it resembled our old boxer so much.
So nice to see Boxers with undocked tails.
I agree SO MUCH there's just no cutter puppy than a boxer puppy! The shape of their head, the big eyes and floppy ears are just irresistible
the boxers were in my family before I was born and it was pure luck, I'm so grateful to be able to grow up with these dogs, now I still have these gorgeous guys and it gives me pure joie de vivre and happiness.
get a Boxer dog and you'll never live without one for the rest of your life . They are the funniest, most loyal, loving dogs I've ever owned .
Pit bulls beats them hands down when it comes to loyalty no breeds comes close
So are American pitbulls, same ancestor.
Boxers since '92 in the family, they're the best of all.
Who else owns a boxer dog
What you said boxes and not boxer
Two wonderful pups!
Meee
@@iamjessicalauren1 my fault auto correct screws me over thanks for telling me tho
I own a pit box she’s amazing
Boxers are great dogs I had one he was an amazing dog def a clown but strong loving dog will always miss him
We got our first boxer a little over 13 years ago. The first six months we had her I swore I would never get another boxer. I just wasn’t prepared for such a stubborn & intelligent/mischievous puppy. After that initial six months, I swore I would never not have a boxer. She died in early December and we have since gotten to new boxer puppies. They came from two different breeders, but they bonded with each other and with us instantly. Like their big sister, they never met, these two have stolen our hearts.
My moms boxer just met my chihuahua for the first time and i was a little nervous but he was so patient and gentle with her 💕💕
Boxers are gorgeous dogs! I like the working line ones the best. With their athletic build and want to work, working boxers are 10/10!
@@clownanaround7996 I'm sure some non-working line boxers have the drive to work but it is not as common, steady or reliable as those of the working type. As for the athletic build, some show breeders are beginning to move away from this type of dog.
Her dogs are stunning wow, and I love the intact ears and tails! Awesome video 😊
you should see my boy boris hes white with a patch over his eye
I'm in love with boxers. The cutest face, strong and smart. I just love them...
The physical differences between working and show boxers is crazy
The Wife and I are on our 4th pair of Boxers. I've had them since I was a kid and when I told my new Wife we were getting a Boxer pup she said it would be my job and my job alone to care for it. That lasted for all of a few seconds....when our new pup came trotting across the living room and into Her lap it was all over but the Loving. She now see's why I love Boxers so much and like me She can't imagine not having a couple of Boxers in Her life.
Just lost our second white boxer Annabelle to cancerShe was 10.Our other white was Bart.who was an albino white who was deaf and passed at 14.There is a special bond with this breed as they are so human like with the way they interact with family’s.There is a huge hole in my heart today as tears fall for my baby but she is across the golden bridge running free❤️❤️❣️❤️
We have always had Boxers and GSD at the same time. Hysterical to watch them play!
I have a boxer, he’s 2 years old x he is very stubborn but the most protective loving dog ever x
My boxer is 8 months old. He is sooo stubborn too! He has so much energy it’s crazy. And going for walks with him is so hard.
Love to see working dogs work. Versatility is certainly a bonus
Great video & beautiful dogs. We LOVE our German Boxer- Tyson!
A fearsome warrior with the spirit of a child. My Rocky’s coat gleams as thoroughbred. He is tiger striped dark copper and black brindle and is the most handsome dog I’ve ever seen. About 75 lbs. He will bark a bit much but he’s only 19 months and still learning. They become more noble with maturity but never lose a bit of the puppy. His white chest marks look much as a map of the continent of Africa complete with Madagascar. We’ve had boxers for over thirty years, Rocky is our fourth, and cropped ears were the norm but I’m so used to Rocky’s flopping long ears now I love them as is but of course his tail is cropped. My wife calls him mister wiggles as he wags his whole body with joy.
Dogs only live with us a short while because they are born knowing already how to love.
That male is a specimen! Another one in the bag Zeke thank you man
I liked Irma "the girl" more.
You should see my lad. 85lbs at fifteen months and all of it muscle. There's not much loose skin aside from the usual area i.e: scruff. This is my second boxer and this one is really quick to learn, my first one was a stubborn bastard but I think that was mostly operator error :P
I like the fact that she is one of the few people that acknowledge that many things we hear about dog breeds are mythologies and stories created by the people. All the info (excuses) I hear from the english bulldog origins to backup his exaggerated and weird looks, for example, is quite amazing.....
the mastiff size though has to be part of the boxer. neither of the other two are big enough. i absolutely ADORE boxers. I have a 3 month old one now and she is an absolute treat.
Owned two boxers and will buy another one in the next year or two. Boxy was a clown built like a tank. He was agile, fast, loved children and his family (us). I remember when we were doing a remodeling on our backyard, boxy’s fun time was to steal any tool from the workers and run all over the yard stopping from time to time to challenge the workers to try and take the tool, as soon as they got close he would again pick up the tool and start the game all over.
I had 5 boxers in a row.
Cont. My thoughts boxers were the best my babies my friends my loves. We would have long conversations
I like all dogs, but Boxers have been my 3rd, 4rth and currently 5th and 6th dogs. They definitely are companions that can truly tell when you need them.
One of the first dogs i ever wanted
My boxer was the best thing that came out of my six year marriage. He has been a best friend and cuddle bug. He had a seizure two weeks ago. He is fine but found out he has an ear infection.
One of the best videos on this channel. She’s passionate and articulate in expressing her enthusiasm.
I had 2 boxers & a pit boxer mix my husband used to hunt wild boar. One day they were playing in the back yard w/my 2 1/2 yr old daughter, while I hung clothes. The dogs never left her side. We had a 6' fence around the backyard w/signs along the entire fence & Front door, "BEWARE OF DOGS! " I was hanging clothes w/my back turned from my daughter while 2 men were approaching the fence 2 tell me she looked like a little Shirley Temple Doll only she had white blonde hair, big baby blue eyes & the longest eyelashes ever continued 2 mention I had a beautiful daughter who had her mommas looks. Feeling un- comfortable I said thanks & told them I was busy & they should leave. Our dogs sensed tension & my fear I'm sure. They escorted my daughter closer & stood their ground 2 guard us, never ceasing 2 growl at the 2 men. Our dogs were never trained to be guard dogs. I saw and greatly appreciated this different side of them I'd never seen. It was nice 2 kno we were safe. Especially when one climbed over the fence trying 2 woo my daughter 2 come see him. The female pit/boxer mix grabbed her shirt,pulling my daughter back. The female boxer stayed next 2 me. Before we knew it our 85# boxer had the man faced down in the ground,the other one got attacked when he tried to reach through the fence was grabbed by the arms. My female boxer who stood by me & my daughter ran to get my cell phone, police were called & those 2 men were imprisoned 4 a long time. What surprised me is my dogs NEVER had guard dog classes. It must be ingrained when loved ones are in danger. I was so proud of our 4legged family members.😊😉🐶 I so much more appreciate ALL my dog & human family members.🏜
Just look how Attractive and Beautiful Those two European Boxer's are ! Why must Americans Butcher the ears and Tails of Their Animals ? I just do not get it and asking Breeders to supply whole Dogs and Not Mutilated/Butchered Animals would stop this Tragedy overnight ! Please Love Your Best and most Trusted Friend .
American boxers tails are cut off because there to heavy and affect there spine. Not for looks
It's becoming more common in the US for people to ask for boxers with natural tail and ears :) Hopefully one day that mutilation will be banned, if not just socially unacceptable.
I have Sub aortic stenosis! I had no idea boxers carry this birth defect. That makes me love my boxer even more
ch barr My positive energy towards you and your Heart. May God Bless You.
I had a Boxer for 10 years she pasted away and it totally broke my heart , she was my best friend we went everywhere and did everything together. If you seen me you seen my boxer, if you didn’t like dogs you didn’t see me I choose her and rather be with her then someone who didn’t like dogs. She was perfect listen so well never had to lease her she stayed at my side. I miss her so much everyday life is a reminder of her because we was always together. Love and miss my Roxie!

She does have some of best boxers I ever seen on line
I got 2 boxers there fun dogs to have around my kids love them
I love boxers they are the best
Thank you for producing and sharing this quality content!
Haha, thought she kept saying bullion baster. Then I realized what she meant. Bullenbeisser pronunciation = Bull-en-bye-sir That being said, overall Kathy is very well spoken and full of good information. Thanks for sharing.
I was waiting for someone to call that out also mispronounced schutzhund!
I love Boxers. I had 2 boxers. My Lillie passed from cancer complications. My current boxer Mila is doing great. I dont think I can ever have any other breed.
Same
I understand you, Hanna is my 5th boxer.
Same. Once a Boxer, always a Boxer!
Another enjoyable presentation. Very informative
That brindle dog is stunning
Yes bring us more dogumentaries I love this channel.
The brindle is beautiful ,looks like my pup...same wider muzzle, even flukes for less drool and better bite work....no cropping....nice!
Love your channel and your videos Zeke. Can't wait to see what you do next. Always informative and interesting. Great job
In 2003, one of my friends had a boxer which does not had this short muzzle. And it was bigger than the one shown in the video. It was a working dog I remember. He used to tell us that it was imported from Germany.
European boxer
More big then American boxers
I have an 11 month old Boxer mix puppy. She is beautiful and sweet anf loves everyone including other dogs. I am working on training her to be a service dog for me. Shr is very smart but I have 1 problem with her training....She gets so excited when shes around other people and dogs that she jumps with excitement. Any ideas on how to curb that habit? We've tried a few things and some work when she's getting the treats from the person coming in but as soon as they stop treating her she starts jumping again wanting more and the love.
Getting cuddly with a playful breed will not help. Love them but not to an extent of getting cuddly with them. Be gentle but assertive. Correct them even before they show that kind of behaviour. You can do this by reading their expressions and body language and before they even try to jump on people just start patting them in the neck part and command them to sit to calm them down. Take them to long walks twice a day if possible. I hope it will help.
My impression of boxers since 1957 was that their tails were docked? Find it hard to see the article featuring long tails.
Boxers are the first breed I fell in love with! We had an amazing one when I was a kid in the 80’s. She was a fantastic family dog and a typical boxer in that she was very playful and loving, but unlike some boxers of today, she took her job as watchdog and guardian very seriously. I still miss her. Also, the bull terrier came along much later than the original boxer stock did. I think she is making up her own fantasies. Wow. Lmao I have never heard anyone say the boxer has bull terrier in it. That is some dangerous misinformation right there.
She was so professional..very good video...
Thank you for your service ma’am
Another amazing video Thank you
You Don't Own Boxers They own YOU You become OBSESSED 😍
Please make a video about service dogs! You are a dog channel and a special video featuring some service dogs would be amazing!
Wish she left her phone no
awesome video, great breed, so versatile
So interesting because I was only saying recently that you can see the similarities between boxers and American bulldogs. My boxer also will take a stalking or hunting stance when she sees birds etc
I have been into boxers since 1989. I have had about 13 now. Had all types: show quality, pet quality, misfit old ones/sick ones, behavior problems. They are so awesome. They are very sensitive dogs. I only have one now - her buddy passed away over a year ago. He was 13 yo. She's 10 now. Delilah was 12 and the ones before didn't live as long - 6 to 9 yo. I'm my dog's dog, lol. I would protect them with my life.
I had a boxer who developed degenerative miopathy. It started with him dragging his left rear paw . It quickly and aggressively took his hind legs from him. Within 8 months of first noticing it we had to put him down. That was 3 years ago. I still grieve for him. He was my very best friend ever. So much love was in that boy. My life was forever changed because of him and all he gave to me. I feel blessed for having had him. Rossco was his name. He was here for 11 years.
❤
Miss my old boxer Ick such a good dog. He had it all love to play, super intelligent and would give protection he didn't even like play fighting and would break it up without hurting anyone.
Best specimen of a boxer I've seen . Zeke you did again!
I have a 6 yr male brindle who looks like the female in the film, but with 4 white feet. Happy to see natural ears and tail. Mine has a short tail.
Just lost my Lilly. Beautiful brindle with white chest. She had a happy wonderful life with me, I took her every where I went. Made it 13 years of age before I reluctantly had to put her down. She had become unable to use her back legs anymore. We carried on the best we could for most of a year but it all became just to painful to watch the slow degeneration. As soon as I quit working I intend to get another Boxer. Boxers are absolutely the best breed ever.
Thanks for this informative and interesting video. Before Rottweilers I had Boxers. They are wonderful dogs and I agree with everything said here about them.
Do you prefer boxers over Rottweilers? And why?
Lots of cancer in boxers :( Hopefully good breeders will work this out.
AB yes sad I lost mine at 5 out of nowhere
@@jackm4307 I'm sorry to hear that.
Jack M could have been heart problems, some dogs die of it at 5-6 years old
Some breeders have
Edgy Famas14 it was cancer started in the leg and spread through the lymphs
They are not the family dog. They are another family member. If you can’t commit to that, don’t get a Boxer. We’ve had five Boxers already. Two are still with us. But they are loyal and funny and protective of their family. Kaiser, Duke and Brutus… we miss you every single day.
Thank you very much Very informative
Please do another video on Boxers
I had a Female White American Boxer who was 69lbs and lived to be the age of 12.5 years. She passed on her own with Us by her side. Aside from a few skin tags and later dementia, she lived an extremely healthy life. Raw food was the secret to the last years of her life. She never looked old or had seemed to have issues being a silly boxer. She also got a lot of exercise. I also had an AKC registered Female fawn 50 lbs who was diagnosed at the age of 7 with DM. She was in a wheelchair and lived to the age of 10. I just got a little Male puppy who is the light of my life. I couldn't imagine life without one. I do hope that we figure out how to make this breed last. The older they get the wiser they become. Thanks for doing this work!
Boxers are the best. They are super smart, easy to train, loving and friendly, but can be fearless and protective when they know they need to be.
I 😊really enjoyed your video. Thanks
I love boxers 😁😁 They are the best
I love em so much. We had a beautyfull BOXER rhat i miss soooo much in my childhood from Sweden. He was born in 1972 in june and took cere of me at the same age
Second service dog… boxers are the best!! I love them so much!!!
Nobody ever talks about the funny the reaction they have to there own farts
Dude love your videos so honest and informative @AKC should get you working on their meet the breed. Best of luck in the future
Very interesting what you have said about the begining of the breed. I have only saw in the USA other dogs having the same carachteristics as your dogs on a place called Von Bachbett. You probably know. They also have wonderful dogs just like yours. Very seldom we see people willing to breed Boxers having the kind of approach you have. I wish you success from the bottom of my heart. May God keep them away from the bigest health problem they use to have which is cancer... By the way, they are for sure, the best dogs in the planet and probably in the whole solar system! Greetings from Brazil, Mrs. Ochs.
Boxers were the first dogs trained for police work. Greatest breed ever and incredibly good with children. My oldest boxer aged to 14yrs old, I've never heard of one living as long as she's claiming. I've owned boxers for 28 years myself but have been around them my entire life.
When they learn gurding? I mean protective behaviour for his owner ? In which age?
@@animeshbeladiya5470 it’s always there, but it gets more apparent as they age.
Jackson lived to be 17 years. I miss him every day.
I got a BENTLEY Same color & Markings! Excellent breed.
It's funny how she says the breed's origin is made up and then She has her own Guess that she made up. 🤔
Robert Forester people love to believe what they think is right lol crazy !
The breed’s studbook goes back to a Bulldog imported from the UK
Yeah she lost me there. She describes their body as a bull terrier body and their head in between bull terrier and bulldog. Does she even have eyes?
@@victoriandogtrainingacadem5814 not argueing one way or another, but i have a working type American bulldog crossed with a Staffordshire bull terrier (both breeds are very similar in looks to the two breeds she believes made up the Boxer) and as a pup everyone thought he was a boxer. as he's got bigger he looks less so, but still very much like a boxer just a bit heavy set.
funny enough he also likes to box with his front paws
My first boxer was 22 years ago. I have labs and shepherd mix lab, but boxer's are my best dog I will ever really want in my home. I just fell in love with the breed and they have never disappointed me. There loving genital way with little babies and others are great.
Still great video and some real beautiful dogs
Well done description.
I own a Pitboxer. Half pitbull half boxer. She behaves like a pit but has this goofy, loveable, and mischievous side to her that is super endearing. Love my baby
Love boxers
Where can I follow Kathy and her working dogs?
Great video informative Kathy
Wow you have Alano Español too! thats my dream dog.
