Boxers are simply the absolute best in everything - I would never ever have any other breed although so many of our friends have all kind of different dogs and all of them are loveable. For us there's only one and that's this energetic, loveable goofball! Our little rascal adopted us at the age of 3 months and lived to be almost 15 yrs, was our companion in good and bad days and the synonym for love, loyalty and empathy. We were extremely lucky as only the last 2 years were a bit difficult and we let him go to the rainbow bridge last year. We will never forget Bud-Bud, he was our soulmate and will be our last one - R.I.P. little boy and thank you for all the love and joy you brought to our lives.
Best dogbreed ever. They have anything I want in a dog: great with children and other animals, funny, playful (their basically puppy’s their entire life😋) so loving, smart and very trainable. They’re basically big lapdogs (with ADHD😂) but at the same time very powerful and protective when needed
I like this I've always wanted a boxer breed since the movie Sinbad came out
You said it all at "their lapdogs with ADHD" LMBO!!! We just had to put one down due to cancer and now got a brother and sister :) Their 8 months and very hiper!!! Good ol dogs tho!
"lapdogs with ADHD" couldn't describe boxers any better :D
My 5 yr old male has all of the sudden out of nowhere turned super hyper aggressive when encountering other large breed dogs. Was never like that before, gets plenty of attention and 2-3 walks a day, don't know what changed in him. That and he's trying to go after cats like his life depends on it, when before he would just watch them walk by. Trying to think of what to do.
@@KayaGra yep. Toddlers that never grow up ❤
I've lived 67 years so far and am I'm on my 6th and 7th consecutive boxer and I've never heard or talked to anyone that dislikes the boxer. They say a dog is man's best friend and owning a boxer will prove that over and over and time after time again.
Our first Boxer was a German/English Boxer mix. He was 9 when he gave his life to protect me form a Pittbull who attacked me. He was the first of our now 3 Boxer children. Never together though.
I have owned five boxers in my lifetime. And with the help of my family, I'll own a sixth. My family will be taking on the physical requirements where is I will take on the at home training. Boxers are incredible dogs. The best family dogs ever. There's a reason why those who have had boxers in the past swear to only stick with that breed. They are that fantastic.
Ah I've owned boxers and other breeds after. I could never forget about Boreboel's. Great breed as well. And as far as loyalty goes the most loyal dog I've ever had was an Akita, oldest living dog I've ever owned as well lived to be 17.
Two of the most important things to remember are they boxers need a lot of physical activity. They are ok for apartment but you need to make sure they get an hour of daily running/ working out at least. Second is that they don't like being alone at home. Don't leave boxers alone at home for hours every day, they'll be miserable and become destructive. I had a boxer who lived 13 years.
Totally disagree with your statement. I don't disagree with your possible experience. One of the most adaptive dogs I ever encounter.
@@outreachteam3537 you disagree with what? That they need exercise or that they don't like being alone?
@@MsBlonde0000 …who likes to be alone? And who doesn’t like to be out for a walk? Same with the dogs…I had 3 boxers and now my father has one. My beloved Gilza lived until 11. Hope to see all of them once my time comes…
had boxers all my life basically and no they dont like being alone but if you train them right you can leave them i go to work and my boy just sleeps hes never been destructive they do need their hour of excercise a day tho
@@full-metal-barry5812 yep sleep and look out the window.
I just love this breed sooooo much. I want one but i am not in a position to have a dog right now. All i can do is admire them from a distance.

My boxer was 13 years old and very active loving caring protective before she was hit in my drive way I miss Makayla
Our "Oli" is 13 yrs now, just lost his hearing recently, but when awake he is just like the puppy he once was. I have to boost him a bit to get into the pickup truck, but he won't let me leave without him, if I do he'll be right at the front door to give me the 'Hello Dance" Greatest dogs ever1
Amo meu Boxer!!! Melhores cães para se ter!!
Best dog ever! Except one....... not too many people know about the golden boxer...... you guessed it..... retriever and boxer..... I am on my second one and they are a perfect species
I will always love “Danny”, CH. Amity Hall’s Master Key, my buddy who passed away in 1964! He was a very famous show boxer and a sweet friend!
A few years Ago I was running in an ally (conditioning physically) and I came across an aggressive boxer . He was behind a gate but he was pissed off I was there . So him and I got into an argument because he pissed me off too . A few months later I moved next door to him and after we met on a calm level he became a great friend to me ... He always wanted to play . Ever since then I fell in love with that breed ... Playful protective Dogs that are friendly in the right circumstance . Great with kids too .
Why'd the dog piss you off? because it barked at you for jogging past its house?.... do you possibly suffer from an anger problem Felix? Honestly I used to be that way. Any little thing for any or no reason and I'd be ready to kill someone I was so enraged and had so much hatred and anger in my heart. The slightest transgression and I'd fight anybody. I was on a bad course but have thankfully learned to finally control my anger like. Never thought possible. Just curious if you are the same as I used to be.
Hands down. BEST Dog breed EVER!
They are special pals that as owners we are blessed to share their lives. My forth and current Boxer Rocky is the only dog I know of that if I say bath time, rarely needs one, He will be waiting in the tub for me.
I have a giant litter of these babies and I love them
Good information
Excellent video. I have owned boxers since 2006 (currently have 3) and everything said here is true and useful information.
I've had Boxers now 30 years. My first was American Boxer male tight coat 72lbs. The rest have been German Boxers 100-125lbs. Big heads, soft coat. Often asked if they are Mastiff. Nope! The Euro, American and German Boxers are bread differently. Love them all.
very good video! it's nice that they presented the boxer not only for their more "friendly and funny" side but also for their working side! I now have my third boxer dog, and she's an amazing worker, ofc it's not an easy train, as a malinois would be, but still loves to do her work. I don't think I'll ever change . :)
I am 80 years old.We currently have our eighth boxer in three different countries, it's spoilt us for any other breed.They are family.
@@daviddoling8162 very true.... don't think i'll ever be able to get another breed...🥰
Good video but be aware that this dog dont like hot enviromental so long walks or hiking could be problem in summer (always take extra bottle for your doggy) :D and if this is would be your first dog make sure you have enought time bcs they hate beeing alone more that 5 mins :D
And they frezze in colde wather too
Yes lost mine sadly at age 5. Think a heart condition, trying to keep up with his friend on a hike. So painful to lose him. And yes agree they can’t tolerate heat and need lots of water!
@@grandma460 I lost my last boxer at 7 years and 7 month, heart issue too, it was very sad. Before that, my wife's first boxer died at 13 years old....now we have a 3 year old boxer we took from a family that could not take care of him, we got him when he was 10 month old. I think I don't need to mention that we really like boxers :)
I love them !! I’ve had 3!!
We have had 2 very loving euro boxers both are a joy to be around very protective of the family and our home. We will always have one around to share our lives with P.s.our current part of the family's name is Kylo Wick a beautiful reverse brindle almost black big ball of fun.
Best dog ever had one for 13 years
Be aware that completely white Boxers have a 10% chance of being deaf. this occurs with some other breeds also. Boxers are high energy dogs, they do love children, but sometimes a young Boxer can be too rambunctious for young children. All the short-nosed (brachicephalic) dogs ( Boxers, Pugs, Bulldogs, etc) cannot pant as efficiently as other dogs, this makes this intolerant of hot weather, short fur makes them intolerant of very cold weather so Boxers are often inside dogs unless you live in a very temperate area.
Other than the broken English, my only complaint about this video is #7. I would never recommend a Boxer for a 1st time dog owner. I've owned Boxers for more than 25 years & I still can't say that they're an easy breed. I would advise anyone looking to buy one to do a lot more research & spend some time with Boxers who are young & not as yet, well trained. Watching this video or meeting my dogs would not give a person a clear idea of how much work goes into training.
I always tell people that Boxers are magnificent dogs after the age of two.
MAX was the name of my BOXER. 45 Kilos of best and pure pleasure. Friendly at all, some kind of stupid, but lovely. He was my first real (animal) friend, I hope there will be another, some day...❤😊
I always have a pair. German Boxer or Bullen Beisser. (Bull Baiter) American boxers are smaller. My two are 90 lbs. each. Walking is an issue with kids as they will out weigh them when (making new friends where ever they go.).
Unfortunately, in Europe, they are smaller and smaller year by year... :(
@@DogCastTvEng Inter -breeding?
When I was newborn our boxer sniffed me and since that day she would lay besides my cradle. My mom told me, that 6 months later her sister would visit to see me for the first time, and our boxer bared all her teeth as she entered the room I was sleeping in as she didn't know the scent of my aunt and wanted to protect me. As a little child I would ride her like a horse and we were inseparable. A boxer and children are a match made in heaven. I'm 47 and I still think of her.
I do not recommend a Boxer for first time dog owners, unless you have met some and maybe done dig sitting...they are high energy level and demanding. They do not keep distance to anyone...always need to stay in touch...
I have two sisters Littermates every day I get at least 3 compliments telling me how beautiful they are 🖤🧡
In Alberta Canada we drive pick up trucks and usually a dog is in the back or shotgun seat. I leave my windows down for them to keep Tabs on me but sometimes someone is silly enough to try to stick a hand they will never get back in said Realm of Boxer. I don't own the BowTie. They do. I just drive them to and from a good run. Boxers are called that because they play with punches! Young ones are the best for them. Attention span that will out source any child and no harm to them. They are family oriented and will stand proud between a Family Member and a threat instantly and without prompting from anyone. German Boxers are bigger and more Fun but slobber more.
I just put down my boxer he was over 15 years old. He was very healthy and active up until really his last 6 months
I just lost my pit/mix about 2 months ago. We have the opportunity to rehome a 13 week old boxer puppy. My husband's friend just got a divorce and he bought the puppy for his family. Now he has to keep him in a crate 10 hours a day. 😪 He loves his pup but knows that it isn't good for him to be raised this way. Im excited and nervous. I hope you will be lucky enough to get a dog again soon. Hunter (the puppy) will never replace our beloved Ellie. We know that thier are so many unique circumstances that happen to dogs. Our last dog was a private rescue too. Her Dad passed away and she had no one to take her. I hope you get a chance to have a dog again. It's the purest form of love that I have experienced. I hope you are healing and wish you the best. Hugs!
That is a remarkable achievement, the best I’ve done in 10 boxers is 11 years.
I have a 8 year old female boxer and a 3 mos old black and white female. The pup's father is a German boxer. She has the biggest paws . They are larger than the 8yr old females. Boxers are the best dogs ever.
Dear Bella, black and white German Boxer? Congrats to your dogs!
The one thing I will say about this is definitely dont buy a boxer from any smo off the street. I was looking for a male and drove 4hrs to Pennsylvania to get a pup. I wasnt going to buy the pup because it was covered in fleas but I couldn't leave the pup in that situation. So I buy the pup and my 6yr old son was with me and we get home and he wants to sleep with the pup and I say ok, we wake up the next day and the pups tongue is swollen so bad that he couldn't shut his mouth. I rush the pup to the emergency vet cause it's new years day and 3000$ and 4 hrs later the pup passed away. The lady I bought him from was such a piece of shit that she tried to blame it on me and didnt even want to give me my money back but after a few threats she finally gave me my money back even though I lost 3 grand and it upset my son so much. So please do your research before buying a pup
We had ours up till tonight ours passed away from heart failure dolls you'll be missed dearly
good video, tnk. They are activ yes, BUT boxers like also to fouling arround nd havr a lazy day - no problems.I grow up with a boxer; he was my best friend. Of course we slept together haha.. ;) Had then till today 4 boxers, 2 ladies nd 2 boys.. 3 boxers arrived an age of more then 13y, 1 almost 14y and the actual boxer "Astor" has lil more then 8y now, is playing fouling arround still like cracy.. Coudn't live without a boxer.
I love boxers I Had 3
Our boxer never got along with other dogs, even another boxer. It wasn't his fault. As soon as the other dog would see him, they would freak out. Not sure why. He was a great dog!
they didnt mention (degenerative myelopathy) disease...It is compared to ALS/in humans...My boy was a healthy 9 yr old and was dx with this illness. His organs at 9&10 yr was pristene and all in good health for his age ? BUT xray showed the spine was HORRIBLE...and he was very stoic and never let on that he had a problem with the back...He lived 11 years and Im persuaded he would have gone longer but his myelopathy was restricting him to walk and stand and he became very uncomfortable...I had to put him down 2019...Theren is no cure for this disease but ck with your vet for more info if you have concerns about your dog.RIP Keeno boy......
I’ve had 2 boxers that developed DM. The only blessing is that there is no pain involved. Fortunately there is now a genetic test for it and a reputable breeder will have the testing done on both sire and dam before planning a breeding.
Me gustó mucho tu vídeo y lo puse porque me regalaron un Germán boxer aver si puedo yo no sabía que era un boxer y solo tengo 13 años aver si puedo jajaja
I've had my Rocky Middleton since he was weaned. He turned 4 in April. As far as I can tell the only problem he has is an occasional upset stomach. He is the goofball and cry baby of the family. The only actual health problem he has had was when I took him to be neutered only one testicle had descended so his surgery was a bit more extensive.
Once You Have a Boxer, You will always have a Boxer. BEST breed Ever!
Moje ukochane boxery śliczne kochane mądre kochające dzieci , rodzinę zawsze skore do zabawy cudowne kochajmy boxery❤❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤩🤩🤩😘😘🙊🙊🙊🐶🐶🐶🐕🐕🐕
Left out a few important qualities.
My wife grew up with German bloodlines in Britain and that's what she wanted for her wedding gift. Big brindle clowns that gladly lay their life down for their family. Just lost my friend of almost 15yrs, I am old and it hurts. When he was about 3 a coyote came to the house
4:14 "..ball games and...(what was that?)" Did anybody out there catch that?
I have a Boxer,American Bulldog, Pitbull. I’ve never had a dog like him before. He’s strong and he has stamina. I had to neuter him to slow him down enough for training. He is a lot of work , but he is the best dog I’ve had. He is a clown and a showboat. It’s funny.
I love Boxers! I’ve owned in the past and would again! Imagine my disappointment when my highly intelligent, very easily housebroken Boxer was referred to (the breed) as the most stupid dogs ever by my Vet! He loved them but went on about how stupid they were! 😡
This vet might have never seen a really stupid dog... The boxers are very intelligent and smart dogs, in a different way than other German guard breeds.
@@tealraine He’s a very lovable vet, I mean everyone loves him! He used to compete in the Iditarod every year until he got some age on him. He may have been poking at their silliness but this particular Boxer, my first was SO VERY easy to treat train until she didn’t need the treats any longer but I would still reward her! She would never accidentally go in the house and I never paper trained her. She would always go and sit by the front door and wait patiently! Such a fantastic dog! ❤️
@@tealraine and you as well Teal!
The males are usually dumb as a bag of hammers. Females are usually unbelievably smart and are always the bosses of larger males.
@@donaldblankenship8057 I would have to agree! Although I’ve never owned a male; dog balls kind of creep me out! 😂
Can anyone recommend good German Boxer Kennels?
Yes, in Europe.
Boxers, a popular german dog breed. I know only two german owner of a boxer. An elderly couple 35 years ago and today my neighbor, also around 80 years old. The typical german breeds got very unpopular, here in Germany.
Thanks for the info. What is the reason of it?
@@DogCastTvEng German dog breeds love hard work. Something to do. Someone who is their boss. Not very useful for cuddeling or for someone who fails to be the boss.
@@exn207 Completely agree if you mesnt German working dog breeds.
Babies...
Good dogs by a long shot. You will not get one for free.
Some one needs to do better research before claiming they know the Boxer history. They are not called german boxer, it is just called Boxer. They are a cross breed of a english bulldog and extinct German bullinbizer. Boxers are also highly prone to cancer. (All boxers) The life span of a female boxer is about 11 years and the male is 12 years. I have owned 3 boxers. Ive done the research. You want to know more, Discovery Boxer 101.
@Gen_X_Reaper13, thank you for yout comment. Of course we do not want to argue, jus some facts to mention: what you write "bullinbizer" is Bullenbeiser (bull biter in English), which was not a breed, but a dog type, as breeds have not existed at all at their time. When we prepared the original film, we interviewed several European top breeders, females in almost all cases live a little bit longer, as they said. Best regards and successes to you!
Nope. You are wrong. Except about the cancer. Boxers are cancer factories.
Then why are they called a boxer and not a german boxer? Not one person has ever referred to them as German Boxer. Yes I knew I was possibly spelling one of the names wrong. The males out live female. Every single family that I have been in contact with all have said the same thing. The female passed away at 11 to 12 and the male 12 to 13 years. You need to take into consideration that you only spole to European people that own Boxers. Try getting information from around the world of boxer owners. I would If I could.
their life span is to short-term
Ok, you say they are good friendly, family orientated dogs, I own two. But, most of your video shows them being trained to be aggressive guard dogs,
They are not trained to be agressive. They are primarily working dogs and they love trainings and excersises.
@@DogCastTvEng Yes, I won two. But this video shows a lot attacking a guys arm.
Thats not right. That's the normal education when you do dog sports and ist the regular examination by international rules. Its alwas a mix of suborder, what means things like walking on a leash or without leash, let the dog sit by command, let him ley down by command etc, protection service and search for tracks. Unfortunately its hard for me to explain this in english, but i spend years on dog schools and I was a trainer for "Schutzdienst" what means something like protection service. It's all build up by playing and the dogs are only focused on that protection sleeve. If you take off the protection sleeve, the dogs will never bite your arm, the are conditioned to that sleeve. You dont create aggressive dogs, even if it seems like that. In my avtice time, hidden protection sleeves were forbidden. That makes a big different because with hidden sleeves, the dogs were conditioned to the arm of a Attacket or victim, not to an protection sleeve. I hope, you could understand what i mean and see the difference. Dog sport protection service is priority fun for the dog, because the love playing with there teeth and there mouth, like pulling an a rope or bite into a ball and no aggressin training.
Boxers are excellent family dogs. However, they really need exercise and are a bad choice for home-bound people. They would love home-bound owners but would be very sad if they could not go out to play. Also, females are the bosses if there are males. Males would always be hazards to old owners, not because of any viciousness, but because the males may drag you down the street by their leash if they see a cat. They wouldn't hurt the cat or even catch it. They can get along well with any other pet in the family down to gerbals, because they like cats and are not ratters. Two females will often compete to be the matriarch. That happened between my female and my evil stepmom's boxer. My female always put the other one down on the ground by the neck fur after being attacked but was always sliced down the front leg by the other dog's front paws. My dad got tired of paying a vet to sew Mitzy's leg back up after attacked by the other female. When it happened the last time, my dad got a needle and thread and sewed her leg up without any pain relief during the operation. It hurt Mitzy from the fresh wound and stitches, but Mitzy showed no anger toward my dad, and he knew she wouldn't. Many but not all male boxers may as well be another species when it comes to interactions with small dogs that are not in the family. They may run after a Yorkie or such, grab them by the neck and try to kill them in front of their owners. Fortunately, they are really bad at that and are not likely to succeed. If you own a male, keep pepper spray with you to spray it in his eyes. Not even hitting him on the head with a shovel will get him to let go. They're hardheaded. The other thing that works to get him to let go would be just to go home and he will follow. I wouldn't own a male, but I would shoot or stab one that was trying to kill a small dog. A pet rat though could fend off a male boxer, because they are generally stupid. A female will only snap and eat a pesky fly.
