He's a great dog, he's very sweet, he just wants to be loved, but he's all muscle and mayhem, if you're going for a Boxer, you gotta be up for the action.

Yeah, they are fucking crazy. For real.

He ran with me through a five klick cross country ski, he's gone up and down the hill here retrieving the ball about fifty times, that's another five klicks right there, and now he's going balls to the wall with me and the rope toy, I got six other dogs here, and they're all napping, but the Boxer still has hours to go before he's spent.

Yeah, boxers are great dogs for active men. I would go with the female, though. They are much more affectionate.

He's a great workout buddy, and he's super affectionate, he's just like a paratrooper, he's Airborne all the way, he will pass out eventually, but not until he's done his PT, so long as you're up for the Airborne PT, he's all good.

Somebody like Kath might actually be better off with something like an American bulldog. They play hard when they play but, otherwise, they crash hard for a long time. So you go to work and the Ambull goes to sleep on the couch all day, happy as can be. They are extremely devoted to their families and will definitely protect.

It's better to get them as puppies from good breeders so you can socialize them very early, however.

If you like to do cardio, the boxer is your best friend. Running, hiking, whatever. He's on it.

My American bulldog.. nah. He can walk about a mile or so. He doesn't do cardio. He's like a bodybuilder, not an athlete.

My American bulldog also isn't as clingy. He sleeps at the corner of the bed on his own blanket. My boxer sleeps glommed up against me every single night under the covers alongside me. I think new dog owners should think about little things like that, because it really tells you what kind of dog you might want. I love the protection the big guy brings to the table. He's absolutely beautiful. Magnificent, really. But it's more like we are partners on the hunt whereas the boxer is like our little princess.

I've got an English Bulldog here too, dumb as a post, but very sweet, she's all muscle too, but more of a warding dog, she goes out and wards off intruders, but otherwise just naps and mugs for snacks.

Oh man. Let me tell you. My American bulldog keeps getting these huge bumps on his forehead. I couldn't figure out how this dumbass was injuring himself all the time until just yesterday. Now that the boxer hears me coming home and can alert him to it, he runs to the front door and puts his head right in front of it. He still hasn't figured out that the door opening in your face can cause problems.

[Smitty-48]

Yeah, this one here injures herself too, she usually gets dropped off with some sort of injury, usually a foot injury from charging at something through the rocks and whatnot, the client drops her off hurt, I nurse her back to health, then she goes home and hurts herself again, wash rinse repeat.
