If you are thinking about getting a boxer, please consider getting involved in a dog sport such as agility, flyball, tracking, herding or rally-o. Boxers are wonderful dogs but when left to their own devices they can certainly get into mischief! Working together in a sport will help strengthen that bond between dog and handler and give the dog an outlet.
Check out the Newfoundland Athletic Dog Association for info on agility & flyball classes .
