Any Boxer owner will tell you that these dogs will quickly become your best friend.

Boxer’s are high-energy dogs that crave constant attention, but they are great around kids making them the perfect household pet. This is a very smart breed, and with that comes a human-like personality filled with patience and curiosity. So be sure to shower your Boxer with love, attention, exercise, and tons of human interaction.

Not only do Boxer dogs have amazing personalities, but they also have undeniably handsome features. The Boxer’s head, their most distinctive feature, is chiseled with a strong square jaw, sweet eyes, and a wrinkled forehead. Most full-grown females reach 21-25 inches at the shoulder, and weigh-in at 50 to 65 pounds. Male boxers usually weigh 15 pounds more than the female, and have an appearance of strong, well developed muscles. Typical coloring for Boxer dogs are beige and brindle with white markings, and their coat is glossy and smooth.

Even though Boxer’s require a great deal of time and attention, they’ll be a lifelong companion for every owner.
