All About Boxers! 🐾

Size: 50–80 lbs. Boxers are medium-to-large dogs with a strong, athletic build. They are great for active families and those who love big, playful companions!

Shedding: Moderate. Short-haired and fairly low maintenance, but they do shed year-round (just not excessively).

Barking: Moderate. Not overly noisy, but they are alert and protective. Boxers will speak up when something catches their attention.

Experience Level: Best for owners with some experience or those ready to commit to training and exercise. Boxers are strong, energetic, and a bit goofy!

Children: Excellent with children. Boxers are famously patient, playful, and protective, often called one of the best family dogs.

Apartment Living: Possible, but not ideal unless they get plenty of daily exercise. Boxers have lots of energy and need room to burn it off.

Other Pets: Usually friendly with other dogs, especially if socialized early. 

Training: Moderate. Intelligent and eager, but can be stubborn and silly. Consistent, positive training works best; they love to please but also love to play!
