...page 3 Boxers Boxers who do not receive proper exercise will most likely be very rambunctious and/or destructive. A tired Boxer is a well behaved Boxer! Also, Boxers under the age of 1 year should not be permitted to overextend himself, or participate in excessive running or jumping, as his bones are growing and it can contribute to major orthopedic problems down the road, such as damage to the cruciate ligament etc...
Shedding & Grooming
Boxers do shed hair, even though it is not in clumps. The Boxer breed is especially susceptible to seasonal flank alopecia. Providing a quality food, vitamin supplements with Omega Fatty Acids and/or Flax Seed Oil in addition to regular brushing usually keeps shedding to a minimum. Boxers are not considered high maintenance when it comes to grooming.
Boxers & Children
Boxers have great affection reserved especially for children (and older adults too). Most can recognize the need to be more patient and gentle with these fragile beings; however, some are better at executing it than others! Boxers have the tendency to bowl over young children when they get excited or while playing. If you would find this unacceptable, do not get a Boxer dog!!!!
