I’d never really met a boxer up close until a veterinary friend came over to our house with her boxer a few years ago. One look at the dog and my cat Barnes, who was normally very calm and gentlemanly, turned into the biggest, hairiest and hissiest cat ever and launched himself at the poor dog from the stairs above. Luckily Barnes didn’t have any front claws (not my doing, I can assure you) but the poor dog was terrorized beyond belief. Poor thing!
More recently, another friend brought her two boxers into the Embrace office for a visit (yes, they are Embraced dogs) and they had a ball cavorting around with such high spirits, I was exhausted just trying to keep my eyes on them.
So the write up on the Boxer in the Embrace Pet Health Center did not surprise me at all.
He might have a worried look on his wrinkled face, but the Boxer isn’t worried about being loved: He’s one of most popular dogs in America. And that’s no surprise, since this is a joyful, loyal companion that truly bonds with his human family. A well-bred, well-socialized Boxer is friendly with children and people he knows, suspicious and alert but not aggressive with strangers, and always ready for a walk, a game or just some quality time on the sofa with you.
Boxers have a number of health issues to watch out for, including cancer. A sample of the health issues they can get is shown below.
