Boxers dogs are widely known to be great dogs for families, because they love children.
Although you need to be careful about keeping a boxer dog with young children and toddlers.
Why? Because an excited boxer dog can easily knock a child to the ground by accident.
But young children will love your boxer dog, and your boxer dog will love them too, because boxers have plenty of energy and love to play games with children.
You just need to be careful that they don’t become too excited and boisterous with very young children.
A boxer dog is really better suited for families with slightly older children. This is because older children can help you out with training your boxer dog.
This will also help make sure your boxer dog doesn’t become too boisterous and uncontrollable when playing, which can sometimes happen without training.
As an adult owner of a boxer dog, something you need to bear in mind is the protective nature of a boxer dog. This is especially true if you’re child brings a friend home with them from school, because a boxer may think the other child is “attacking” rather than “playing”.
This will cause them to protect your child against the friend, so you need to be around to supervise until the boxer is familiar with the new friend.
