A characteristic of boxer dogs that many owners love is their expressive behavior.
This breed of dog loves to act the clown, and will soon learn many different comic behaviors that will be reinforced by the owners amusement and laughter. Many owners even swear that their boxer dog checks to see everyone is watching before they begin their performance!
Boxer dogs have very expressive faces. The attentive owner will soon learn to recognize what the different faces mean.
Even a slight wrinkling of the nose or movement of the ears will show you how your boxer is feeling at any particular time.
Something to be aware of with male boxer dogs is the fact that they can be aggressive. You can usually spot this when they are puppies. You can observe how they behave with other male dogs to see how aggressive they are.
Like many male dogs, boxers can become territorial in the area they are regularly walked. This can sometimes lead them to becoming aggressive towards other dogs they see when they are out for a walk.
It’s important to give your dog proper training (while he is still young, especially) to ensure this kind of behavior doesn’t become commonplace.
