My daughter-in-law loves Boxers (look, short hair, playfulness, energy, and
love of children) and wants to know if that is a good choice for her family
(3 boys: 10, 6, 3). Their boxer-something mix from the shelter was VERY dog
aggressive and she doesn't want to manage that again. Of course the breed
books discuss only the positive aspects of Boxers with a passing mention that
they can be dog aggressive. Any one with experience with that breed? Your
wisdom would be helpful.
I just finished a trial of two boxers who attacked a corgi who was in whelp
and lost the litter. We had the top boxer breeder in California testify and a
number of boxer breeders and vets who also breed boxers. After listening to
them, and the corgi experts, I would rather have a corgi.
The boxers, as described by the experts seem a bit sensitive and fragile to
me. Also, I was not impressed with how they feel about temperament, they
seem to think it was not a major issue, and wanted to excuse the dog
aggression.
