A Beautiful Boxer Temperament

A little under two years ago, I decided to give one of my girls to my Mother, up in Alaska. Mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers and I worried about her being alone so much. Mother loves her home of over 50 years and does not want to move nearer to her children, until she is forced to.

I was a little concerned that Flirt would be too bouncy for a 79 year old lady, but Flirt has exceeded my wildest hopes.

Flirt flew up May of 2006 and stepped off the plane like an experienced traveler. She immediately knew her job and adopted my Mother. They share the couch during the day for naps and the bed at night. Flirt watches out the window and lets anyone walking by know that a big (tough?) dog lives there.

Mother does have a dear friend that has moved into the house and helps out. He and Flirt have also become great friends.

I am up in Anchorage, visiting for Christmas and do love to see a true Boxer doing a job that is so important and showing just how great and intelligent the breed is.

I love to hear about real life Boxer-related experiences like this!! I bet you are so proud of your girl - what a wonderful gift to give to your mom. :)

Good job Flirt :)
My boxer Bismarck who was usually pretty bouncy could also adapt very well around old people and kids.
I remember a boxer in Modesto, California, who used to alert his owner when he was about to get a seizure (epilepsy) so he could get ready for it. Boxers can be really good dogs with people with some handicap.
All the best wishes for good luck and good health to your mother.

Good Boxer!

Good Boxer Flirt! They are great dogs to have and this is a perfect example!
They just want us to love them! And they give us much more love in return!

It must be a relief for you to know that your Mom has such a loyal friend. Way to go Flirt Appicon
