Traits
I just wanted to say I had some really good laughs reading about your dogs. This is my first boxer and I absolutely love her to death. We plan on getting another puppy in about a year. I too got my puppy from a newspaper breeder and she is just great.
She has all the same traits described except one I haven't heard mention is that incredibly long tongue that hangs out of her mouth. When she gets tired out come the tongue. I took a picture of her when she was a puppy with it sticking out and thought is would be a unique picture, little did I know her tongue would be sticking out 75% of the time. She is also great with my kids. I have had to get rid of dogs that weren't and she is definitely the best with kids. I would never get another breed again.
P.S. gigi2436 I really like your dogs name - Farley- that's my last name.

I love watching my baby run at full speed, it is hysterical. Her lips are flapping, her ears are blown back and it looks as though her rear end is so low to the ground she'll get "ground burns" on her bottom. Also, I love the eyes and the content sigh that she makes. I will have no other breed but the boxer!

Dirty noses
Our Rocky Brown at 12.5 y/o always has a dirty nose. The odd occasion when it is clean we get worried! How about being nosy - whenever I dig the garden or drill a hole his nose is right there. When we had the gas engineer in to fit our gas fires he watched every thing and refused to move until the fire was lit. The only mistake God made was not letting boxers live as long as us.

Traits
My little man has a couple of unusual traits, he likes to drag his bed outside and sit on that rather than sit on the grass.
He also has a tendency to go straight for peoples nipples when playing, I don't know what it is, but male or female, if he is in a playful mood watch out
I love my little man
:D

My boxer does have the common traits, like:
*Laying on carpet with legs back like frog
*Jumping like a nut with his paws out in front, like a boxer!
*Hating puddles
*Eating the dust broom
*Drags his feet
*Likes to lay his head on the pillow at night
*Puts paws under door and wines when we shut the bathroom door
*After I take him out in the morning, he runs on the couch and rolls around on his back - EVERY MORNING
*LOVES tennis balls
*Elevating his head anywhere he can when he lays
*Sniffs the snow...like crazy!
*Has to have EVERYTHING our other dog has. If he's laying all nice, and our other dog has something, he has to go get it from our other dog and take it away. AND, if my other dog has raw hide, my boxer will wine and bark forever, until he can get it away. The only time he barks is if it's at my other dog!
But, there are a few wierd ones:
*His obsessions with squirrles!!!! He can't wait to get outside and hunt them down. One day he ran head on with one and stood there stunned. He will actually run after one and try to climb the tree..that's his biggest trait!
*Second biggest trait, obsessed with wheels! If we move the wagon, he freaks out trying to eat the wheels and wines like a mad dog! Anything with wheels he freaks!
*He actually loves the blowdryer. I blow dry him when I'm doing my hair and he loves it..he barks and jumps but loves it!
*Lastly, I have to mention his bad trait. Although he's mostly house trained now, when he has and does urinate in the house, he has to run while he's doing it so it gets everywhere...walls, doors, anywhere and everywhere. It's so difficult to clean!!!!!

My boxer is not the typical boxer I think. One thing I did notice is that she will not be bossed, which is I hear a big trait. She does kidney bean but she barely makes a sound, never mind the woo woo song. She is also very shy and not very protective. She loves playing with other dogs and with the cats and loves children.:p
my male boxer Thorn lies on his back and rolls around the floor, swings rope toys around his head to music, barks at candle shadows and always wants to play ball when we sit down to watch a dvd. He also likes to watch out of our bay window, then bark at old ladies or young children who walk past. He then has to check round the back door to make sure they have not tried to get in. he also is very clumbsy as he does not stop if his toy goes into a wall and he is always treading on our toes. He is also a great snorer.
