How about being a sheepherder? I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. The big old ram in the pasture across the street gets out regularly and both Buddy, now at the bridge, and Roxy, our 8 year old love, would somehow manage to sneak ahead of them, turn them around, and chase them back to the pasture. This has happened many times, so wasn't just a fluke. And after Roxy gets the ram back in the pasture, she is so excited, has a big smile on her face, dances, runs around you like she is on fire, and in general is about the proudest thing you have ever seen. In fact it makes me proud! What wonderful pets, is there any other kind of dog? I don't think so!

Our Buddy loves laying on his back, with his arms straight down at his sides, like a human. And he definitely knows how to let you know when he wants something. He is so spoiled. When he wants on my lap, he just sits beside me and looks at me like "you know what I want!". It's adorable. He's really big into "boxing" too. The guilt trips are maddening though. This is my first boxer, but from now on I think boxers are it for me! He's a little angel.

My boxer "BRIEFS" is great with our 3 kids. My wife thinks I am nuts because of the way I spoil her.She deserves every bit of it. She is 10Mos. old and learns quickly. This is my first boxer and if I had known how good she was going to be I would have gotten two.

Okay, here are numerous things my boxers do. When I come home from work & ask who has to go potty, Maxine turns into a U-shaped doggie! She starts running towards the back door @ the same time she's sorta pointing to her butt as if - "yes, yes..something's GOT to come out of there...." If I'm in the basement and she has to go potty, she'll give me the ol' woo woo until I ask her if she has to go potty - sometimes she even starts hitting me with her nose. Then she'll run to the top of the stairs & give me her paw until I get to the top of the stairs. She definitely does the jack-hammer all the time & one day she hit me so hard in the head I saw stars! Diamond used to jump up into my arms (before she had pups). Can you imagine - a 60 lb. doggie bouncing off the floor straight up into my arms? It took a while, but I learned how to catch her! They BOTH HATE snow & rain. It has to be warm & sunny - at the very least DRY out before they'll voluntarily go outside. Diamond doesn't lay on her back too often, but Max does. She sleeps with me every night and every morning, she'll use her back paws to push herself up to me and lay on her back with one paw straight up in the air & the other @ her side while I pet her belly. They do the "frog" thing, which is hilarious, they get thier lip caught in their upper tooth - cracks me up, and Diamond snores LOUD! They both get some bad gas! Sometimes they can even clear a room!
How about jealousy? If we're paying attention to Diamond instead of Maxine, Max just goes NUTS! She starts "pretending" to bite Diamond & she'll nibble on Diamond's paws, jump on her back, push her out of the way- whatever it takes to get Diamond out of the picture! And - that's her mother!
They go zipping around the backyard in big circles which cracks us up! They go counter surfing & dumpster diving...Maxine pretends she can't get up on the bed herself so she makes me pick her up & put her on the bed - the big baby!!!!
One day she was sleeping on the oversized chair w/ me & my husband came downstairs & she tilted her head back off the chair & it made her slide head first onto the ground and she stayed in that position - like she was doing a headstand - butt straight up in the air! It was hilarious!
Does anybody have a boxer/boxers that drink water from the shower or the bathtub? Diamond refuses to drink from a water bowl. She's been like that since we got her @ age 3. Max followed in her footsteps so they drink from the shower &/or tub if I'm in there & out of the "clean" toilet bowl. Also, Max & Diamond are always in the bathroom with me when I'm getting ready for work.
They LOVE car rides - even if it's to go to the vet. They LOVE everybody. Maxine chases flies & lightening bugs & I just LOVE when they hear a strange noise & tilt thier heads in every direction. The whole time you can just imagine them saying, "What is that?! I just CAN'T figure it out!"
Another really funny thing Max does is with my husband. He'll blow in her face and she gets so excited her bottom lip starts quivering and she starts licking his face and nibbling on his lips! (they look like they're making out!).
I want another!!! I just love them so much! They are REALLY great dogs!

Mabel hates going out in the rain also, she will try to walk under the eves of the house to avoid getting wet if she can. As for the snow she tares around, nose to the ground , pushing the snow. If you throw a snowball she will hunt for it! and come up with a big mouthfull of snow:D
