Apollo has all of the above traits but his most obvious are the gas :rolleyes: , sleeping on his back, and ramming both his front paws into you like he's trying to push you out of his way. His one other funny trait is the "freak out". I've seen other posts about these and his are similiar. He just goes nuts and starts running all over, rolling over and over again, and chasing his tail. It's hilarious!!!

Things Abbie does...

- Rolls on her back like a wiggle worm to scratch it.
- Nibbles on your sleeves on your wrists....not sure why she does this...:confused:
- Stands straight up (like a person) on her back legs & puts front paws on your stomach.
- Talks back to her squeekie toys when playing with them (sounds just like Chewie from Star Wars!!!) Shoulda named her that!
- Will search for you forever if you throw her toy & then hide from her.
- Chases leaves
- Uses front paws for EVERYTHING!!
- Ferousiously growls when you play, but wags her tail at the same time!
- Is a definate snuggle bug
- Snores, Farts, Jerks when she's dreaming - use to make sucking noises when she was dreaming too...but havent heard her do that in a while
- Loves chasing our 2 cats
- Loves to run
- When you're sitting in a chair she loves to "sit on your lap" by resting chest & front legs on your lap, but keeping back legs on floor (she has actually fell asleep like that too!)
- Chases flies...never catches them lol
- LOVES to play with any size ball

Well im sure there are alot more...but thats all i can think of now! :)

My daughter once said that our Myah has a tongue like an aardvark !! Too true.. and that was when she was a wee baby, her tongue has grown with her. They are just big bundles of love.. a lot of work for the unwary, they need a lot of attention, but they are fun, playful dogs.

First time

This is my first time on the forum. I have a 2 year old fawn boxer named Isabella. I love to hear all the characteristics of everyone's boxers because she has all of them too. I've had one boxer before her and feel in love with the breed. Unfortunately my first boxer, Lillian, died at 2 and 1/2 years old. She had cardiomyopathy which is talked about on this web site.

Isabella is so funny because she has bursts of energy and flies all over the yard. She also loves to box with her other boxer friends. She does the kidney bean and thinks she is lap dog. She gets jealous if we pet my fiance's dog, which is a golden retriever, and starts WOO-WOOing or tries to push him out of the way. My favorite thing she does is lay with her back legs out straight behind her like a frog. My first boxer did not do that and I call her my little froggy. It's funny how their mood reflects their owner's because she always knows what kind of mood I'm in and mimics it. My fiance says that we're like Eliot and ET. When I'm sick, she's sick, etc.

I love hearing about everyone else boxer's because I know that I'm not the only one crazy for the breed. No one really understands how great they are until they have a boxer as a companion.

But, unfortunately, they are not for EVERYONE. They are a very high spirited dog that need a lot of attention, training and love. This takes time and if you don't have the time to devote to this breed, then they are not for you. A few years ago, someone at my work gave away a gorgeous brindle, because he was a "bad dog". There are no "bad dogs" just the wrong owners. Another breed would have probably worked out better for them. I hope that anyone seriously considering adding a boxer to their families, do the research first - this site is an excellent resource, because in a lot of ways, they can be very difficult dogs as well as the most affectionate clowns..

Companions

You are absolutely right. It takes a certain kind of person to be a good boxer companion. My fiance, for instance, isn't as fond of the breed as I am. He doesn't have the temperment that I have to deal with my always playful, clowning, attention requiring boxer. He still loves her the same though he just prefers more laid back dogs like our golden retriever. Thanks for putting that out to the readers because anyone interested in having a boxer should know that they require a lot of attention, love, and understanding but they also give back the same.

My two boxers Bruiser and Shadow love to tease each other to no end, It is very funny some of the things they will do to each other. One of the funnier things they do is that they will pull the other ones bed apart. They are truely great dogs.
