traits
OTIS, my first born son, ( playing at the bridge ), had all the traits listed, however, he was EXTREMELY SMART. Not sure if it was because I spent alot of time with him in year 1, but he knew what I was saying. I could talk and he understood exactly what I said, it was too weird. He knew the difference between a ball, a bear, a rope and a bone. If I said, "go get the ? ", he went and got that thing, it was sooo cute. Also, he talked. Mostly it was roo, roo roo, a real deep inner bark. EXTREMELY human like, sometimes I wondered. LOVED to go bye bye, just say that and he got so excited, he ran around like crazy, or shake the keys, same effect. I'm sure all your BEAUTIFUL KIDS, do much of the same, aren't they GREAT !!!!! BOXERS :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
I'm now working with my second child, a daughter. I adopted her from a rescue. She doesn't know much, but sit. I don't blame her, it's her up~bringing. She seems like she can learn. She has taught me this week, that she can open cupboards. I made a mistake by putting steak scrapes in the garbage, under the sink. I came home from work and the cupboard was open, garbage was all over the kitchen, no scrapes. Next day the pantry cupboard was open. No more 5 bags of dog treats were there, just ripped up bags all over the house. Now I must find a way to teach her not to do this. I guess I have to put a gate around the kitchen.
I've learned BOXERS are VERY SMART dogs, NEVER underestimate their ability. If you own a boxer, you HAVE a child !!!!!!!!
Like it or not.... maybe that's why some people can't take them and they get abused and go to rescue. I will break my Roxy with tough love, BUT I WON'T EVER HIT HER.......
Also, they do know the difference between a 1yr. old child, a 5yr. old and a 12 yr. old, they play accordingly.
