Boxer Traits

[luvaluva]

boy! do all of these traits sound familiar or what????
My female,Taylor is famous for most of the antics listed above, plus she loves to play soccer all by herself she uses her front legs to juggle the ball and pounces on it as well... if anyone dares to try to take it away she hangs on VERY tightly with her jaws and WILL NOT let go for anything.
As for Jazz (male) he is my luvaluva and if he wants attention or food or a belly rub he pushes his way in behind me when I'm sitting down wraps himself around the back of my neck (like a scarf) and shoves his cheek in front of my face if I'm watching T.V. or talking to someone in front of me.

It's all in that strut ! ! ! ! !

I have gotta add this ----- MISCHEVIOUS!!!!!!!clowicon

Dallas is so sneaky and quick with getting into things and OH MY she knows how to open the dresser drawers now! :eek:
Sounds like my boxer is a lot like all these others here!

I forgot about the flies--dragonflies!

I forgot to mention this until I saw all the entries about your boxers chasing flies. I can't wait until warmer weather. The dragonflies hang around in our backyard, and Cassie chases them for hours, of she could. It's almost like the dragonflies are playing with her; they stay in the yard and buzz low enough to tease her then fly off to another part of the yard. I love it because Cassie will run and play without my help, and it gets pretty warm outside. I have to check Cassie periodically to make sure she doesn't overheat herself!!

I meant, she'd chase them for hours, IF she could. Sorry...

Dax our now almost 4 year old boxer--What did we do with our time before. He has typical traits..sleeping under the covers (in the bed of course), gas, the woo woo song, although he does it when we sing the Boomer Sooner fight song, and of course the heavy head to leave a slobber ring whereever he goes. We think he lies around why we're gone practicing "how to be so cute its pathetic." But...does your boxer eat Broccoli? He loves it and the vet says since it's a vegetable it's ok.

We'll never own another breed, they're always full of animation and I've never had a more loving, cuddly dog. He's our 70 pound lap dog, if I'm on the couch he's with me.

Dax is fawn/blk mask/natural ears/docked---He's agility and obedience trained--although does better in agility. Obedience takes so much concentration.

Odd eating habits

I thought Mackie was the only dog that had food cravings! He hasn't shown a fondness for broccoli but he loves cantalope and grapes! Gotta go It's bedtime and Mackie is staring at me waiting to hop up and crawl under the covers..what a goof!!

I n response to your previous answers.

Lying full stretch on the bed, legs in the air.
Sitting on any available knee like a baby. Wagging tail so hard almost falling over.
Talking.
Need I go on!!

COMMON TRAITS

My 4 year old boxer Dempsey has most of the traits told by everyone. I especially love when he snores and his lips flubber out as he exhales. I don't think Dempsey knows what a floor is....If I'm on the couch/bed, he's right there on top of me. I love the way Boxers cuddle.

Flubbering lips, doggie dreams, snoring, slobbering!!!
Flea bites quite frequently, pouncing anything that includes movement and the couch if Moma decides to have a seat! VERY MUCH A LAP DOG!!!:eek: kidney beaning into absolutedly everything, very hyper and playful, lovable, kissy girl :p, SNEAKY, jealousy, picky...picky...picky!!! Talking back, woo woo songs, singing to the guitar, jumping over the couch everytime someone has that drink in the blue glass :eek:!I would say probably a lot of people tell me how misbehaved my Dallas is or can be, but she is the most lovable dog with the best energy and would not hurt a a fly. I know from fact they can talk about her behavior, but can not talk about her personality. They just don't understand her like we do ....Oh yes I can not forget our Dallas favorite trait- oh how the HEFFER can beg!

i agree with all of the above but my boxer loves to swim,she even plays in the sprinkler.i think it is so neat how when you tell something about one boxer you tell something about all boxers they are truly one of a kind.I love each and every one of them
