Since I do not have a boxer of my own (yet), then I will talk about my brother's. He has all the traits that have been listed, except for the woo-woo. I have read thru most of this thread but not all of it so I don't know if any others do this but Banner(my brother's boxer) will lick constantly when a new person comes in or if you have been gone for a while. He will get right up in your face and just lick like crazy but he doesn't lick you! he just licks like an inch from your face. I always find this funny.

Cute topic!! Okay, here goes...Cooper is our third boxer ever, the common traits that I've seen are:

*laying on back, feet up, not a care!
*GAS
*Kidney Beans
*Boxer Woo Woo Song
*Catching flys
*Using paws in cat like movements
*Zipping around the backyard for no apparent reason. We always say it looks like Cooper thinks the Devil is chasing him!
*CUDDLEBUGS
*Lay their head on you like it is too heavy to hold up!
*Happiness!

yep.... sounds like Keeroff! '

P.S.boy is this an old thread or what?! :eek:

OMG you pegged it! My boy does all those things. I love it when he plays outside with us and he does that buckin bronco thing. If we are playing in the house and any of us run the opposite direction he will either bite us on the bottom or bite us on the pant leg. Oh yeah and he sleeps on his back with his feet in the air. Anyone else's baby do that?

Has anyone experienced the summersault or head stands? Prince does that on the couch all the time...I can tell him "summersault" and he will do it! What a hoot they are!

Zoey digs at invisible mysterious things hidden in/under blankets. She also does head stands, and summer saults. I love the summer saults. She will also curl up on my legs/feet if we are outside and she thinks it's time to go in! Oh yeah, and she is quite the little snorer!

 

[PrinceBubba]

Does anyone elses boxer constantly have gas. It is sooo gross. You can hear it even. Just wondering if it is the breed, or if I should switch her food!

Gas is definately a trait.....never feed them turkey! After thanksgiving...OMG!!!!!

 

[daziegirl4]

How about that boxer "wiggle". When she is excited to see me or anyone else that pays attention to her she does the wiggle and no matter what mood you're in that will definately put a smile on your face. I've never seen a dog that can walk while her body is shaped in a "U" but thats my Lucy.

That's exactly what Sydney does! hahaha I call it the "Pretzel" and I think that's what everyone else is referring to as the "kidney bean"? Maybe?

They are great aren't they? So much fun to be around ahahaha I see all of the traits in Sydney too...hysterical!!!

 

[Oscar's mama]

Oscar was doing the somersaults a couple of months ago when we got him a new bed. I never laughed so much. He LOVES to lay on his back and chew his toys upside down and he loves having his belly rubbed. Of course he kidney beans like crazy -- he twists so much it looks painful! Oh, sometimes when he sleeps he digs his nose down into the bed, blanket or rug, like he is sniffing, but falls asleep like that. Anyone elses boxer sleep like this? Me and my husband always laugh when he does that.

My baby Joe snores like crazy and also has the excessive flatulance problem, haha. When we take him on a road trip we have to roll down the windows quite frequently! Also Joe is a jumper! He jumps over the coffee table and even another boxer in the family that is a lot bigger than him, it is too funny!
Joe also does the kidney bean thing and is a sloppy drinker. I can't be mad at him though because he is too cute!
