Traits

My Amon sleeps with my husband and I all of the time. Sometimes my 4 yr will come in there with us and between all three of them the gas is awful.(my son and husband think its funny,must be a male thing) But Amon will not even budge when he lets one go. He also gets so excited to see you and does the kidney bean dance. It does not even matter if it was only a few minutes outside for me to check the mail. And talk about slobber, wow! He is also a very sloppy drinker. I can not go a day with out slobber being wiped on my pants leg. Reminds me of when my skin son was a baby and the never ending snot rag shirts I had. The snoring is also bad, but so cute.

I also love his boxer hugs and kisses. He gives love bytes too( constant nibbling)

He like to box at the fence to try and get the neighbors dogs attention. It is quite funny, but annoying to the neighbors. I just laugh.

He is very protective and a definate guard dog. No one can come close to the house and him not say something about it.

He also jumps high and loves to get on my sons tramopline inside the enclosure and jump. It is so cute.

He woo woos and follows me like a shadow(even though my husband thinks he is his dog).

He hates for my husband love on me or on my son. He will bark and pounce, because he is not getting the attention.

He also does these others: lays on his back, with feet up, love to chase flys and catch them, chases rabits, squirrels, birds, ect, goes crazy in the back yard( now just a big sand pile, no grass), his head is too heavy and lays it on me all of the time . Love to chase bubbles with my son.

They are special and everyday they do something funny to make you laugh.


Does any others do the poopy dance? My male can not even stand still while going poopy.

AAAH,, boxer farts.

My old boy Jake past away last month,,,his cutting the cheese sounded like a bottle rocket taking off,,lol. So funny and then he get up and walk out of the room.

Jake had his own bed time too and he'd wonder off around 9ish at night. The funny part was that he expected you to follow suit and if you didn't he would come out of his room and stare at you and snort and sigh for a bit

Aaah I miss him.

My dog Mojo has always done many of those things.

His nickname is "shakes" because he shakes like a maniac whenever me or his human "mommy" got home.

He loves to jump and retrieve he enjoys playing with other dogs and he loves to play all day and night. But mostly he likes to spend time with people, beg for our attention and be in the middle of everything.

He also lies flat like a frog, lies on his back paws up and lips upside down, run in circles.

Does anyone else have a boxer that must know what's going on in every room in the house at all times?

Mojo is like that.

Super Boxer
Woo Woo

I was reading about the boxer "woo woo" song and thought it was too cute. Zoe does that but only to me - especially when I tell her no about something. She lets out a few howl type noises like she is talking back to me. If I encourage her it will eventually turn into a full fledged bark. The funny thing is that she only does it for me - not the kids, husband or grandparents! Makes me feel kind of special!
The other thing she does that cracks me up is lie on her belly on the floor with hind legs straight out behind her and pull herself forward. This is so cute! Of course I think everything she does is cute.
Since she is a mix I had wondered how many of the things she does are unique to her and how many are true "boxerisms", but judging by what I've read Zoe is a Boxer through and through!
Oh - somebody asked if anyone else's dog like to burrow their face - well Zoe certainly does. Won't go to sleep without burrowing her nose into something!

Mine is very nosy. He wants to see what you have or what you're doing. As far as sleeping habits, check out his pics. He does the butt wag when I get home or when my BF comes in from work. He has most of the other traits mentioned. Lets not even discuss the farts cause he sleeps with me too! They get so bad, they wake him up. He's very jealous but we can't tell of who. He gets in the middle of us all the time. If we hug, he has a fit to get in our faces but he doesn't take sides.

Common Boxer Traits

I'm new to this forum, although I have had a male Boxer for 2 years now; also, I recently adopted a female Boxer/hound mix.

My Boxer & Boxer mix do all of the previously listed; however, the main Boxer trait that I don't see listed is "boxing".... especially standing on hind legs boxing.

Another trait that I don't see listed is "stalking".... crouching to the ground at a standoff, just waiting to pounce....

Cooper uses his paws a lot to play too! I think he drives all the puppies in his puppy class crazy because I don't think they appreciate Cooper's paws in their faces or having their heads repeatedly jumped on :)

Some of the funny things Cooper does are...

Once he's awake he has to jump up on everyone else's bed and lick them until they wake up then off the bed he goes to the next one...

He tries to catch snow flakes...He jumps as high as he can tongue in the air!

Asks to go outside fifty times an hour to eat snow

attacks anything that looks like a ball or will roll ( he LOVES pop bottles!!)

Loves to grab empty cardboard boxes and run around the house with it in his mouth as to prove how strong he is!

Kidneybeans while licking the air (but never us..hmm)

Has to chew his toys on our Lab's tail.

Steals your pillow if you get out of bed in the night.

Devil dogging...when he runs around the house like he's been possed by the devil himself!

Can't forget the cat like ways which he uses his paws to bat at everything!

Never a moment he's awake when he isn't into something or making us laugh somehow! I love this breed! :)
