Although I haven't taken home my future Boxer pup yet, I know I will be getting a few remarks from people, both good and bad. I used to get it all the time with my Rottie so I know how all of you feel. Huge beautiful male he was. Things like, "man, those are viscous dogs" or " are you gonna breed him?" or "I would never get a dog that is known to attack people". My usual response to them is, "I can train a Pug to kill if you if I really wanted to". I know certain breeds have more characteristics of protection, etc. etc. but just because I have a large bred dog doesn't mean he or she is viscious. It is the owner's fault for an improperly trained dog. For those who have larger breed of dogs (Rotts, Boxers, Mastiffs, etc.), it is our responsibility to properly train them because they sure don't know their own strength and can do damage if not trained, left alone or provoked. Just my opinion.
