Worry NOT!!
We have a one year old male and a 14 week old female and a seven month old baby in the house and while the two dogs are very active as is the boxer way for some reason they just know that they have to be gentle with her!! Tyson loves to lick her toes and Ali licks her face not to mention that they take and love much abuse from my six year old brother!! Boxers have an unspoken but always seen and understood love for children and i know that if our dogs had it their way they would be out playing with the neighbors kids rather than us!! Also we have friends who adopted a boxer that plays with their 3 and 5 year olds like a kid would!! he plays hide and seek, digs in the sand box, and plays dress up! Boxers and kids are a wonderful combo and they are great protectors when they need to be especially of their kids!! i hope all works out well! Tyson&Ali's mom

Coco does so great with little kiddos. She is the typical hyper, jumping kidney bean boxer but when little children get around her, she automatically puts it in low gear. We have worked with her but this seems to come natural to her. The other night we were walking and all the kids were out. We approached a group of 7 children all ranging from ages 10 to 4 - I put Coco in a sit stay and she did exactly that. Her nubby was going 100 MPH but she knew to sit still and they just loved on her and she licked and loved back. We continued on and there was a woman in her front yard with her 2 yr old daughter. The little girl wanted to pet, her mother said "is it nice"...of course I said yes. I put Coco in a sit stay again and as the girl approached, I think Coco realized her mother was nervous so she took it upon herself to lay completely down and let the girl pet her. Butt wiggling away but still on the ground. What a good girl! Boxers are wonderful with children.
