Boxer Insane
Geez Donna...you had a close encounter of the LOSER kind!! How frustrating is it to have to listen to some twit tell you you're wrong!!! Bashing your head into a wall is the only relief you can get from the garbage spewing from their lips!! I have put up with it for so long and one day after an incident I felt compelled to at least try to educate some people in our community on the BOXER by writing a letter to the editor in our local newspaper. After the letter was printed, I got calls from other boxer owners thanking me for standing up and saying something in defense of the boxer (although they all agree that there is nothing wrong with pits either, only irresponsible owners..of ANY breed!). My letter may not have educated the entire community, but I sure felt good for doing it. I bet that the woman I spoke of in my letter recognized herself and if she had any decency at all, she would have felt horrible for the things she said!! Here is a copy of that letter...it is a little lengthy, but I'm proud of it! :D
Insulted By Ignorance
I have had a recent encounter with someone ignorant to dog breeds! I had my BOXER with me and a woman hurled insults to my dog and to me because she had confused my dog with another breed!
Regardless of my choice of breed, nobody has the right to verbally attack me because of my preferred choice of breed. If you are not educated in dog breeds, ask me nicely and I will tell you all you want to know about my Boxer!
People commonly mistake a boxer for a pit bull. They are, in fact, two separate breeds.
The Boxer has a stable temperament that has made it a favourite working and companion dog throughtout the ages. Sleek, strong and self-assured, the Boxer is one of several working breeds developed in Germany in the late 19th century. It is a member of the Bullenbeisser, ancestor of the mastiff-type dogs. The small Bullenbeisser is the progenitor of the Boxer and Bulldog.
Boxers love people and become deeply devoted to their family, and they seem to adapt perfectly to every mood! They are great dogs with children, seemingly devoted to them. Great companions for youngsters because they are patient and gentle. They are very trainable, intelligent and anxious to please. They have been successful in guide dog work and have proven very adaptable in this regard.
Boxers look intimidating, no doubt about it. Their size and natural tendency to bark and alert can be frightening. Boxers are NOT attack dogs. Any Boxer that does behave viciously or bites a human is not exhibiting a Boxer's temperament.
Viciousness is not a trait you have to train out of a Boxer: it should not be there to begin with. Viciousness displayed in any Boxer is more likely to be a result of Backyard Breeders who do not practise proper health testing. They are only in it for the money, pumping pups out hand-over-fist, and destroying a very prominent breed!
Our home will never be without a Boxer! We have found the perfect breed for our family!
So, the next time you encounter a dog that you are unfamiliar with, do not hurl insults and foul language! Instead, ask what kind of dog it is. You may be surprised to get a description of a wonderful dog like the Boxer!
