Did you get your 5th boxer yet?  Do you get them from rescue?  Are they all male?  I have 2 males ( almost 9 ys. and 11 1/2 yrs) and my daughter has 2 males ( 3 yrs) from the same litter There are times that her two get a little rambunctious with my 8 1/2 yr old.  It appears that my 11 1/2 is the alpha but now that he is starting to slow down a little I'm concerned he might be challenged by her  two.  My 8 1/2 will somewhat get out of the way of hers when they come over and will go under a table or a desk.  They have challenged him over his toys.  How do yours get along?  I've had 2 boxers from the same litter before and when they are from the same litter they feed off each other's energy and are some times harder to control around other dogs.  With people there never was a problem with any of mine or with my daughters.  Her 11 month old crawls all over all of the dogs and climbs on them and they just love her. I agree...they are very comical and make us laugh all the time!  They have LOTS of love to give!!!

I don't own Boxers, but one of my closest friends does....she has 2 Boxers, a male and a female, they are both rescues.....OMG, the female is around 2 years old and can "clear" a 6 foot stockade fence with no problem!!! It is so bizarre to see a dog in mid-air coming over a tall fence...

Wow, that is very unusual.  I do believe it's the way any dog is raised.  Where do I start...I've had boxers since I was a child and am on my 6th and 7th.  Over 50 years of owning boxers and over 20 years of having 2 at the same time.  I've never had any of them bite anyone.  When I had my first child I remember the last night in the hospital worrying about bringing her home and how my dog, who was very protective of me.  He would bark (never bite or become aggressive) at my husband when he would hug me.  I remembered reading horror stories about how some dogs would attack a baby because of jealousy.  Shawnee was just the opposite, if a friend of mine would pick up my baby he would bark at them, protecting her.  Never would he snap, just wanted to protect her.  When she started crawling, she would crawl over and on him, grab his paws, ears, nose and he would take so much and then just walk away.  Now my daughter has a 11 month old baby and she also has 2 boxers from the same litter that are over 3 yrs. old.  Mine are 11 1/2 and 9 yrs.  My granddaughter does the same to my guys and my daughters guys that she did to Shawnee.  These dogs are so tolerant of children and love all children that it's unbelieveable.  When my other daughter was around 2 she used to slide off the couch and onto my dog.  My poor dog, it had to hurt him, I would get upset with her but she thought it was a game.My brother and sister-n-law had 2 boxers (now only 1, one passed) and had 2 small childred (now 13 and 15) and they were great with them.  I can't say enough positive things about them.  They are the most loving and sensitive and loyal dogs there are and real people dogs.  They have all been my babies and I love them to death.  Please email me with any other comments or questions you may have.  I highly recommend this breed.  You'll fall madly in love with them.  I have!

I have a 2 1/2 yr. old male boxer. He has no signs of aggression what so ever. I have 2 grandchildren and have not a worry that he would ever bite them.  Just tonight my neighbors came over with their dog and was taking her for a walk and want to know if Storm could go with them. They returned with him a half hour later and said he was so good. I can't imagine that Storm would ever hurt anyone, unless they would be a threat to me. He has never been put in that position so I'm not sure what he would do. Probably lick them to death. 

I have a four year old boxer boy!!  He is moslty fawn, but does have some brindle markings.  We lovenly call him out "frindle" boy!    His name is Cisco.

Cisco is a handsome boy, kind of reminds me of one of mine.  Is he your first boxer?  They are a wonderful breed, loving, affectionate, funny and so loyal.  They are also great with kids of all ages.  I've always been able to walk my guys, always had males, and they just loved any child that would come up to them. There were times I had to protect the children from getting a bath of kisses!
