The Boxer is a medium to large, short-haired breed of dog, developed in Germany. Like all dogs, it requires proper socialization. Boxers are generally patient with smaller dogs and puppies, but difficulties with larger adult dogs, especially those of the same sex, may occur. Boxers are generally more comfortable with companionship, in either human or canine form. Boxers are very patient and are great to adopt as family dogs because they are good with children and people of all kinds.
