Boxers are energetic, playful dogs that are great for families with children. Their childlike playfulness allows them to keep up with kids during playtime by running and playing outdoors all day. While young boxers can accidentally knock kids over during play, this clumsiness usually disappears as they mature. Boxers are also attentive watchdogs that will protect their home and family, though early socialization and training is needed to ensure they greet visitors in a controlled manner. With sufficient exercise and training, boxers make great family pets that require minimal grooming and typically get along with other pets.

Although not every boxer is the same, the medium to large
breed is generally extremely energetic and playful. This
childlike playfulness means they easily and happily keep up
with kids during playtime. They love running outdoors and
can play outside for an entire day with their families. Younger
boxers can be clumsy during playtime and may bump into
kids or knock them over by accident, but this clumsiness often
disappears as they mature.

3. Boxers
• In addition to their playful personality, boxers are attentive
watchdogs and will protect their families when strangers
approach. When visitors come to the home, boxers may either
greet them with enthusiastic jumping or remain sensible and
polite. Still others may challenge the visitor to ensure they are
safe. Fortunately, early socializing and training can be used to
manage this variation in response.
Altogether, boxers make great family pets when they are cared
for properly. They require a great deal of exercise and must be
trained to ensure they behave as consistently as possible.
Further, boxers require only minimal grooming and are
typically fine around other family pets.
