15 Things All Boxer Dog Owners Should Know

#4 Do Boxer dogs like to swim?

The American Boxer Club agrees that these popular dogs are not natural swimmers. Because they lack much of a tail, and have a deep-chested build, swimming doesn't come as easily to boxers as to other dogs. However, plenty of boxers can learn to love the pool—with patience, and plenty of treats.

#5 How many times a day should you feed a Boxer?

Feed your Boxer twice a day, ideally with the two meals not longer than six hours apart.

#6 Are Boxers good with cats?

If socialized properly, this breed is a joy to have around children and can get along well with other animals—even cats. However, without socialization and training, a Boxer will instinctively chase smaller animals that he may view as "prey," even if that animal happens to be the family cat.
