#13 Are Boxers indoor or outdoor dogs?
They are not suited to sleeping outside at night. Nor should a Boxer be left outside alone during the day. As one of the many agencies rehoming Boxers given up by people who didn't understand the breed, Atlanta Boxer Rescue wants prospective owners to understand, “Boxers should NEVER be outside dogs.”
#14 What are the pros and cons of owning a Boxer?
Pros!
Playful: Boxers love to play. They would make a great companion pet for an older child.
Intelligent: Boxers are very intelligent dogs. This makes them relatively easy to train compared to some other breeds.
Easy to Groom: Boxers don’t shed very much and their short hair is easy to maintain by brushing it just a few times each week.
Cons!
Not ideal for families with small children: Boxers can get pretty excited easily and may jump around playfully. This could cause an accidental injury to a smaller child.
Not great with dogs of the same sex: Boxers don’t always get along well with other dogs of the same sex.
High activity needs: Boxers need plenty of opportunities for exercise. This is not a good breed to get if you won’t be able to meet these needs.
