Boxer behavior
toward another dog
Some say the boxer is an
aggressive dog, that statement is a generalization that is
incorrect. No doubt there are aggressive dogs everywhere, but the
boxer if well bred and raised will not be aggressive, even an abused
boxer will not be aggressive to a gentle hand, is not his nature to be
aggressive.
The boxer is the clown of the
dog world, however that said, he is a hard worker in whatever job or
sport he is to perform.
He has a sense of humor and if
he likes another dog, he will invite him or her to play by bumping them
with his nose. Some people will mistake this for aggression, I
have found that other dogs do not interpret it as such. Be careful
or your boxer will be labeled aggressive by this simple act of
playfulness.
Keep your dog on leash at a
distance of at least 3 feet from any other dog. Not all dogs are
playful or nice to another dog, let alone a dog that likes to play all
the time like the boxer does.
