dog breed boxer

hi i'm nancy frensley and i'm the trainingmanager at the berkley east bay humane society and i have been asked how do you care fora boxer? well i'm primarily a trainer and behaviorist so i'm more interested in behaviorthan the other aspects of taking care of a boxer but things that you need to know whenyou set out to take care of the boxer is 1, they don't have much undercoat so they mayneed a sweater in very cold climates, 2, they are part of a breed that we call bullie breedsor bull dog types of dogs and because of that they have really really high drives and ahigh desire, lots and lots of energy and they also will go into what we call predatory driftvery very easily so when you are caring for your boxer you want to take into considerationtraining. you need to start training as soon

as your dog comes into your home and makesure that they are answering to you because if they get interested in something else theyare not likely to pay attention to you. otherwise you want to make sure that they have a verygood diet, that they have lots and lots of exercise. your boxer will want to exercisea lot, that they play with appropriate dogs, other types of bullie breeds are excellentfor them to play with and that they answer to you all the time.
