Boxer
Medium–Large · 50–80 lbs
Developed in Germany in the late 19th century from the now-extinct Bullenbeisser hunting dog and English Bulldogs, the Boxer was one of the first breeds used as a police and military dog in Germany. During WWI and WWII, Boxers served as messenger, attack, and guard dogs — the breed is also claimed to hold the record for the longest tongue of any dog breed.
The Boxer is a playful, energetic family dog with a goofy personality and a genuine love for children — scoring 85/100 in both energy and friendliness. Be prepared for snoring, drooling (65/100), and a shorter-than-average lifespan of 10–12 years that often includes cancer concerns; but few breeds match the Boxer’s fun-loving, loyal character.

Common questions answered before you buy
With some preparation, yes. The Boxer is trainable (70/100) but has a moderate stubborn streak (50/100) — meaning they'll learn commands, but may decide not to follow them if they don't see the point. Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement go a long way. Puppy classes are strongly recommended.
The Boxer needs around 60 minutes of active exercise daily. This means actual exercise — not just a short bathroom walk. A mix of leashed walks, off-leash time, and play sessions keeps them mentally and physically balanced. Their energy level of 85/100 means they won't tire from light activity alone.
Lightly. The Boxer is a relatively low shedder by dog standards, though no dog is truly zero-shed. Occasional brushing keeps the coat neat and minimizes stray hairs. Grooming effort for this breed is relatively low. The Boxer coat is easy to maintain with basic weekly brushing and an occasional bath.
Yes — the Boxer is one of the more family-friendly breeds with a friendliness score of 85/100. They are specifically noted as good with children and families. As with any dog, teach children how to interact respectfully, and supervise early introductions.
The most frequently reported health concerns in the Boxer include Cancer, Heart conditions and Hip dysplasia. Before buying, ask breeders for health clearances on the parents — reputable breeders will have OFA (hips/elbows) or equivalent certifications on file. Budget for annual vet visits and consider pet health insurance from puppyhood.
Not ideally. The Boxer is a high-energy breed (85/100) that needs around 60 minutes of active exercise daily and room to move. Without outdoor space to release energy, they become restless, destructive, or develop anxiety. A house with a yard — or a very committed owner who can provide multiple outdoor sessions daily — is a much better fit.
