The Boxer breed is a medium-sized, muscular and athletic dog. They are known for their high energy, loyalty, and affectionate nature towards their family. They are intelligent and eager to please, making them trainable and versatile in various tasks such as police work, search and rescue, and as family pets. Boxers require regular exercise and socialization to prevent boredom and destructive behavior.

The Boxer has a short, smooth coat that is easy to maintain. They shed moderately year-round, but brushing with a bristle brush once or twice a week can help remove loose hair and distribute natural oils for a shiny coat. Boxers also benefit from occasional baths to keep their coat clean and fresh. Like all dogs, they require regular nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care. Boxers may be more susceptible to certain skin conditions, so regular skin checks are recommended.
