    A MESSAGE FROM DOCUMENTARY TELEVISION
    Hey guys thanks for watching the videos, to those of you who watch every video, double thanks. You all should know that it's my intention to film every dog breed. The order in which I film them is truly dependent on a lot of different factors, some of which are out of my control. I am a single person producing the content for this channel, so if I don't get to your request immediately, its not that your being ignored. Its a monumental task I'm taking on, please be patient and enjoy the videos as they come. Thanks!

    I watched this before getting my boxer, and now watching again after having my first boxer for 10mo now. They are the best dogs! I grew up with different dogs, and I am completely sold on boxers! We have what we like to call a perfect dog. He is fun, energetic, positive, happy, smart, goofy, loyal, will lay down and chill when we want him to, and is the best family dog. He has definitely made himself part of the family. I know that their life expectancy is shorter than other dogs, but we intend to have a great time with him for as long as God gives him life with us. Great video. Oh, and yes, she didn’t mention the gas! Lol. It’s actually a good thing because I can blame all of my gas on him and he can’t say otherwise (unlike my boys), 😂😂😂

      I've always been a german shepherd girl. The last one I had lived to be fifteen years old. Now, the man that I'm now married to was emphatic about getting boxers. When he was a young teen, he bred and showed them and said, I wouldn't be disappointed. Anyway, we got our two Boxers 13 years ago. We decided to get the two because they would chew on each other, instead of the furniture 😬. Since we're NASCAR fans I named them Talla and Dega. Let me tell you, they became my heart and soul. My Dega was my best friend and shadow. I don't think I ever went to the bathroom alone once he decided that I was his person 😆. Talla was aloof and did her own thing.
      Let me give a little advice to anyone looking to get two pups. Getting them from the same litter isn't advisable. When they're ready to cross the Rainbow Bridge, they'll most likely go together. After 13yrs of the best years I've ever known, my Dega passed away in his sleep. Our Talla followed him five weeks later. The heartbreak was too much to bare 😢. Our veterinarian told me that we must have done something right for both of them to have lived as long as they did.
      My husband was concerned about the depression I was in, so he insisted we get another. I felt it was too soon and I was betraying their memory.
      We picked up our little Finnster, and though it was a little hard to warm up to him (I couldn't help comparing him to Deg), BOOM💥, like a shot to the face, the little shit wriggled his little ass right into my heart!
      The best thing about the Boxer breed is, with the exception of a few quirks, basically they have the same personality. At least that's what I've seen.
      Oh, and to address their gas. I'm ready to set fire to my nostrils. I'm ready to design a holster for two Fabreeze cans!!! 🤣🤣🤣.
      They are everything and more. Finn is 6 months old now and sometimes a handful, but I wouldn't trade him for the world. And yes, once you've had a Boxer, you'll always have Boxers... Gass and all 😷🤣

If it’s in your budget try Stella and Chewys or Open Farms. They’re a bit pricey but read the feeding guide a lot of the times you end up feeding them less because the food is higher in calories and protein. I also try to stay away from Chicken

    I agree I'm a Boxer Lover. My brother had a few and I really liked them. My husband and I were looking at different breeds it took a few years to agree on a breed. Boxer was what we decided on. I spent next few years doing research on the breed that way I'd be ready when I found my dog. I found some pups for sale finally and knew we wanted a girl. So I took my boys and went to see them. I was looking at the runt which was a brindle was what we wanted as well. My boys got in the pen with the pups ( there were about 6-7 girls), and they were going crazy. They were barking pulling clothes and shoe strings. The biggest girl that I didn't want because she would be so large decided she didn't want anything to do with that. She climbed out of the pen and into my lap and fell asleep. It was perfect, I decided she was the one right then. So I put my deposit down for her, then few wks later we picked her up. She was 8 wks when we got her. By the time she was 9 wks she was house trained. She was the best dog ever.. She was with me always, this April it will be a year that she passed. I miss her greatly. We treated her like she was our daughter. I would love to have another one eventually, I do miss having that sweetness with me. Thank you for the video makes my heart happy to see the babies playing so happily.

No thanks, gross. My roommate had one though, hence HAD. He gave it away of course. For free of course, since no one's gonna want to pay for that piece of shit lol. Always do research about your dog breed before you buy them. Not everyone is suitable for dogs of any kind, definitely not me. I just can't stand stupid and fishy smells, shedding, wiggle mating dances, selfish unloyal dogs who only think about themselves, etc etc. Because that's how most boxers are. I highly commend owners who have well behaved boxers though, because that is a true rarity and always takes way too much of training time to achieve, so good for them. But if you're ognna have a boxer and be lazy and not give it training everyday as a puppy, and neglect it and not walk it every day then a shitty boxer is what you're gonna get. I don't walk my maltipoo every single day, because he's small anyways. He gets enough exercise in my backyard with fetch, and he's super active. well, and plus he's a maltipoo. You don't need ot walk them as much as shitty high maintenance dogs like boxers lol. But of course, training is a must with ALL dogs.

    I had to put down my 10 year old boxer 2 weeks ago going into 3 weeks. He loved everyone once he got an opportunity to meet them. He loved to play with my other two small dogs and treated them with such care knowing he was so much bigger than them. The memories he gave me will never be forgotten. I can never replace him but I’ll be getting another one this week. I just can’t not live with one after having one for so long.

    Boxers are awesome! My old roommate had one, and I became her 'uncle' as it were...she was so sweet and a total badass! The day she finally reached the end of her road was incredibly sad for us...I went with him to the vet's office and was there when she was put to sleep. I'm not ashamed to say we both cried like little kids. That was years ago, and I still miss her.

    Grew up with several breeds of dogs from Terriers to Sheppard's to Labs but got my first Boxer 25 years ago and was absolutely hooked. Smart, loyal, strong and best of all they have the most character of any dog I've ever seen. The males are the clowns of the house and the females are the queens. And they never loose the sparkle in their eye that a puppy has. The only major drawback...they don't live long enough....I suppose none of our dogs do. Don't get me wrong any dog is a hero but Boxers are special.

      Todd Johnson: Sadly, dogs are suffering from TOO MANY VACCINATIONS...just like humans. They never got cancer and all these weird diseases(even pancreatitis)...UNTIL...their list of vaccines became ludicrous. Holistic vets AGREE that dogs do NOT need an annual rabies shot. Think of how many rabies shots they receive in a lifetime. I hate vaccines. Sorry for the rant, but people need to research this.

    We have a boxer named Drako who is 6 years old. We have had him since he was 5 months old. Everything that was said in the video about "living with a boxer" is the complete opposite of what our boxer is. His personally has not changed since he was 5 months. He DOES NOT bark (unless you are very actively playing with him). He does like to play but he gets bored with it fast and will go have a nap lol.He sleeps till 10am. No early morning wake up calls from him for pees. He only eats when he is hungry and will stops when he is full. Doesnt like to play fetch with a ball. He is very happy just laying on his bed with peanut butter in a kong. He only wants to go for walks when he wants to. if you take him and he doesn't want to go he will just stand there. he can be left alone with no problems at all ( he will just sleep on the couch) he loves kids and never jumps or anything- will just stand there and let everyone pet him. i could go on and on....lol. He is an awesome dog!! He does go everywhere with us. we plan our vacations around him so he can always come with us. He is a very good traveller. he has never gotten car sick-he just sleeps. We love him so much- we have been totally spoiled with having him as our dog and for that we spoil him!!!!

She actually just started 'telling me' by almost 'yodeling' at me that she wants to play. She doesn't bark either though. She'll give a couple of 'woof's' out in the yard if she see's someone but won't bark in the house. Drako sounds great. Always happy to hear from a Boxer owner that loves their pet like we do :)

    It always makes me happy to hear about boxers who live to a ripe old age. Mine have never lived past 10.5, and they are a short-lived breed generally. Mine all passed from cancer or heart problems, both of which boxers are EXTREMELY prone to.
    That being said, I will always have one. I will probably adopt adults for the future, though.
    My boxer that passed last year was more than a pet, he was my first child really. I still cry and miss him. We were very bonded and he was so in tuned with me that we could communicate solely with our eyes and facial expressions. For the 8 years I had him I never needed to take my depression medication. He was a magical soul.

    I can't tell you how amazing these guys are. I had a boxer growing up who passed, and then had one when I was in my early 20s and lived alone with my mini doxie. He slept next to my bed, on the couch with me, and followed me room to room. He protected me and my home when my neighbor went off of his meds and was stalking me. He and my doxie went everywhere with me. You can imagine the boxer sized hole he left in my heart when he passed away. It's been seven years and I still catch myself looking over the edge of my bed expecting to see him laying there. RIP Rocky💜 you were the best friend a girl could ever have.

    I would like it to be noted that every boxer is different from one another. And you can not say what one does another will do. Batman is my baby had him for six years and he is a sweet heart. He doesn't try to do a lot of the things you are saying that boxers do. In fact he is a lap dog, will sit with you for hours and just be happy to lay around with you. He actually doesn't bark and no his cords have not been cut. He just doesn't like to. He would be more willing to be petted by a robber than be on attack. And as far as his home goes. He makes his home where ever I am. Won't leave my side even when I put the leash down. I stop he stops I go he goes. He is my boxer baby, who sleeps with his head on a pillow next to me cause he wants to know I am okay. He is a sweet heart and I love him to death. He is also my PTSD service dog.

  • @VicariousAir
    @VicariousAir 5 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    I'll give her about a 99% accuracy on her description however, there are a couple of things that need to be mentioned. They are descended from Massifs and English bull dogs dating back 600 years. They are jumpers! I have video of mine jumping a 7 ft fence. Be prepared to correct people... I get asked often if he is a pit-bull mix or American Bull dog. He is a 100% registered Black Tie Boxer. They are VERY easy to train and if you establish dominance with them early, will listen and respond immediately. The best way to show dominance is to give and instruction. If they don't respond immediately, push their head to the ground and tell them to stay. DO NOT LET THEM MOVE! Stand Over them. You don't have to hurt them and NEVER swat your dog. It will only take a couple of lessons and a couple of corrective actions sessions to establish that dominance. Also, if snap your fingers when you tell them to sit, they will soon sit when you snap your fingers. I only need snap my fingers and point down and he will stop, sit and lay down.
    1. You need to run your hands over the dogs coat regularly to feel for any small cysts that develop. If you find a cyst, you should make an appointment to have it removed immediately. It helps reduce scaring and will likely keep it from spreading. Also, they love toys and really like to play tug of war (buy "Tuff Toys" otherwise the toy will have a very short life span. If you have a dog run attached to the house for controlled freedom and so you don't end up with piles in the yard, buy Zeolite to control odor. Zeolite is a natural mineral and is by far the best deodorizer you can buy plus it is not expensive (You will likely pay more for shipping than the product costs). Clean your dog run daily and spray it down regularly. These dogs are exceptionally special! They are like your children and need to be considered in that way. They are exceptionally protective. Don't use pet shampoo or baby shampoo! The best shampoo is Head and Shoulders... You should rinse them thoroughly.
    I love my dog more than I like people! If the day should arise that he must be put down, it will be the most difficult day of my life. Having said that, don't just drop them off and let the vet do it. It is humane but hold them. Let them fall asleep in your arms. Don't let their final moments be one of terror. They will look for you til the last second of their life.

    I love Boxers. They're my favorite breed followed close by Schnauzers and Rough Collies. Hate seeing them with clipped ears though, takes away from the goofiness and loveable nature of the breed.

    Your love of this breed is evident!! I have had 2 boxers and both have stole my heart. Every time i see one my heart melts. I will have a bigger home soon and if you are a breeder I would love to come visit you when the time is right. This breed requires certain people and the boxer is and always will be my breed.

    Boxers are my favourite breed. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful girl for ten years but sadly cancer took her a month ago. I will always be a boxer mom. Best family dogs ever 💜

    My boxer's name is Thor. He has white fur with a brown ear and some black and brown dots on his actual skin (like on his belly). He's always so excited for everything. He loves to give people hugs.. (no, he doesn't jump on people. He quite literally will stand on his hind legs and wrap his front legs are you) and he sleeps upside down so his legs are spread out, his cheeks are upside down and sometimes he twitches and "runs" or "barks" in his sleep. He's scared of everything too, and he's very curious aboit everything. (If you're walking near him with.. let's just say, a piece of paper. he'll back up and lean his head back and push she long floppy ears back and look scared and cute lol.) We didn't chop his ears off so when he runs, his ears fly in the wind. Sometimes his ears flop backwards and he looks so weird.. He loves to be pet basically anywhere. He's quite big though and thinks he's a lap dog. If you're sitting down, he'll probably sit on top of you..

      Candeii: Cute story...sounds a lot like the boxer I grew up with(except, his ears and tail were cropped). Boxers look threatening(especially those like my "Duke"...with a solid black mask). If people only knew how playful and friendly they are...and how they are easily frightened...by their own shadows. Duke WOULD go after ANY dog who wandered into our yard. He was very protective of "his kids." He'd even run along with us when we rode our bikes(but sometimes he'd try to bite the bike tires.) We added a little "peek-a-poo" to our family and Duke was fine with that...he just didn't want any strange dogs around...and he hated cats.

    We also got our first Boxer (Katrina) from a backyard/show breeder (we lied about wanting to show her). We had a somewhat similar situation when we went back to the breeders house to bring her home. The 'Mom' (Aiko) and 'Dad' (Mitch) were also on premises. The Mom and Dad were out in the yard with all the pups. The pup we were getting (Katrina) walked right up to her 'Dad' and bit him right on his "privates"! He jumped straight up in the air! He was perfectly calm with his little daughter and just gave her a sniff and they all continued to play. I could see that his temperament was good and had a lot of patience and that the little girl I was bringing home would be extremely confident. She turned out to be very much so. She turned out to be quite the 'Bully'. Very dominant with other dogs. She was also 80 pounds of pure muscle. And if you know Boxers, you know that is VERY big for a female Boxer. We also took home a very sweet 'deaf' White Boxer (Helga) that day. She followed and took after her sister. She was not as confident, but so good and so amazingly sweet. Very easy to train. I miss them both SOOOO MUCH! OTRB. . .

      I had 2 Boxers,and 5 Boston Terriers in my life. The Boston Terrier is a smaller version of a Boxer,in that they both have many of the same characteristics and behaviors.Both are Very terrific Dogs.
