My Uncle Max the Boxer!

I wanted to share with you some pictures of my Uncle Max.  He is a boxer dog!  Max was born December 29th 1999 so that makes him 12 years old.  Max has been around some time now and had a great life.  He's one of the most loyal, disciplined and loving dogs I know.  Max recently had some health issues, but thankfully he's doing ok now, he is getting old but I hope he continues to  be the happy Boxer he is.  When I grow up (if I ever do) I'd like to be just like him..  Pictures and Breed information below.

 

About the Breed


The Boxer is happy, high-spirited, playful, curious and energetic. Highly intelligent, eager and quick to learn. The Boxer is a good dog for competitive obedience. Constantly on the move, bonding very closely with the family. Loyal and affectionate, Boxers are known for the way they get along so well with children.  This breed is noted for courage and make great guard dogs. Boxers have a wide use in military and police work. They are extremely athletic, sometimes even in their old age. This dog needs to go on a daily pack walk. Daily mental and physical exercise is paramount. Without it, the Boxer will become high strung. This breed requires a dominant owner. Training should start young and be firm and consistent. The objective in training this dog is to achieve a pack leader status.

Butler hugged her dog and said: "I love you."
