I am not judging truly not judging, but it seems like you are luke warm on training in a kind of disciplined kind of way.
Boxers are very smart, but take at least 3-4 yrs to settle down. That is what I know about them.
They are very high energy dogs. And need to get that energy out on walks, play, retrieve etc.
Sorry don't know about their prey drive, or other things, such as standing down a coyote with their smell alone. |
I like Boxers but don't know to much on there smarts? I just read they are average. I grew up with American Bulldogs and Hound Dogs. I can pretty much train any dog Basics. Hound Dogs are very stubborn. I would get a American Bulldog but where I live Im not allowed to have any type of "Bulldog" for insurance purposes. That applies to Rottweilers and Akitas also. Those would be my top 3 also. So unless I move which isn't happening yet. I'm getting another breed. I'm not worried about Coyote's I made my place pretty secure. And if they did get onto my property they would simply be done.I can handle a Boxer energy. Just a Border Collie is really high energy. I see them at the dog park they will go for 2,3,10 hrs. I see Boxers also not so much and the ones there are pretty dumb. But I contribute that to the Owner.
I train Moki with strict discipline. Like if he were a big dog. I come in the house he won't bark he will sit and wait till I give him the okay to come to me. He wont eat till I say its okay. Won't go out the door till I say Okay.Sounds cruel but thats how you keep your dogs from getting separation anxiety. A Yokie will run you all over and they will become spoiled yappers. But I also give him cuddle time also JME
