About the Book

Strong, smart, loyal, and self-assured, the Boxer is great with kids and makes a wonderful family pet. A typical boxer has boundless energy and curiosity and is a natural clown.

Luckily, those characteristics are balanced by the Boxer's intelligence and strong desire to please. Boxers excel at obedience training, hospital therapy volunteer work, and rescue work, and they make excellent watchdogs as well. Is this frolicsome clown the right dog for you and your family?
