What Boxers are like to live with

The Boxer is a German breed, descended from the Bullenbeisser and thought to have been crossed with the Bulldog.

The same page notes the breed is an excellent guard dog and has worked as a tracking dog and in the armed forces.

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Boxers on this page are with Many Tears Animal Rescue (1) and West Wales Poundies Dog Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

How much exercise does a Boxer need?

More than two hours a day, according to The Royal Kennel Club. It lists the Boxer as a large breed best suited to a large house with a large garden. Dogs Trust says Boxers are at higher risk of heat stroke, so take care with exercise on warm days.

Are Boxers good family dogs?

The Royal Kennel Club describes the Boxer as "much loved as a family companion", but every rescue dog is an individual. Ask the rescue whether this dog has lived with children and what kind of home they think suits it; their assessment matters more than the breed.

Are Boxers good with children?

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 2 of the 2 Boxers listed in and around Swansea as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
