Boxer Traits

[GLenna]

I just want to add my two cents worth. I thoroughly enjoy reading about all the different Boxers, my two are just the same. It's amazing how I can relate to all the funny, quirky little antics. I LOVE them dearly as they are always happy to see me and can always brighten my day.
Boxers are truly the dearest animals and they want nothing more than your love. kingicon

What may I ask is kidney beaning?

The best way I know to describe it is the way they move when they are excited that has you looking at their butt and face at the same time. I used to call it "the pretzel". Their body forms an almost perfect horseshoe and most of them start doing it as puppies. From what I understand, cocker spaniels also do it!

That sounds so cute! Thanks for the great explanation. Kidney Beaning...
Can't wait to experience my first boxer!!!

Nobody has mentioned the feet game. Maybe it is only in my family of boxers. They like to throw their front leg around
you as if to tackle but then mouths your foot. I have tryed to break her of it because she likes to see if she can get away with it when meeting new people. She could knock some one on there butt. All else falls true with the exception of gas and kidney beans.

Thus the name of the breed BOXER.

That one will be hard to break!

It is amazing all these different puppies with all the same atributes. Our Lucy is just about 4months old, and just the other day she made us laugh non-stop. It was about 90 outside and I was watering the lawn, placed the sprinkler down and turned around to find her trying to bite at the shooting water! The longer she played the more agressive she got tward the sprinkler, using her paws to try to stop the water as well as eating it!!

It is such a scream to read about these crazy Boo-Boos! If ours learns how to unbolt and open doors I'm going to scream. Lately Dempsey has been marching off with the metal spoon when I make his dog food, and the bucket I put it in, and he trys to knock the pot on the floor. Big mess big time.

My baby had the same traits listed as Cooper. She also likes to lick everything, particularly the dishes as I am loading the dishwasher. She will "box" with my husband when they are playing. And when she does something she knows is bad, she will crawl to you very low to the ground with those big eyes begging forgiveness!

One more I forgot to mention. The "smile", when she wants your attention she will just stare at you and her front teeth are "biting" her lip. It's the goofiest look I've seen from anyone! It's even funnier when it's just one tooth!
