Boxer Traits

[Asta]

Sara has almost all of the above. In addition climbing on top of peoples lap and resting her head on their chest. Jumping around like crazy whenever someone comes home (best welcome-home ever!). Walking around, being in the way when people are rushing being jealous with our horses and getting them to play with her, she nibbles at their feet and they charge at her, it's the funniest thing you'll ever see

I do feel that boxers are some of the happiest, most loving animals and I will miss our Sara dearly, she has to go back to the breeder because we're all allergic to her

Robyn - you are right on the money! Jake has all the same characteristics as Cooper. I love when he lays on his back, or when he rests his head on me. The random zipping around the backyard is the one that cracks me up the most! The Woo Woo Song is second, although he only does that for my husband (his "playmate" ).

Maggie does the jackhammer as well. She also does the tumblesault thing a lot.

My boys have done all of the above and they also lean their whole bodies against you and stand between your legs.

What a good description, the jack-hammer. I never knew what to call it.Newman always sleeps under the covers. What is the WooWoo song? I'm wondering if it is their whining?

[Kira's Mom]

Most of the time Kira has to have a pillow to put her head on to sleep at night. Usually I have to share mine with her. She also puts her paws on our shoulders and gives us boxer kisses.

Jules, Harley's "Woo Woo song" consists of him flattening his mouth into a long line and making a moaning, whiny sound. It really does sound very much like woo woo. He's also learned to say Momma while making this noise. When he starts doing it (usually when he wants to go out) we keep telling him to say momma and, eventually, the noise he makes sounds exactly like Momm-
ah!

LOL, one of Amy's nicknames is Miss WooWoo When Carl gets home from work she kidneybean's and woo's at the same time. The others just kidneybean but they woo woo at different times I wonder if we could get woo woo in the dictionary? I think Brenda's description is just perfect.

[Marlin]

definitely all of the above. Also they are such lap babies, if not trying to sit on your laps, they sit on your feet. Thanks everyone for your input! Very interesting, and it sounds like they all try to be human!!

Definitely all that, especially the kidney bean, the frog dog position, getting in your lap, the snorting, and laying on back (usually only when chewing on something). Some other things are stealing/ wanting everything you have, playing keep away, and getting into everything. Basically just being big clowns!
