The only problem Diesel has with babies is that is tongue takes up their whole face! The kid usually ends up drenched if we don't stop him in time. He loves the little ones

My five moth old fawn coloured boy is really good around kids on the whole. He and my kids love one another the only sort of issue is that when the kids are playing with him they keep holing his toys above their heads which leads him to jump and hence occasionally knock them over. What really impressed me was the other day at the park this little boy and his dad came over to pat the dog and the next minute the boy is punching Ben. He didn't even flinch he just stood there and took it in his stride then looked at the boy as if to say another pat would be nice!especially if i can get a lick in.

I have 4 nieces and one nephew (4 of them under 4 years old) and my Couture is wonderful with them. She follows me around, and the kids follow her. Any time she stops all the kids give her a hug and she loves it. The only problem is that the little ones are at the perfect "face licking" height and get more kisses than they know what to do with.

I've even looked down to find Couture lying under my chair with Hogan (2 years old) sitting right in front of her pulling on her ears over and over. She tolerated it like a true Boxer - with a lick to the face from time to time...

this is actually specifically why we got a boxer.. my son was a little over a year old when we met our friends boxer who was three months at the time and was an absolute sweetheart to Diego... after that we did alot of research on boxers and came to the conclusion we wanted one... not going to lie, he is a pain in my butt sometimes but Jasper has been nothing but amazing with his buddy... so cute because now every morning our son HAS to be the one to let him out of his crate before we all go downstairs

long story short, i completely agree boxers are great with kids
