Woohoo!

But they can compete in ANY dog sport! That's the beauty of a boxer. Well, one of the beauties anyway

Personally I've found agility to be the most accessible activity, and its a blast! I think I'd give Schutzhund a try if there were any clubs participating in it around here, but that isn't the case. So agility it is!

Any canine sport that is lots of fun. Ours do Obedience and are training in agility. Good luck with your decision.

Gina loves working trials .. it incorporates, tracking, searching, agility, send outs and a bit of control.
