Is the Boxer right for you?
The Boxer is a large breed from the Working group, originally from Germany. It typically weighs 50–80 lb and lives 10–12 years. Known for being playful, loyal, bright, it has high energy and moderate shedding, and generally does well with families, kids.
Match the breed's energy to your lifestyle: a high-energy dog needs an owner who can meet that activity level. Factor in grooming for the shedding level, budget for food and veterinary care, and always meet a dog in person before committing.
Figures are typical breed-standard ranges; individual dogs vary. Not a substitute for advice from a breeder, shelter, or veterinarian.
