Boxer Dogs Information - What Are Boxer Dogs?

Boxer dogs are great all around dog breeds, distinguished canine and the coolest, most lovable dog out there! Boxer Dogs are medium-built and strong breed that are so named because of its habit of standing on the hind legs to begin a fight and boxing with the front paws.

By nature, Boxer dogs are working dogs. Throughout history it has been trained as:

- hunting dog
- police dog
- seeing-eye dog for the blind
- guard dog
- circus dog
- courier dog on the battlefields during World War
I and World War II
- fighting dog in the once popular sport of dog fighting.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) categorizes dogs into 7 groups of herding, hound, non-sporting, sporting, terrier, toy and working. And the largest breed registered in the working dog category is the Boxer.

No doubt the Boxer Dogs make for great utility dog but the greatest advantage to owning one is that Boxer Dogs can be your most outstanding companion on four legs and great source of personal fulfillment.

By the way, the AKC registered over 150 different breeds totaling nearly one million dogs in 2003. To put that in perspective, the animal shelters in America rescue up to 12 million homeless dogs and cats every year and 25% of these are purebreds.

And you can add to the list...

The Boxer Dog's history could be traced back to feudal Germany, where it was a small hunting dog that could tenaciously hold onto a bull, boar, or bear till the master arrived. It was also a utility dog for peasants and shop owners, and even a performing dog in circus.

The Boxer Dogs as we know it today is a bigger breed - a mixture of the German Boxer with a taller, more elegant English import. The era of this modern Boxer began in the 1880s and became really popular in the United States in the late 1930s-1940s.

Handsome dog: Within the canine world, Boxer Dogs are medium-sized dog standing at 21 to 25 inches at the shoulder for a full-grown female, and weighs some 50 to 65 pounds. The male can be taller and 15 pounds heavier.

It has a striking good look with chiseled head, square jaw and muscled body that make for a very handsome silhouette.

The ears are cropped and erect that enhance its hearing - the Boxer most developed sense. It is always alert and vigilant, an instinctive guard dog.

The shortened muzzle makes hot and humid weather uncomfortable for the Boxer Dogs.

The coat is short, hard and smooth, and possesses a natural sheen that can be enhanced with rubdowns with a chamois cloth (especially after a bath).

The short coat cannot protect him well from extreme elements of the weather and thus Boxer Dogs should definitely not be kept outdoors. It is a housedog, sensitive to temperature extremes, does not enjoy the draft, summer heat or cold.

Boxer Dogs come in attractive basic colors of fawn and brindle. The fawn varies from a tawny tan to an especially beautiful stag red. The brindle (clearly defined black stripes on a fawn background) can be sparse, in between or dense.

A beauty standard for Boxer Dogs is that their white markings or "flash" should add to their look and may not cover more than one-third of the entire body. Some predominantly or all-white puppies (known as "check") may be born in a litter.

In the US, however, the American Boxer Club members are pledged not to register, sell or use these "whites" for breeding so as to retain the beauty of the true fawn and brindle colors in the breed.

Personality-wise, Boxer is a cool dog that will not bark without cause. Its expressive face - the furrowed forehead and dark, soulful eyes - is a charming quality that sets the Boxer apart from other breeds.

It can mimic the moods of its master and adopting one could bring you 9 to 11 years of joyful companionship. In exceptional cases the Boxer can live up to 15 years.

Boxer Dogs As Pet

Pet Boxer Dogs although low-maintenance, require your consistent attention, exercise, human interaction, consistent obedience training and lots of love. You cannot leave them to their own design for too long or they get lonely, bored and into trouble.

Being a big and strong dog as well as a highly intelligent one, Boxer Dogs need both physical and mental stimulations to keep them even-tempered and dignified while still keeping their impish spirit and fearless courage in tact.

All the best!!!

Warm regards,

Bryan Kinnear
A Boxer Dog Lover.

Training Your Dog to Eliminate Outdoors

The Equipment You'll Need

1. A Crate

Also known as a kennel or carrier (you see them at airports because they are approved for flight) They are either plastic with wire windows, or are all wire, these type can be collapsed down and transported more easily, therefore the wire style are my personal choice. They come in various sizes to fit all dogs (even Irish Wolfhounds) the tallest dog in the World.

Do you need one?

I believe they are almost a necessity in this day and age. If your dog lived in the woods it would seek out a den where it could sleep and be secure, free from predators and interference. Think of a crate as a portable den. Your dog will if its presented correctly think of the crate as it's haven, and in times of stress or tiredness or just time out will seek it's den to settle in peace and quiet.

2. Food Treats

Something your dog can consume quickly. Not a biscuit, which he must chew and then look for crumbs. I use dried liver or cheese.

3. A Lead and Collar

I dislike Check Chains, Haiti 's and Chest Harnesses they are not required in most cases. You can train nearly any dog to walk to heel within 5 minutes without the need to use any other form of restraint other than a good leather, nylon or canvass collar and a five-foot lead.

I have also invented and I am patenting a device called a Jingler. It works by distracting your dog momentarily from what it is doing,. The repetition of the jingle and either a change of direction or a command conditions your dog so that it associates the noise with a command. Though not necessary for crate training it is extremely helpful for many other training situations including walking to heel, nipping, jumping, and barking etc.

4. An Odour Eliminator

You can buy a commercial one or mix one part white vinegar to four parts water or I use biological washing liquid or powder which breaks down the fatty acids and proteins and removes the smell, If you can obtain it, a quick wipe over with surgical spirit afterwards finishes the job.

The Crate

Mothers keep babies in a playpen when he/she can't be supervised? Dogs are den animals. They will seek out a den to feel protected. It should be small and cosy, therefore do not buy a crate that is to big for your dog. However the dog should be able to turn round comfortably. Dogs will rarely soil their own beds therefore if you fill the crate with something like VetBed which can be washed regularly in the washing machine and dries very quickly, you will find that toilet training should be quick, painless, and easy. Do not put paper in the crate this only serves to stimulate the puppy to toilet in there if he is being paper trained. Cover the crate with a blanket to make it more den like.

Your first rule on toilet training is when your puppy or untrained dog is not supervised; he or she should be in the crate. Teach your dog to enter on command. Begin by saying, "Kennel" "Bed" or any word you prefer.

Place the dog in the crate, give a food reinforcement (a treat) and lock it. Wait 15 seconds and then release the dog and praise.. The dog will start to associate the crate with the food and feel it is a good thing. Work the dog up to an overnight stay. If the dog is noisy, rap on the top and say "Quiet". And never, ever let the dog out if he is noisy. You'd be reinforcing his Behaviour. Variable reinforcements worked better than fixed ones. When you go out, leave on a talk radio station in another room NOT the same room, Hearing voices will help your dog not to feel so alone.

Establish Meal Periods

If you feed and water your dog on a schedule, your dog will eliminate on a schedule. FREE FEEDING YOUR DOG WILL MAKE THE JOB OF HOUSE TRAINING MUCH MORE DIFFICULT...First, establish meal periods. three to four meal periods for young puppies and a single or a double meal period for adult dogs. The meal period will last for 10 minutes. During that time give the required amount of food and as much water as the dog wants. At the end of the meal period, remove the food whether or not the dog has eaten, unless instructed otherwise by your veterinarian. If the dog plays and does not eat, he will soon learn that the food will be taken away. This also helps to discourage picky eating habits.

Place Your Dog on Commands

Many dog owners inadvertently teach their dogs to eliminate indoors. Each time they take their dog outside they wait for him to eliminate. As soon as he does, they bring him in. Most dogs, especially young ones, like the sights and smells of the outdoors. They quickly learn that as soon as they eliminate, they are taken inside. They learn to hold it until they come inside to prolong the experience.

It makes better sense to train your dog to eliminate on command, especially if you must lead walk him. Take your dog to "his spot" each time. As your dog begins to urinate, choose a word and say it over and over as the Behaviour is occurring (I say "wee") do this each time your dog urinates. After several weeks of hearing "wee" as he urinates, it will eventually act as a trigger for the Behaviour. I use a different phrase for defecating. Each time your dog finishes, praise him while offering a food reinforcement (a treat). I use cheese puffed jerky or frankfurters.. When he has finished, take him for a walk as a reward! If your dog fails to eliminate in 5 minutes, take him inside crate him for a half-hour and then try again.

Use an "Instructive Reprimand" each time you take your dog outside say, "Outside". He will soon learn what outside means then, if the dog inappropriately urinates inside, say "Outside" and take him to "his spot".

"Outside" becomes an instructive command because it directs the dog to the appropriate elimination place and it is a reprimand because of the tone of voice you use as the Behaviour is occurring, thus acting as a negative reinforcement.

There is a device called a pee pole which is a pheromone impregnated device that is supposed to aid toileting I have mixed responses to this aid with some dogs it works well particularly if you want them to go in a particular spot. With other dogs I find they pull them up and chew them therefore they are useless in that circumstance

Insulating Your Dog Kennel

!±8± Insulating Your Dog Kennel

Whether your dog will be spending a lot of time outdoors in his dog kennel or just some time, you need to ensure that it is a comfortable environment, and that it offers plenty of protection from either extreme of weather.

Proper location of your dog kennel plays an important role in keeping it at a decent and bearable temperature for your pet.  Placing it so that it avoids the hot afternoon sun, and so that there are natural wind shields or breaks around help keep things comfortable.  So does facing the door of the kennel away from the direction you get most of your wind and rain from.  Aside from this, though, what else can you do?

The most recommended method of keeping your pet cool in summer and warm and cozy in winter is to insulate the kennel.  You can use the same materials to insulate your dog pen as you would use for your house. Some materials are easier to work with, and you may also base your decision on what to use on whether you are building it from scratch, or you're attempting to modify an existing one.

One of the more common materials used for this purpose is the fiberglass panels.  One con to using this material is that the fiberglass itself is very irritating should it get into eyes or onto skin. The fiberglass is normally sandwiched between two panels so that it doesn't come in contact with skin or eyes, but if your dog chews on things you may want to reconsider using this.  My pup gnaws on everything she can find, particularly when she's penned up for an afternoon, or a few hours, and I wouldn't risk lining her kennel using fiberglass.  But if yours doesn't have the bad habit of chewing, you may be fine to go with this type of insulation.

I've also seen cork board used quite effectively to provide decent insulation. It's a very soft board though, and delightfully tempting for furry friends to chew on.  You'd need to also cover this with a harder board paneling if you want to keep it intact.  Of course, it doesn't post the same problems if it somehow finds its way into your pet's mouth--but it's safer to cover it and keep it out of sight. 

If you've already built your kennel, or you purchased a pre-made one that wasn't insulated, there are things you can do to add it to the outside walls and roof.  Different material can be used for this, and you could choose depending on your budget and what is available at your local store.  Some suggestions for what to use include foiled tar paper or pre-colored plaster.  This may not look as aesthetic but it does the job quite nicely if need be.

Of course it is possible to purchase an already insulated pen, there are plenty available even for ordering online.  They are more expensive than the regular ones, but if time is an issue or if you are not able to insulate yourself, you might want to look into these and see if you can find something affordable. Whatever you decide, it is important that your dog kennel and run is comfortable for your pet.
