Character and Temperament
Instinctively a
"hearing" guard dog, his bearing is alert, dignified, and
self-assured. In the show ring, his behavior should exhibit constrained
animation. Deliberate and wary with strangers, he will exhibit curiosity but,
most importantly, fearless courage if threatened. He
responds to friendly overtures honestly rendered. His intelligence, loyal
affection and tractability to discipline make him a highly desirable
companion and family dog. Boxers
who exhibit a lack of dignity and alertness, shyness or unwillingness to
be examined in the show ring should be excused.
The foregoing description is
that of the ideal Boxer. Any deviation from the above described dog must
be penalized to the extent of the deviation.
