This is an excellent book for new Boxer owners as well as the seasoned owner. There is so much information on acquiring and owning a Boxer for the first time. Being a Boxer owner I can say that the author has cover all there is to know about bring a Boxer into your home and raising it as a companion and a friend. Boxer are definately not for everyone and if you are thinking a getting one of these wonderful babies then this is a must read book.

There is a lot of information here. From the breed history, to training, to behavior tips, to choosing a Boxer, this is the book. There are few books that contain this much Boxer information. You can't go wrong with this title. The author has written this well, as it is an easy, enjoyable read.

Like most for dummies books, this is essentially a cut and paste of all of their other dog books with the word boxer inserted in place of dog. In a few cases it has stories of the writers experiences with boxers but this book is really nothing special. Try culture clash to get a better understanding of your companion.

I really enjoyed reading this book on Boxers. I am researching dog breeds before I commit to a new family member. There was a careful balance of enthusiasm for the Boxer and warnings of their specialized needs AND the responsibilites of Boxer ownership.
I especially enjoyed the observations he made between male and female boxers, puppy training, and problematic behaviors.
Even if I don't decide to own a Boxer in the future, this was an entertaining educational read that I would recommend to all.

Some good things to learn in the book. Do not really have anything else to say but had to write these extra words..............

This is a good overview of the Boxer breed - just read past the juvinile humor for the facts you want.

As a first time Boxer owner, I wanted to get familiar with what makes the breed different from other breeds. This book is very imformative and answers many questions I had and helps in so many ways. In my opinion "Dummies" books are always great, and Boxers for Dummies definitely continues the high standard. I would definitely tell other to be Boxer owners to get this book.

This text does a great job at identifying characteristic behaviors and struggles when raising a Boxer. Presents matters in an understandable format for ease by any dog owner.

This books helps you to really know if this is the perfect breed for you, how to pick a breeder, adopting the puppy and adopting it to your lifestyle. It basically covers the life of the boxer from before you take him home to his senior life.

If you are interested on the breed this is a must have!

The book about Boxers has lots of information about the breed. Those of us who are unfamiliar with the breed, gathered lots of things that will help us in the care and nuturing of this wonderful animal! Who knew that big old grizzly looking Boxer was a sweetheart, full of affection and devotion! Great reference book to have on handle, especially if you're rearing a pup.
