They DO have a lot of energy. Actually, in retrospect, I think the breed has become more docile in recent times (EVOLUTION). The boxer I had when I was a child was a lot different physically than the "modern" boxer, and he was considered a prime example for his day. He was much shorter and stockier, and probably ran to 60 pounds tops. My boxer today is waaaay taller and weighs in at a hefty 100 pounds of muscle. (This is probably a larger than normal dog of the breed) Also, my boxer as a child was a good dog, but much more aggressive. [I'm not a boxer expert, just know some stuff)



So in essence here Rich, what you're sayin' is that Boxers have become pretty much like MOST Americans now days...bigger, heavier and more "pussified" in general, RIGHT?!

(...though strangely NOT due to any common diet consisting of hormone-infused fast foods and a more sedentary lifestyle!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
