From Worker, Pana, IL
I love boxers!!!  I have three of them. They are very special animals.  Boxers need a lot of attention.  They are a very emotional breed.  If you don't spend a lot of time with your dogs', this is not the breed for you.  They are a great dog if you want a best friend, or even three of them!!! :)
