About Boxer
Boxers are intelligent and easy-to-train dogs. They can be quick-tempered and prone to resource defense. They need a lot of exercise and activity with the right amount of rest. Today, Boxers are rarely used as service dogs, partly because of the many health problems in this breed.

What makes HonestDog different from other platforms
Full transparency
We show what's on file: who the breeders are, how they work and which health records they've uploaded. That way you can form your own picture.
Verified breeders, open records
Every breeder on HonestDog has their identity and documents checked before their profile goes live. Health records they upload are shown on the profile, so you can see exactly what has been tested.
