The Boxer descends from mastiffs, so fierce and fight-prone, stubborn and ignoring commands when angry.

Fit and healthy, not picky, easy to keep except for big appetite and exercise needs.

Shipping has a weight limit of 20 kg; over that, no shipping, so call ahead. Prepare the vaccine card, health certificate, and dog license, and ship at least 21 days after vaccination.
