Reason #7: Your Boxer may start offering 'protection' for extra treats—sleep with one eye open if you forget the doggy biscuit.

Reason 11: Boxers are always picking fights with garden gnomes, and that's just unfair to the gnome population. Your backyard decor will never be the same.

Reason 14: They're hoarders. Say goodbye to playing fetch. Your Boxer will stash all the tennis balls, and you'll have to buy a new pack every week.

Reason 17: They'll give you judgmental looks every time you skip the gym. Your personal trainer can't compete with the constant, silent pressure of a Boxer's stare.

Reason 20: They're terrible babysitters. Expect to come home to a living room turned upside-down because your Boxer thought it was playtime all the time.
![](https://img.houndcove.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/boxers-20.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&w=840&ssl=1)
Reason 21: They're intellectuals. Forget about watching TV; you'll be too busy attending book club meetings for dogs where the topic is always, unsurprisingly, "Boxers."

![](https://img.houndcove.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/boxers-22.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&w=840&ssl=1)
Reason 13: They're natural-born gardeners. Expect to find your Boxer replanted in your flower pots because apparently, that's the best spot to oversee the photosynthesis process.
![](https://img.houndcove.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/boxers-23.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&w=840&ssl=1)
Reason 24: They're bed hogs. Forget about a good night's sleep; you're now living on the edge... of the mattress. Your Boxer will claim the middle as their rightful kingdom.
