We got a boxer because it was cute and the wife fell in love. We are not really familiar with the breed. He is doing great and is wonderful we were just wondering what to expect.
He is 12 weeks old now.

Are there any health concerns, things we should watch out for?

hello! my sister has a boxer named Champ. he will be a year old in April. He was a perfectly healthy dog...the only thing that went wrong with him was that he got a bladder infection. I'm not as familiar with the breed as my sister is but I think they are generally healthy dogs. Also, I know it depends on the dog but Champ is GREAT with kids! Boxers are pretty high strung but very loyal and loving (at least Champ is, anyway, but I'm sure yours will be to :) ). I'm sure you'll be very happy with your dog, just remember puppies will be puppies!! Hope everything goes well!!

We are really happy with him. We heard they were hard to house train but it only took a few days. We were very impressed. He is a sweet dog. I don't have to worry about much hair either.
