This is our extremely silly Boxer, Zoe, with Moosie using her rump for a pillow! She is the most hyperactive dog I've ever met, but the's also incredibly affectionate and sweet, and is a total clown. She loves to play and would be happy if she could run at full speed all day long!

Steve was at the nearby hardware store a few years ago when he called to tell me there was a litter of Boxer puppies there and we simply must have one, so he brought me back to see them and the smallest puppy was who I fell in love with. Zoe is still a bit small but she only recently stopped growing! We don't know anything about her parents except that they are purebred, and we were happy they only cropped her tail and left her ears alone!

The Boxer was bred in Germany in the late 1800's as a military dog, where it was used for guarding, attacking, delivering messages, and as a pack dog. Today, it's known as a wonderful companion, family and guard dog, and is often seen in agility, obedience and flyball events.
