are against it again in your lifetime, that is for sure; more chance of winning the lottery on a ticket you found in the street I reckon!
My boxer is great and also a great pain in the behind as he loves (certain) human company (although anyone who approaches him on his home soil will not be too happy - when I am in the grounds and he has not seen me enter, I hear his bark and look over to were he is and he looks very "alert" - he once took the coat sleeve off our district tax office assessor's coat becuase he walked in through the gates not drove in as he was told; dummy). Our boxer "Max" gets on well with one of our neighbours and when he sees him going for a walk along the river, he does what he can to get out (we have walls and fencing all around, but he finds small enough gaps sometimes which I then have to find and fix - Max's pen is so well fortified now because he could jump over the 2m wire cage wall). Max is fine with the neighbour and follows him home then, but the problem comes with the other neighbour's (fortunately) aging mastive as my boxer really, really wants to sink his teeth into this horse. So I have to go and get my boxer than try to get him past this mastive who jumps up at the wall / fencing of my immediate neighbours.
But my boxer is great with our kids and the most loyal of all of our dogs. When I walk down to the vegetable garden to do some work down there (don't worry, I do not do too much, we have a gardener thank God) he always sits, watches and waits, apart from when he tries to jump the 4 meter wall to get at next door's mastive of course (it is 4 meters our side but on their side there is one small area where it is only 1 meter high and this mastive looks over and lears at my boxer). If any of the other dogs are stupid enough to growl at me, my boxer literally will tear them apart. We have a huge Pyrenean mountain dog "George" who Max allowed to be the "boss" (he just ignored George) until the day he growled at me and you should have seen Max fly. It was all I could do to save George; it cost me 600 Euros in vets / vets hospital bills! We did get George snipped at the same time for that though. Max is so b'dy fast he goes for and actually has been known to catch birds. :-)
