If you do can you make sure you get one with a tail! I think it is illegal to chop them off now.

A relative used to keep boxers. Excellent loyal dogs in general but don't much get on with visitors until they become accustomed.

I've known people who've kept them, and they all seemed to like them a lot.
Most now keep smaller dogs though, it seems.

I had a boxer/alsatian cross years ago - beautiful dog but a lot like a horse= speed of a race horse, strength of a cart horse and brains of a rocking horse!! 
Loved him to bits - he would happily run all day - often whils attempting to cary along logs or boulders as big as himself
He was always very good with kids/babies but always thought the doorbell was for him

A friend has two - they're good natured, but are prone to heart disease, their first one died of a heart attack, which is quite common.

Mine used to nearly drown himself looking for stones thrown into the sea - desperately sticking his head under the water to sniff them out!

I had one as a teenager and loved her to bits. As said above daft as a bat but so friendly.
Also I know people say it is cruel to dock the tail but it can be best for the dog if you get it done as their tails are so strong they can do a lot of damage to them if they are left.

Fab dogs when trained, but very boisterous and need lots of exercise, but they do really behave well when trained.
The folks at the caravan next to my MIL's have two boxers, lovely dogs, and they get so excited when they see our kids, but they do as their owners say..... you can see it..."oh kids can I play"....
Sloppy dribbly things though......you'll get dog spit everywhere

Never had one, but known two people that have.
The first said his was as mad as a box of frogs, but a good loyal pet, although prone to chewing.
The second person was warned by the first (we were all colleagues)...don't get one unless you're commited to spending a lot of time and effort on it.
He got one....mad as a box of frogs
. Used to carry massive lumps of wood and stones everywhere, get in the cupboards and eat the contents, it even ate a frozen chicken one Saturday night.
Mental....but phenomenal characters.
