ArchAngel Boxers & 
The Children They Love


Their isn't a breed that can be trusted more with children. The Boxer is known for it's inate ability to judge the age of the child and they take great care when playing with them. Beau is my 4yr old Kaleb's Dog. They run and play until they wear eachother out. They RUFF house together to the point I think I need to separate them but they both go back for more. I always joke that their isn't another breed of dog that could keep up with my son and not one I would trust with him more. My daughter Kailey is 7 and her baby is an 8 month old brindle girl.  We go to conformation classes together and Glory looks up to her like she is her whole world. Not all Boxers are like this and a exuberant  puppy can often inadvertantly knock over an infant However, my son learned to walk with his puppy. Just remember to teach your children how to act with their furry friends and train your puppy how to behave with your children and you will have an inseperable pair.

Tips for a Safe & Happy Home with Children & their Furry Companions: 

Do explain to your child that since dogs can't talk like we do, they communicate in different ways, such as facial expressions, body posture, or barking. Your child should learn to be sensitive to the dog's behavior. 
Do demonstrate how to interact with the dog. Show the child how to pet the dog nicely, to give the dog some space if it gets anxious, and how not to pull the dog's tail, or ears, or poke its eye. Carefully explain that a dog is not a toy. 
Do make sure your dog has basic obedience training. The dog needs to know what is expected of it, and you need to establish a form of communication with your pet. Consulting a qualified obedience instructor can be helpful. 
Do be consistent in all teaching endeavors. 
Do supervise all puppy-child interactions. The adult in the household is the responsible party to be sure interactions are fun and mutually respected. 
Do oversee the dog's care and well-being at all times. 
Don't  expect any dog to tolerate ear tugging, tail pulling or the like. Intervene if play gets rough or out of hand. 
Don't  force responsibility on the child that he or she is not ready for. The dog will suffer the consequences of being neglected, ignored and not properly care for
