love boxers but they really are not the brightest are they

[philipattomic]

I beg to differ ;-)

You just have to know how to train them - they get bored easily and don't see the point of repeating things over and over. See some of Cherry's training videos - in particluar 'When she was good'!

She actually did catch her tail - at the expense of losing her balance!

@vasago12341 - Boxers are in top 3 smartest breeds of dog.

- remember, - dolphins love clowning around & having fun, but are frighteningly intelligent.

@Davidbasque15 well some boxer's with un-docked tails start chasing them and due to their large size they easily run into things, another reason is their tails are so thick, and wag so quickly when their excited that they easily knock things over. The only thing that's "for fun"(technically looks in my opinion) is clipping thier ears so that they point straight up, its usually done for show dogs and so that the dog looks a little more threatening to intruders, but in my opinion its unnecessary.

Why do some people cut boxer's tail? Is there any reason or it's just for fun?

All dogs chase their tales. You cannot watch them 24/7, but I accept your point that you should always do your best to keep an eye on them.

@philipattomic I have a boxer 'x' collie rescue boy. He has the mind of a working collie and the cheekiness of the boxer - it means hell try something without being asked and figure things out far too quickly! Scary combination LOL
