Nigel
Name : Nigel
Breed : Boxer
Why you first choose Akuna Care?
It was recommended by friends.
Why you continued to use our service?
Nigel was only six months old the first time he went to the kennel, but was obviously so happy and content and since becoming Akuna Care, he is always keen to leap out of the car to go inside.
He has so many activities at Akuna Care that he sleeps for 24 hours when he gets home and even all the way home in the car.
What is your favourite Nigel story?
Having always had Labradores I was not prepared for the energy and enthusiasm Nigel had for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE!!!

Boxers are incredibly energetic and take a long time to grow up.
I have one really dear friend who unfortunately is afraid of dogs and has not been to our house since Nigel drooled all over her and was just to much - that was 4 years ago.
After reading on the 'Boxerworld' website - a questionaire on whether a Boxer is the right dog for you went on to say this

dot They dribble or drool
dot They snore
dot Although short hair they loose a lot of it
dot They are inside more than outside dogs
dot Desire constant contact with people
dot Have a guarding tendancy
dot EVENTUALY grow up
dot Very active and boisterous

I read this to my husband, who married me in spite of Nigel's behaviour and he said "So there isn't anything wrong with him, he's just being a boxer".

I wouldn't swap him (Nigel that is) for the world and would get another Boxer but would probably be a bit firmer (training wise) with him from the beginning.
