Well if anyone wants to know about boxers and using them for hunting hogs then you can ask me. I have beeh hunting with dogs for 4 years now and I have a 4 year old male brindle boxer who weighs around 85 pounds and he has caught over 800 hogs in the last 2 years. He is a fine catch dog and he has been catching hogs since he was 6 months old. He is purebred and AKC registered. The biggest hog that he ever caught was 379 lbs. He caught that boar by himself not to mention. The worst cut he has ever had was a 1 inch cut on his chest. He is a great family dog and house broke. I've never owned a better dog in my life. I also have a 2 year old male black boxer. He is also AKC registered and catches hogs any size and any time. He just turned 2 but he has been on about 50 hogs already including a 288 pound russian that cut him up good. He is a great dog and he does everything I ask. He is very energetic and doesn't get tired. He loves tracking hogs too. Both of these boxers do the job and always bring the hogs down. I never have to worry whether they are going to lose the hog or not. Now, I have a ten month old dogo female that hunts with them and she has been catching since she was 3 months old. I also have a 4 month old dogo male and he is catching too. Personally, boxers and dogos are my favorite breeds. I've owned curs, catahoulas, border collies, heelers, anatolian shepherds, pit bulls, poodles, great pyranese, german shepherd, and a jack russel, but my boxers and dogos are my favorite. They have good atttitudes, are very very gritty, have lots of game, very protective, well mannered, can take care of themselves when it comes to other dogs, and are very loyal. I know people don't hunt with boxers but I do, and let me tell you. If you get the right one they can sure be a great hunting dog. My dogs also hunt coons, bobcat, coyotes(every now and again after I shoot them), fox, and ringtails when I take them varmint hunting. I know first hand that boxers can be very good hunting dogs. They are the best I've ever had.
