Absolutely! I've known a LOT of Boxers as Therapy Dogs, including a
few of my own. Also know of a lot on other lists and so on.
Get your obedience classes down good with a good training center/club
and get your Boxer's Canine Good Citizen award and take a class for
therapy dog training. Boxers love doing therapy work. Heck, Boxers
are a working breed so they like working at most any job. I've even
got one who is my Guide Dog for the Blind and Visually Impaired. He
is my second Boxer Guide Dog.
