Just how would you train him not to hurt these little things? He'll be 3 in Sept. I've had him about a year. I had 2 boston terriers at the time, and he loved them, maybe because they were here first.

No Boxers are not killers. Over the years my Boxers have had some pets of their own. Several of mine would clean the faces of my hand fed 8 day old Cockatiels after eating. They also slept with Cockatiels, Mynahs, and Quaker Parrots on them. I had many that loved Gerbils and let them run all over them. Right now my three Boxers have 2 Guinea Pigs and Cockatiels as pets. My Stormy would lay outside and wild birds would land on his legs and peck at his nails and hair. His tail went a hundred miles an hour. We were at the park once and someone had left a big pile of peanuts. I had 3 Boxers with me and we walked over within 2 foot of the squirrel eating the nuts and watched him. Animal Control went by and yelled I don't believe what I am seeing. As a kid my Mom would get so mad at our Boxer because she would bring garden snakes in the house to play with. She never hurt them but my Mom did not like running into her playmates in the
house.

Wow, that's awful, are these dogs killers? Satch tries to kill everything but other dogs. He kills bees, birds, flies,cats ( I don't let him near them) they torment him from the outside of his fenced yard, thank God he doesn't realize he could get out if he wanted to.

My 90 lb big guy has come charging into the house and nearly taken out my knees on several occasions. I've learned to stand behind the door. The worst injury happened after we first rescued him and we were tying him when we went outside until we could determine if he'd take off. One day, I'd just got the hook onto his collar. He saw a chipmunk and bolted. I couldn't move fast enough to get the rope from around my ankle. This was the result (not for the weak of heart :-)

Lesson learned. They're big pups and don't always know their own power. I could tell he felt really bad and just didn't understand why mom was screaming.

What is cute in a puppy and maybe acceptable with a small poodle (because they can't hurt you as much or be as destructive) is not even a little acceptable in a dog hitting 50 or more pounds with a lot of muscle mass behind them.
