Description:
Isn't Jet handsome? He is a beautiful color, all kind of red and brown. And what a face! I'm guessing that he is a Boxer/Shepherd mix, but truly I don't know. I think he is a great looking guy though!

Jet likes to be in the same room with you. He just follows you around and hangs out. He has not got into anything that's not his. He has stuck his nose in the trash a few times but all you have to do is say his name or no and he pulls it out. He really only messes with his toys. I am letting him up on the couch but not the bed. From what I noticed Jet only barks or growls when he hears a strange noise outside. We just tell him its okay and he stops. He loves to be talked to. He looks at you and wags his tail when you are talking to him as if he is listening. Last night he did something very cute. We set his crate up in the living room and when we were ready for bed we put him in it. We turned all the lights out and went into the bedroom. We noticed he had not laid down yet but figured once we turned the bedroom light off and went to bed he would go to sleep. Nope :)...as soon as we turned the bedroom light out he started crying and barking. So we broke down the crate and brought into the bedroom. As soon as we did that Jet went right to sleep. That's another reason I know he likes to be in the same room with you. He seems like a great companion dog. We have taken him on a couple of walks and he does well on the leash. He pulls a little bit but I think he will out grow that. I just think he is in a new area and excite about all the new smells.

Jet's overall demeanor is very mature and happy. He gets excited upon your return, going on walks, treats, and pretty much anytime you pay him attention. As said before he loves to hang out with you, whether watching TV, working on the computer, eating (begs a little but not an annoyance), etc. When you are eating he sits by you but keeps his distance and doesn't cry or make noises, just stares. He keeps to himself most of the time and plays with his toys. We have had no major issues with him that I can think of. Unfortunately, we have not been able to see him around kids, cats, or dogs. He does seem to bark and growl when he hears strange noises from outside. He almost starts to bark when he sees other people on walks but I think it's because of a new area and he may feel threatened. He is a great listener and learns quick. I think it would be best for him to be adopted into a family that has a back yard or at least somewhere they can throw a ball or frisbee with him. I think he would enjoy that and being so young could use the exercise. We always kept him in his crate at night and when we were gone during the day so I am not sure how he would be let loose in the house during those times. He is completely potty trained and he has never had an accident inside the house. I really can't think of anything else except that he is a great dog and wouldn't understand if he was not adopted.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Boxer's ancestors were two German mastiff type dogs, the Bullenbeiszer and the Barenbeiszer. They were later crossed with the powerful ancestors of the Mastiff and Bulldog. Early on, these dogs were prized for hunting, bull baiting, and for pulling carts. A bit farther down the family tree, Boxer ancestors became cattle dogs, and were used to round up livestock. They were also popular circus and theater dogs because they learned tricks so easily. Breeding was rather indiscriminate until the first Boxer studbook was started in 1904, stabilizing the breed standard. In spite of its German origins, "Boxer" is an English name that suitably describes the dog's punchy fighting style. Though early Boxers may have been quite ferocious, the breed today is a very gentle, loving family companion. Some of the Boxer's talents are watchdogging, guarding, police work, military work, search & rescue, competitive obedience, schutzhund and performing tricks.
