Boxer Drive

[BuckAndCalliesBro]

Hey now....I like pugs...as Eisenhower once said, "It ain't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog that counts"....ya gotta love that pugs seem to have no idea that they have such little chasis'....

I have been searching on the Internet for information on Boxers as boar hunting dogs -- their original function -- and I have found a couple of forums where a few individuals in Europe assert that the Boxer makes a great dog for boar hunting.  However, a few respondents who have Boxers claim that their own Boxers would not hunt if their lives depended on it.

My guess is that we find here a temperamental difference between Boxers from different regions.  I assume that Boxers used for SchH are probably good for boar hunting (plenty of breeds are, apparently) just because they are a little more 'drivey' in terms of prey drive and are a little 'harder'. 

(I posted this also in the thread on working Boxers....)
