Is it true boxer dogs are born with half a brain and that only works half of the time? My boxer pup is a cracker but is so stupid at times

No - he is a pup, and acts as a pup. You will be amazed at how smart he is as an adult - providing you enroll in a class & practice obedience. Boxers are used as guide dogs for the blind, and police dogs - not jobs for 'stupid' breeds.
A dog is a reflection of his owner - make the effort.

Boxers are recognized for being problematic puppies, but while they're known for being amazingly loving and nice family dogs. It is going to take numerous patience and CONSISTENCY. You have to make it clear early on that you are the boss and no longer the dog. It is major to do not forget that it isn't the canine, it's the way you control the canine, and this would be the case in spite of what breed you get. If you can maintain up with coaching, it'll definitely pay off considering they're cuddly, playful and loving. Nevertheless, there's another downside to boxers apart from their stubbornness, which is cancer. Boxers have a very excessive predominance for getting melanoma, which will also be steeply-priced and emotionally draining. I consider this is also whatever to do not forget in getting a dog. They don't have the longest lifespan, as i misplaced my boxer at best 7 years ancient due to lymphoma :[ even though boxers are very moneymaking when you put in the work, they do have this predominance for melanoma :/ something to take into account...

How cute! Boxers are adorable. Prone to cancers and allergies. Like all puppies, make you laugh.
As far as half a brain, etc., hope your only kidding there. Of coarse they have a full brain, it just needs to grow and to be stimulated and the pup needs to learn to make it work better.
have fun, I bet the pups adorable!

i dont think boxers are born with half a brain but what brains they do have they only use them half the time. it might take you a bit longer training it as thier brains are not properly formed untill thier about 3 years old this is why they act so dumb i have a 2 year old boxer and a 14 week old boxer

Boxers have a brain like any other dog. They aren't stupid! I worked with one in a training class, he was very sharp, and he was deaf! They are great family dogs, they just have a LOT of energy so make sure you train him and exercise him plenty.

These dogs look great and they have a unique sense of humour.
I know what you mean - They can be crazy. Truly mad!
But that's whats so great about them. They are full of energy and need tons of exercise. They are smart dogs though and have proven themselves in Agility training and have worked for the police and even has blind dogs.
You have a great pup - Probably Mad but great!

um no not at all. Some dogs can be goofy, and puppies in general can often be as they simply don't know better. If it only had half a brain that only worked half the time it would be dead.

Dogs are kind of like humans we have our smart times and our dumb times. All dogs are different because some kinds are stupider than others like a poodle is the smartest of all.
