Sorry to hear about your dog..deer can be some mean assholes
Boxers are great dogs..they aren't for me tho..most I have seen or been around are just so hyper I don't really have the patience for it..as they get older I like them more cause they slow down..some
But yes they are both very smart and both have such amazing personalities that spread a wide range of characters

I know where you're coming from in the 'warm up' aspect. Windsor (my boxer) was probably about 12 months old when I adopted her and it took a little warming up. Not much though, it was a pretty good fit of the get go.You are correct though, boxers can be rambunctious when not in the presence of the 'pack leader'. They don't quiet have the composure of sheppards without some guidance.As far as Windsor I vs the mule deer: judging by the aftermath I doubt he'll ever jump a fence with a dog on the inside ever again assuming it's still alive.
