I was just curious about this.I have never actually heard of anyone using a boxer for any type of working dog.I figured since they are a working dog I would ask this question.

Yeah, Bo works really hard..... at eating, sleeping, playing, and pottying.... LOL


No, really... I don't know of any one that does use boxers as working dogs.

AND MY ISIS IS TRAINING FOR AUTISM SERVICE DOG

AND MANY MANY PLACES USE BOXERS AS SERVICE DOGS OF ALL TYPES..WHEN LIZ GETS ON SHELL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT..GOOD QUESTION THOUGH

There are many Boxers that are service dogs, police dogs, therapy dogs, I know some that work cattle, and a few (including one of my grand-pups) that herd sheep (for sport, though, not as an actual job).  Most people don't have a need for a working dog these days, so the Boxer is not used as extensively for that purpose as they once were, but the ability is there and is used in many cases.

My Lilly is a Hearing Alert Dog.  She has been training since she was 4 weeks old (first thing she started learning was recall).  Lilly's breeder started her training and when I was blessed with her, I continued her training.  She is a "golden child".  She has saved my life several times.

BTW:
I am a professional trainer.
