She is a beautiful pup, and we hope if you have your mind made up, she is a good girl, and the vet does the job carefully and well. Wouldn't want that sweetie to be in an unnecessary pain.

I'd say it's too bad people in your area think Boxers are mean, but as you have her to be your alarm system days when you are sleeping off your shift, perhaps it is just as well that your neighbors are "deluded" in that case. The boxers I have been know were dangerously enthusiastic at times, but that's about it!

Thanks everyone, for stating opinions but keeping things civil.
