I have lots of friends with boxers. They are very clownish and always make you laugh. However, they need to be taught at an early age not to jump up or bite. I'm sure you know how those boxing paws can be lethal weapons! And when riled up, a boxer can get very bite-happy and not realize that they might hurt someone. They don't bark alot, but they make alot of snorting and growling/grumbly noises.
