I seriously considered getting a boxer for a while. They're great dogs, and don't shed much. The only reason I didn't is because they have a reputation for not getting along well with other dogs. I've heard this from a couple people who have them. But if you don't think your dog would be in contact much with other dogs, I'd say go for it! I have a sister and brother-in-law who visit a lot with their choc. lab, plus we watch him a lot when they go away, so I didn't want to take the chance of having a dog that wouldn't get along with Dallas.
Good luck with it.

Guess I should mention I still haven't gotten a dog. But if/when I do, it'll be a boston terrier. Great with kids, don't shed much and supposedly not as hyper as most terriers. Plus they're a nice size; not too big, not too small.
