Which dog breed is right for you?
The Boxer was developed in Germany in the late 19th century from the now-extinct Bullenbeisser — a powerful hunting mastiff — crossed with English Bulldogs. Standing 21.5–25 inches tall and weighing 50–80 pounds, the Boxer is a medium-to-large, well-muscled dog with a distinctive square head, undershot jaw, and alert expression. Their short, tight-fitting coat comes in fawn and brindle — sometimes with white markings — and requires very little grooming beyond occasional brushing.
Boxers are playful, energetic, and utterly devoted to their families — they are often called the "Peter Pan" of dog breeds because they maintain their puppyish exuberance well into adulthood. They are exceptional with children, combining patience and protectiveness with a love of play that makes them natural family dogs. Boxers are alert and courageous, making them effective watchdogs, but they are also clownish and affectionate — they're famous for their "kidney bean" wiggle of excitement.
Boxers bring boundless energy and unconditional love to every family — browse adoptable Boxers on Puplister and find your playful companion.
The Treeing Walker Coonhound was developed in the United States from Walker Foxhounds in the mid-20th century, selectively bred for their exceptional ability to trail game and "tree" raccoons by chasing them up a tree and baying until the hunter arrives. These elegant, athletic hounds stand 20 to 27 inches tall and weigh 50 to 70 pounds, with a lean, muscular build and the classic tricolor pattern — white, black, and tan — reminiscent of their foxhound ancestry. Their short, smooth coat is dense and protective, well-suited for long hours working through brush and rough terrain.
Treeing Walker Coonhounds are confident, intelligent, and affable — possessing a friendly, sociable nature that makes them enjoyable companions both in the field and at home. They are gentle with children, typically welcoming to strangers, and usually get along well with other dogs, especially those they've been raised with. Their hunting instincts run deep, however, and they can switch from couch potato to tireless tracker the moment an interesting scent crosses their path.
Treeing Walker Coonhounds bring athletic grace and a sweet disposition to any home — explore available listings on Puplister.
