I can't really tell if these dogs are mean or not. They display play postures as they bow down as it praying with their front legs. I'm thinking that's a sign of wanting to play. They probably are bored to death and want something fun to do. I don't see the owner out playing with them and they constantly are fighting with each other in a playful manner. They are both males. And males need to roam and find mates unless they have been fixed. So I guess that they are old enough to be sexually mature and they must be frustrated. They are now chasing cars that drive by the house. No car can drive by without them running across their front yard trying to chase the cars within the confines of the invisible fence line that runs across their front yard next to the road.
I've seen films of dogs being used by coyote hunters. The dogs run out and bring the coyotes back in range of the hunter and the hunter shoots the coyotes. Go to U Tube and do a search for Coyote hunting dogs or something along those lines. It's pretty cool how these trained dogs can lure the wild coyotes into the hunters gun sights. The dogs usually attack the dead or wounded coyote immediately after it's shot by the hunter. But I learned that these wild coyotes are smart and really fast. They can outrun these domestic dogs with ease and the coyotes seem to be just looping along without much effort. The coyotes just bounce around on the ground with ease. The domesticated dogs with shorter legs seem to be running for their lives with the coyotes easily keeping up with them. They chase each other back and forth. First the coyote is on the attack and as they near the hunter the domestic dogs get braver and start chasing the coyotes away from the hunter. As this goes on back and forth the domesticated dogs lure the wild coyotes closer and closer to the hunter and then the hunter opens fire and shoots the coyotes. This is a very effective method of getting rid of coyotes. The coyotes are very territorial and will continue to chase the domesticated dogs even coming within 50 ft of the humans at times. I've seen U tube videos of this and it's interesting how it works.
Well I did get off topic again. But if you want to see these films get on google and do a search for coyote hunting dogs and see what you can find.
I'm ok with these boxers as they warn me if anything out of the normal is in the back yard or neighborhood. And they don't really seem to be mean. They don't bark unless their is something actually out in the yards. Unlike the numerous other small dogs in the neighborhood that bark all the time at nothing. I have neighbors with miniature dachshunds and another one with a small yorkie or chi Wawa. These little dogs are always barking and it can get annoying at times. People need to train their dogs not to bark all the time. I've had German Shepherds over the years and I always spent time with them and trained them well. They would bark if something was coming around but I could control them and make them stop barking with simple voice command. They just have to learn that you mean it when you tell them to stop barking. Or else they will get a whack on the nose or a smack on the butt with a folded up news paper. A simple flip of the fingers across the bridge of the nose usually gets their full attention. They stop barking when I did that. It stings them a bit but does no real damage. But it makes them listen to what you say. But you have to start the training process when they are still pups. German Shepherds are very smart dogs.
At least the big dog is gone. Those people moved away and took their dog with them. Check out this picture of the dog inside the car. The link is below: The dog I'm talking about is the light tan one on the left sitting inside the back of the car. Second row of pictures on the left. What breed it this?
