4. Boxer
This is another dog that gets a bad reputation for being a former fighter dog, but that’s yet another myth. when taken care of and nurtured, these boxers won’t just protect and love your kids, they’ll be the new comedians of the family. Filled with upbeat charisma and goofy sweetness, when trained right, these little guys will be your fearless protectors as well as a provider of laughs. They’re also short haired and quite easy to maintain.
