Invisible electric fences can work with some boxers. However, they are not a good substitute for an owner's supervision. There are several reasons for that.
The largest breed of dog that is recognized by the American Kennel Club is the Irish Wolfhound, which stands thirty to 30 to 35 inches at the top of the shoulders and weighs 105 to 125 pounds.
First of all, most invisible fences work because they detect a signal from a special collar on the boxer. If the collar falls off or the batteries in the collar die without the owner's knowledge then the boxer can easily escape.
Labrador retrievers, as their name indicates, were bred to retrieve things. However, most people think of them today as retrieving sticks, or other similar objects. In reality, they were originally bred to help fishermen by retrieving fishing nets!
Another problem is that some boxers may see something outside the fence line that gets them overly excited, such as a small animal. The boxer might break through the invisible fence line when they are in an extremely excited state and then, after the feeling wears off, they might not want to come back because of the invisible fence.
Many people think that the kerry blue terrier is the national dog of Ireland. Actually, the Irish government never has given this designation to any breed. Michael Collins, one of Irelands most famous patriots, introduced legislation to elevate the Kerry Blue, or the Irish Blue Terrier as they were then called, to the national dog of Ireland. After his murder, the interest in the initiative was lost.
Believe it or not, the most common problem with electric invisible fences is not trying to keep the individual boxer in. The biggest problem is actually trying to keep other things out. Since the invisible fences work based on an electric impulse from one particular boxer's collar, they do nothing to keep other neighborhood DOGS out of the yard. For that matter, they also don't prevent wildlife, such as raccoons or coyotes, from coming into your boxer's environment either.
In the latter part of the 18th century, Holland was split between the partisans of the Prince of Orange and the patriots, and the patriots were led by Kees de Gyselaer, who owned a dog named Kees. Kees gave the Keeshond breed its name and became the symbol of the Patriots.
Some places don't allow standard fences, such as wood or chain link. In those instances, an invisible fence may be the only alternative. If your boxer is going to be supervised in the yard then an invisible fence may be fine. However, there is no substitute for a standard fence when it comes to keeping other animals out. If you can have a standard fence then you should have one. That will protect not only your boxer, but also the rest of the family.
