A costume should not inhibit your boxer's ability to breathe and bark
The costume should not obstructs his or her vision
Dogs should never be left without supervision in a costume
The role of Toto, the male dog in the Wizard of Oz was actually played by a female Cairn Terrier named Terry. Cairn terriers are known for their brightness and cuteness. That, combined with their small size, made the breed perfect for the role.
Always monitor your boxer for bitten pieces of the costume that may trigger choking (in example: buttons, elastic, paper rubber bands, or other materials)
Affix reflective tape onto boxer's costume if you will be out after dark
Never leave your boxer unsupervised in a costume.
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.
As cute as the idea of taking your boxer to trick or treat with the family may be, the event can trigger anxiety or fear.
To avoid any potential negative encounters, keep a leash on him and be mindful of anything they try to eat during the Halloween stroll.

The name Pug is believed to have derived from this dog's resemblance to the pug monkey. That also fits the breed in other ways. Pugs tend to be curious and mischievous. They always seem to have a look of mischief and fun on their face, just like a monkey.
The most socially oriented boxers may not be ready for the entourage of children during trick-or-treating hours. To prevent any unforeseen situations, keep your boxer in a separate room. For starters, the rampant traffic of strangers may overwhelm a boxer. Not to mention, some children are afraid of DOGS and other pets.
Finally, if your boxer breaks free, make sure he or she is wearing a collar with an ID tag or other proper identification.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the smallest dog on record was a yorkshire terrier in Great Britain who, at the age of 2, weighed just 4 ounces. However, the chihuahua is generally the smallest breed of dog.
