- -T:
- the dash ( - ) T at the end of an OFA certification number
means that the dog has a tattoo as a means of permanent identification.
The tattoo number is submitted on the OFA form.
- Thrash:
- when they lift their paws out of the water and thrash around
making a tremendous noise and sending water flying everywhere.
- Tongue getting stuck maneuver:
- licking and then pause in mid-lick, as though they just thought
of something and forgot they were licking; start licking with
these big huge swipes across your face. Then all of a sudden
in the middle of a lick they freeze, tongue still stuck to your
cheek.
- Trampling (trompling down the tall grass); the Comfy Dance;
Bed making ritual:
- the boxer turns around several times before lying down, an
ancient bed-making ritual to make sure they aren't going to lie
down on anything that might bite them, and get the grass all
flat and comfy; In one respect it is no different to us mere
humans fluffing up the pillows on the bed so that we are comfortable.
- Transition dog:
- a dog you own while waiting to own a boxer.
- Triple boxed:
- to be boxed by at least 3 boxer paws in the "unmentionables"
- True nature of a boxer:
- to guard it's family. To be.. friendly with strangers when
Mom/Dad is happy and show concern when she/he is not. To be..
fairly affectionate. To be..thinking, using it's brains. I love
to see a boxer who is poised with a question - their whole attitude
changes. To be..active. A boxer in motion is beautiful. Whether
it be walking, running or jumping. They're not couch potato's.;
Quote from John Wagner:
- "... (boxers) have developed a great mentality in a
powerful, beautiful animal. Everyone who comes to know the breed
is eventually far more impressed by his dog's devotion and understanding
than by its brawn and beauty."
- Tunnel Vision:
- What you get when you go into the back yard to see what the
dog was so interested in... digging a FOUR FOOT deep hole next
to your foundation.
- The Twist and Shout:
- the complement to the Kidney Bean Dance. You jump up, twist
out of the way and shout "You miserable pus bellied, foam
lipped, stub tailed, kibble gulping, bubble blowing, couch thieving
!@#$%^Boxers!".
