Derby is a sweet, playful, and affectionate little guy who adores his people. He starts his mornings with a burst of joy, proudly parading around with his toys before settling in for a good sunbathe by the window. After a day of walks, playtime, and showing off his signature “Turbo Derbo” zoomies, he’s happiest curled up in your lap, living up to his nickname “Little Love.”
Derby loves being close to his humans, so much so that if you’re in the kitchen, you’ll often find him happily stretched out at your feet, just wanting to be near you. He does incredibly well with adults and is on the calmer side for a boxer. He is good with children but with younger excited kids, he can be a little more enthusiastic, so continued work on his doggy manners will help him shine even more.
Derby is also working on his leash manners. He can get leash frustrated out of pure excitement when seeing other dogs. While Derby is calmer with humans, he does get very excited and sometimes overstimulated with other dogs.
We think Derby would do great as an only dog or with a similarly sized dog who is close in age and matches his enthusiasm for play.
Though he does fine in a crate, Derby has also proven to be a trustworthy boy when left with free roam of the house. He’ll simply pick his favorite couch and nap the day away.
Derby is truly the sweetest boy and will make an incredible companion for a family ready to give him the same love he so freely gives.
