We actually got Kassie as a second dog. I wanted a good dog with my kids but also a dog that would be great with our other dog, who needed a friend.
We saw Kassie as a rescue at the local shelter. She was very timid at first, especially with me. She is still afraid of most men at first, but she adored the kids.
As far as loving goes - she is the best. Just wants to love you and be loved and near you. Sometimes too much, but she's wonderful to have around.
At first the dogs avoided each other. After about a week we heard growling and thought they were tearing each other apart. Nope, they just got to know each other and were playing.
If you have kids, a boxer is a goofy dog that is great.
