There are so many good dogs waiting there for free. Be sure to know what to look for in temperament--there are specific things to look for--and you can get a great dog, saving you lots of money and the saving the dog his or her life.
Speech over. Boxers are awesome, don't get me wrong.

Good call on the Pound Puppy. There are some great Purebreds in the pound. They would be greatful to you for rescuing them from that environment! Me to, speech over.
If that does not work for you, don't price shop toooo much. NO cheap puppy mills. AKC is a good reference as to who has what in your area. Not cheap, but good quality dogs.
Lastly, I have a boxer (among others). BEST dog we have ever had. TERRIBLE watch dog. She does not alert you when people come to the house. My wifes 3 pound poodle has that duty.
NOTE: They are TERRIBLE weasels, and will try to get extra........everything a little at a time. GOOD LUCK
