What is the better choice as per the criteria given below, as a pet dog: German Shephard or Boxer
One issue you didn't mention - but I will - is how much of your time are you willing to put into this dog? Dog ownership is NOT for children - it's a family (translate, Parents) affair and the adults should be responsible for all the care/feeding of Duke. Do not leave it up to the kids. That includes pooper-patrol, walking, feeding, grooming, vet visits, and most importantly OBEDIENCE TRAINING. If you don't have at least 2 hours a day to care for Duke, do everyone a favor and wait until you do have those 2 hours a day.
Additionally, dogs are pack animals. They should not be tied or penned out in the back yard to be sentenced to a life of solitary confinement. Bad. Very bad. Dogs - especially shepherds and boxers - belong in the house. If ALL of the adults in the house are not pro-house dogs, wait until you can convince all the adults that a house dog (regardless of size) is a good idea.
I would reccommend resolving these two issues for any dog regardless of breed or size.
OK. If you have warm weather issues - you may consider the boxer because shepherds are pretty hairy. They have a thick undercoat that sheds twice a year. You'd be surprised how much one dog can shed. Boxers shed too - but because they're short haired dogs, they don't shed as much.
BOXER! BOXER! BOXER! I have to say that a boxer would suit you perfectly. The boxer is a short coated breed, so that is great for the warm weather. The large house and lawn will give a boxer plenty of room for the "zoomies" and playtime. Boxers are notoriously great with kids and other animals and are very gentle when they need to be (i.e. with very young kids or a frail elder). Boxers are devoted to their families and super sweet and loving, and just intimidating enough to scare away anyone with ill intentions. They are very intuitive and are considered a guarding breed. They will definitely protect their home and loved ones and alert you with a very specific bark when things aren't as usual. So, you get all things, plus a clean, short haired, affectionate bundle of joyous personality and love.
I have had many breeds of dogs thruoughout my life, but now am "strictly boxer".
