Answer

Hello,

It does sound as if your dog may be having seizures. There are many different causes of seizures, ranging from hypoglycemia to brain tumors. Often, no cause is found. The dog is then diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy. Your dog needs to be examined by a vet. The vet can determine if there is a serious problem which must be treated. If it turns out that your dog has epilepsy, there are medications that control it. You can read more about seizures in dogs at this site:

You should also have your dog's heart checked if he was having difficulty breathing. Boxers are prone to a certain type of cardiomyopathy. If you'd like more on this, let me know.
