Yep, female boxers can be a bit snippy and bossy with other dogs. But if you nip it in the bud, you should be okay. She may be just fine.

Congratulations on the new Pup. Sweet of you to take on your Mothers dog. The new pup and the pup you currently have will get along in time. I had issues with my Mothers dog (Puppy Bichon) and my dog (Older Beagle, Humane Society). My Beagle came to learn how to handle the puppy and now they get along just fine. When my dog gets tired of her ears being chewed on and being trampeled, she just goes and finds a place to hide out awhile.

I don't know much about Boxers except my Mom and Dad had a Boxer mix back in the early 60's I guess. The mother was full boxer and as one of the people mentioned, "Jumpy", my mothers dog was jumpy. Could jump as high as the fridge. Tore up all the furniture, and ate like a horse. Not sure if that was something instilled in the Mother or the Father but could be something to watch out for. We put her down in 1977and I guess she was 18 at the time.

Not so funny after the first few times. You really should get a recipe book

Boxers are super smart and super active. They learn really quickly what you will tolerate and what makes you upset. Doggie classes are worth their weight. They make great family members and are faithful to the very end. When you are having a bad day they know. There is nothing in the world like a boxer hug and anyone who has one knows what I mean. I read about a study and it said the owners of boxers can actually tell their boxer by its smell sort of like humans. The vets office loves to see Mopar just so everyone can get a boxer hug. Just be patient with her remember she is a baby and depends on you to love and teach her how to become a good grownup dog. Go to boxerworld.com. They are great people and you can learn so much from them....
