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....

It's funny.. My daughter told me I was wierd interacting the way I do with mine. She said, Dad you treat them like they are human. I said, they are. So today she's here doing her laundry and my pups are going at it in the middle of the living room. She's laughing at them like I do every day. I said, you see it's non stop entertaintement, she said yep.. Nuff said!

I love my pups..

Mopar, great name btw

Grab the leash and hold on for a great ride!
I'm on my fourth Boxer. They are a riot, they have been called the clowns of the dog world. I love the breed because they alway bring a smile to almost everyones face.
The first thing you have to know; the females are definitely Alpha dogs. You have to be very firm and clear with them as to whose pack they belong to.
Female Boxers do have issues with other females, just be the leader and don't let up on the training - it's a lifetime effort.
As far as food goes, they will eat almost anything (sofas, wading pools etc)
feed them good food and lots of leather bones. My dog has a show quality coat and is in perfect heath. I have fed her Purina Dog chow and Beneful since she was a pup. Careful with the treats, I give mine ice cubes - she loves them. Upset stomach? Give her Tums (extra calcium).
Don't feed her anything that is "people food", she will get the point and won't beg or drool all over the place.
I could go on and on, but have to pay for the food!
Have fun and get ready to laugh - lots and lots - congratulations!

Eh, what do you have better to do, anyway? It's either (1) work, (2) talk to Yetty; or (3) surf the web.

I'd pick Number 3, too.

And if you tell her I said that, you'll be in trouble.

Good luck with the doggies.
