Thats really sad. I had a little time to say goodbye. She wast hurting horribly...she couldent chase the squirrels just watch them. Medication can work at times or it can simply prolong their suffering. Thats a personal choice. As far as my dog went...there was no point taking this on and...

This sucks. No other way to put it. Out of 3 boxers.. Girl..10 years Boxer cardiomyopathy Girls Daughter Amber...14 years old age not her heart. Ambers daughter Dakota..7 years Boxer cardiomyopathy This is a condition that is right side heart failure. Its really sudden and not...

Ive watched how fast a nubby can move. I fear a boxer with a full fledged tail. If you have a boxer with a tail you are a brave person.

You say you corrected the poodle. That makes you top dog in your boxers eyes.Thats enough to make them change they way they act toward you and around you. Its not a bad thing. You are top dog. Sounds like this was actually a plus rather than a negative effect.

They dont get them much after about a year or so. My pup is 11 or 12 weeks and I just laugh at her when she gets them and tell her thats what she gets for being a freak.. No worries at that age its normal.

I had a lump on my 12 week old in the last couple days, it was her shots that caused a lymph gland to swell up. If Lucy had shots recently it could be that...Just throwing that out there but since she is 8 years I doubt thats the issue. Hope shes ok.

Reading the op. They get hyper at times in the morning as pups. Never in 20 years found a way to counter that. 1. Do no do the chase and run deal. You are playing their game then. Stand still and try to be strict with commands. 2. If they dont leave you alone dont yell. A stomp of the...

Ok.. Jada is a little over 3 months. She likes to play the game of chase me. If shes off the leash and goes somewhere she isnt supposed to go she plays a game of chase me. About the only way I have found to deal with the catch me if you can deal is to give the other older boxer hugs and...

Face planting into the ground is not fun for them Im sure. Mine were more prone to running, getting distracted and hitting trees head on. Tack on the having big paws when they are young and the long legs they arent used to yet, stopping can be a issue at high speed...I had to repair my neighbors...

Bigdog.jpg picture by allisterlq - Photobucket Being goofy with her ears. Shes not a big dog yet but she thinks she is.

I have owned boxers since I was 16, I am 37. I purchased a pup and brought her home against my mothers approval. She fell in love with the little bugger. She had pups a few years later and I convinced her to keep one. Then she had pups and we kept one of those too. So we had 3 generations of...
