The name Jackhammering definately matches the action to a tee. In our family we are Animal Planet nuts. We watch shows about all kind of animals and I love bears in particular. So, when we brought my female home at 11wks and she started doing this to her big pillow we called it "Polar...

BoxerCrew hit the nail on the head. Don't cave in to the BYB's. I work with rescue and it is just ashame what comes in. We just had a former STUD dog given up for what reason I don't know. But anyway he is in good health except on the skinny side and had to be fixed of course, at rescues...

Leila, You are not alone. I love my furbabies very much also but they don't sleep in bed with us. While growing up I shared my bed with many Miniature Poodles and they were great but I just had reservations because of how much bigger the Boxer gets. The other thing is my husband grew up...

Neither of mine drool unless you have food they want. The best one is Microwave Popcorn, they will sit perfectly next to each other right in front of you and wait. Caspian (male) will have the drippy faucet from each side of his mouth, Marine (female, sounds like Karen) will have the perfect...

Welcome and I couldn't agree more! I love this site. We hadn't had a dog in about 10 years when we did some research and just loved the characteristics of the boxer. Well we got our female at 11wks (she just turned 3 yesterday). It wasn't that long and I convinced DH that we needed another...

I think my female, Marine (sounds like Karen) is related to the Crocodile Hunter. She thinks it is her job to keep those pesky little Lizards we have here in FL away from our pool. It is really gross when she actually gets one because they aren't all small. I usually can get her away from...

I have a barker. My female does the same thing you describe. She will even do it to kids until they come over and she gets to give them a sniff. What I did was as soon as I saw someone walking towards us or riding a bike I would stop and put her in a sit then go through her other commands with...

I'm sorry about your Zimba. I have not had this happen to me but I will give you my take. My male (80lbs) is great with small dogs, he will be very gentle and let them kind of paw his face etc. My female (48lbs) has never been allowed around a small dog long enough to find out. She will sit...

Wow! I was surprised at the price to adopt. I am originally from NE PA and our the humane societies were about $50/$90 over in that area. That Boxer Boy is beautiful. He looks like a bundle of energy. I guess it could deter someone from getting a pet that really could not afford to care for...

I was wondering if you checked out the Tampa Bay Boxer Club for Breeder Referrals? I am from Bradenton FL and that's where we started our search when looking for our first little girl. We ended up attending some dog shows and approaching people with dogs we thought were beautiful and asking...

Both my male and female go for walks after sundown usually around 8:30 pm. I feel like the pavement is just too darn hot for their feet. But, my male likes to suntan on the pool deck which does not get hot like pavement. My female, I'd say she is an indoor lover. Sometimes when they go out in...

Well it is in the boxer heritage. They were used as war dogs and that is when the whites started to be undesireable because they were not easily concealed behind enemy lines. I've read in several different places that some police agencies would take one trained boxer over several other breeds...

You would think that someone who works at a kennel would have some knowledge of different breeds. I mean I don't work in any part of the Pet Community but I love dogs and watch all the dog shows on TV and have books listing all the breeds and their stats etc. I have to say I tend to know more...

I have a Lazy Bones at home. He is our adopted rescue who is 3 1/2yrs old. He is 80lbs, and by no means fat, and real laid back. My female 48lbs (with SAS) on the other hand is a bundle of energy most of the time. If it wasn't for the heart problem I think she would be super hyper. The...

I have not had this happen with either one of my two because they are only crated if we go out and they are content with a Frozen Stuffed Kong. But I have a possible suggestion: How about a spare Room like laundry room mud room etc. Maybe put the crate, door open, in the room and just shut...
