    Hello to all.

    Welcome to Boxerworld!! I have to say, I love the name!! My husband wanted to re-name the boxer we adopted last year Dozer ... but he's just not a Dozer! Winston actually fits him very well, so we kept it!

    Should I get rid of my dog?

    I take it that he's still a puppy from what you said about taking him from his mother? If so, then nipping is normal for a puppy. Do a search here for bite inhibition and look around the puppy forum and you'll find all kinds of information for using positive training to help the dog...

    Heartworm positive or negative?

    There are two different types of HW tests ... one tests for adult worms and the other tests for baby worms. (I'm sorry, I can't remember which is which right now.) Adult worms can live for up to 9 months or so after they have gone through the HW treatment. So whenever we get in a positive...

    Kong cleaning, Yuck!!

    Someone also told me you can nuke them in the microwave. Put them straight up on a paper plate and nuke until it gets to the bottom. I've never tried this ... the dishwasher usually works great for us.

    Any Lawyers out there??

    Did it happen at her house or in the street? (Streets are public property.) I don't see where your mother's homeowner's insurance has anything whatsoever to do with this. If it did happen on her property then that's a whole other issue ... You can't really do anything about the police...

    Tummies don't know about daylight savings time

    Mine are just like that! When the time changes in the fall I usually just hold off feeding for 20-30 minutes for a couple of days(it's hard, especially with Winston yodelling and woo-ing the whole time). In the spring (a much easier switch), I just feed them a half hour early for two days to...

    cloudy spot in eye

    Is this kind of what you're talking about? Cheyenne has a tiny white spot in the middle of her eye ... but it's solid, not cloudy. I've been told by more than one vet that it's a calcium deposit and not to worry about it .... she got it between 1-2 yo (she's almost 5). It hasn't changed in...

    more on white boxers

    Please, please, please don't breed in Georgia! We got in a litter of 5 puppies a couple of weeks ago ... you'd think they would have been snatched up, right? Wrong! After being in foster homes for three weeks, we still have two girls up for adoption. And I tell you, I love puppies...

    Re-intro!!!

    Welcome to Boxerworld! The only off-leash park I'm aware of is Piedmont Park, in Atlanta. I'll check with a friend of mine (who lives in Alpharetta) and see if there are any around her. I live in south Gwinnett County .... I think they are putting one here in the near future.

    They still want Quimby

    Oh, I know how you feel! I always want to adopt our fosters! Luckily for me, my female hasn't liked any of them and we have to separate all of them. I say luckily because if we adopted another, I would no longer be able to foster. Right now fostering is very important to me. I make...
