Rehoming not an option Yes, I completely agree with what you're saying - not to throw my DH under the bus, but this was one of his suggestions - I believe in an attempt to get me to drop the idea of putting her down. I don't like the idea of someone actually wanting a dog with her history -...

Thyroid Thanks for your insight - I didn't know this was an entirely different test - I'll add it to my list

Background Thank you for your reply - I really appreciate hearing from other experienced boxer lovers right now. She was definitely not from a "backyard breeder" - we have all her champion papers and show history from the CKC - but I do believe this is actually part of the problem. I've...

This is a painful post to write. I'm sure I'll get all sorts of input from this - I'm hoping. My husband and I bought a 4 year old female boxer (from a breeder) who is now 6 - we love her and she is basically our child. She is a retired champion and the most well trained dog when it comes to...

We decided to pass on it... We talked a lot about it and after all the posts about this it was definitely enough for us to decide that it would not be a good fit for us. So I talked to the breeder and she understood and was happy that we put a lot of thought into it instead of jumping into...

Good info Thanks for all the info on this matter. Yes, it sounds very complicated. I know for fact she is a very responsible breeder. I know the parents, grand-parents, ggp are all champions and she has all the proof and results of all the health tests on the dam and sire. It's the agreeing to...

Thanks for your input I don't have any idea what is involved in showing a dog, but I can only guess that it's more than showing up on the day of the dog show to pick up your ribbon. That is my concern. I don't want to be running back and forth to the breeders or wherever for training for the...

Thanks for your input EAO76 - thanks! I haven't been able to find much info about how they are to work with but I hope all goes well. We are a little concerned we won't be approved since we live in an apartment, but if only they knew us and our lifestyle... Anyway, basically if we aren't...

My husband and I are looking at different breeders in our area and I have contacted a few asking if they are planning on breeding in the near future. One of the breeders contacted me via email and said she has a 6 month available with terms. I asked her if there was a problem with the dog...

I have filled out an application with without borders boxer rescue in british columbia canada and am awaiting a response from them. It's my first time adopting through a rescue group. Has anyone had any experience with them? I'm so anxious to find out if we are approved but have no idea how long...

Hi, I don't own a boxer yet. My husband grew up with them and through him I have got to know them and come to love the breed. For the last nine years we have agonized over whether we should get a dog since we live in an apartment in the city. I finally have broke down and can't take it anymore...
