    How Many Dogs Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb?

    Came across this joke and wanted to share it. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb? Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code...

    Will a new puppy age my dog?

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but here goes: I was told by another boxer owner that if I got a younger brother or sister for our 20 month old, Gwen, that she would stop acting like a puppy herself. This person told me that she would become motherly toward the puppy...

    Plastic vs Wire Crate

    My baby girl has been trying to push through her wire crate and has bent the bars on it. While doing this she has rubbed her chin raw. I was wondering if anyone has used a hard plastic crate and what their experiences have been with it. Thanks

    Aaarggghhh!!!

    What are you suppossed to do in the mean time? Well after my post today we both took a nap in the room where the crate is, so she wouldn't be afraid of it. I left the room at various times for various amounts of time, take a shower, change the laundry, etc. She didn't go to the bathroom while...

    Aaarggghhh!!!

    My, almost 8 month old, boxer has been suffering from severe seperation anxiety. I understand that I have already posted about this but I don't know what to do. She cannot, I mean CANNOT be by herself. She has bent the bars on the crate, drools severly, and now today she pooped in the crate...

    Timid Boxer

    You are right she is about 7 1/2 months and she has been fearful for as long as we have had her, since about six months. She does warm up after being exposed to the environment or individual. When she is outside or with other dogs she is completely different very bouncy and playful. But when...

    Timid Boxer

    Does anyone have a boxer that is timid? Gwen is very skittish around loud noises, new environments and new people. It has its benefits but I am wondering whether or not I should be concerned.

    Hello All

    I forgot to mention, her name is Gwen, and she has a white mask with a stripe down the middle of her nose, a white chest and white paws. She is very dark more of a mahogany. She loves ice cubes and chasing them around like a cat until it goes under the couch and then its "Hey Dad I lost it."...

    Seperation Anxiety

    Our baby girl is having a very severe case of speration anxiety. She does not enjoy her crate and will escape it when put in it. We even put a lock on the outside of it and she still escaped. When she does she poops in the room and will be mildly destructive. I just have no clue on how to...
