Thanks for the tips! So far so good. Got a bigger box from the supermarket and he slept through the night except for the two times I got him up in the middle of the night to take him out to potty. So far just a couple of accidents in the kitchen just after we brought him home for the first...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I took the large crate back, and got the next smaller size. They only had a floor model left, so I got that at a nice discount. If worse comes to worse and Luke grows too large, I'll just have to get a larger one. Couldn't find any with a removable door, but we...

Got our Puppy today. Cute male brindle. I think his name is going to be Luke. Had to drive to Fresno, which was a 4 hour drive home. No accidents along the way, puppy was very content, playful at times, slept much of the way. Now we are home. Managed to coax him into his crate with a few treats...

Hi, I'm looking for a wire cage for my upcoming Boxer puppy with a removable front door. Our living room is on the small side, and it would be convenient for us to have the door off when he is older and resting in there and we do not want him locked in, instead of swung open. Also, his...

Or how hyper can they be? If you saw my earlier posts, you saw that my family and I have decided on finding a Boxer. Now, friends and family are scaring us by telling us that so and so (owners, trainers, shelters, etc.) all say they are too hyper. We are very committed to doing obedience...

Hi all, Now that we are convinced we want a Boxer puppy, how about some advice on timing? As I'm sure you can imagine, we are pretty anxious to find the right puppy, hopefully soon. We have found a nearby breeder that seems to be very good, who has a Boxer with puppies due on Monday (4/30)...

Thanks for all the replies everyone, they have really been helpful! We are pretty sold on boxers at this point. I have some other questions regarding breeders that I think I'll ask in another post. Thanks again

Hi all! I'm new to the forum and Boxers. My family and I are thinking about getting a boxer to replace our long time companion, Jake, who recently passed away. He was a great Lab, and much loved. I have always liked Boxers, but do not know much about them. Any advice would be appreciated. We...
