Just kidding We are off to the vet. Looks like wrong call, not a fight but snake bite.

If she is a good fit then you should go for it. Things happen for a reason and may face some health issues but there is no guarantee that you won't with a younger dog. What a great opportunity for you and her! Keep us posted.

Point of decision I thought we were doing better, Bella wasn't playing but seemed to be gaining interest and was running outside to bark with everyone. It has been 10 days and I had to go to town to do some errands. I live in a very rural area, so it takes the day. I came home to find that a...

Thanks, I really like the idea of taking 2 out and playing a ball game. I am not so sure about separating her, she is so insecure and seems to be anchored right now to me. Poor girl has been through a lot and I can tell her previous owner loved her. At least it is summer and I am home every...

I've had it go both ways I have owned as many as 5 boxers at one time. I have had dogs that get along with everybody and I have had a female that made our life very hard who didn't get along with anyone. To top it off her fights were serious and she had to have her own separate pen and be...

It has been a long time since I have visited. I am a teacher who lives in the mountains in central California. I am the proud mom of 3 rambunctious boxers.I enormous brindle male who is a gentle giant and the leader (after me of course), a very young bouncy boxer hound mix who never thinks...

Thanks Thanks for your kind thoughts. I have 4 boxers and I thought he would be least likely to have problems since he is a mix. Wrong again! The prednisone seems to be doing the trick. I was hoping to go a good long time before we faced major problems. I lost a boxer, Ferguson who was...

I have a boxer mix (probably with St Bernard) who I got from the pound. He is quite large and at about 7 months he woke up one morning and was unable to get up. The vet thought it was a muscle injury and we treated it as such. About 6 weeks later his right leg became very swollen and x rays...

Sounds like he may have associated the crate with your being gone. I recently crate trained an adult female and I am the first to admit I'm no expert. Where do you put the crate? Maybe you could try in your room. Also, you could make her dinner a little late and put her food in a bowl at the...

Thanks for the happy ending story! I'm struggling to get 2 females to get along and I think there is hope. I love both the girls a lot and my first girl has never had problems before. I think we are making progress, but occasionally I get feeling like you can't get there from here.

ages Snickers, a female is 6 years old. Zoey the other female we think is 2, she is a pound puppy and the male Gizmo is 5 months.

I have 3 boxers, 2 females and a male. The girls have some aggression issues that we are working hard on. There is a lot of competition to play with the male puppy. Some experienced dog people are telling me that as long as there are three there will be conflict and I should adopt another...

I know what you are going through because my two females are fine one minute and at each others throat the next. Each case is individual and a behaviorist is a good idea, but I will pass along the suggestions given to me to keep everyone safe and me sane while we are trying to work things out...

My boxers, all three come and stand over my leg.
