Thanks for the input folks. We are aving a behavioralist start working with Maggie. The crate we used for Amggie as a poup, was my brothers, and he recently got a Lab pup, so I don;t have a crate anymore. Don't want to spend the $200 plus if I don;t have to, plus, I'm concerned how she will...

Maggie's behavior has really changed. The biggest problem is, when we leave the house, she has begun to get into things and chew them up. Not furniture or anything, but the behavior is still unacceptable. Especially for my wife, who is home with our 17 month old little girl, and 4 months...

I would be a maybe if it were in the evening, after dinner, like around 7:00. Anytime during the day, I won't be avaiable, but my wife might be, so I'll keep my eyes open for the time.

I'm in Bucks County (Warrington). Don't know of any dog parks, but would love to be involved in any Boxer Bash. Maggie has had some flare ups with other dogs inthe past, but that seems to be in the past. She won't run away, if I let her off her leash, and when she is off the leash, she seems...

Sure we all know this. By the way, I haven't posted, or been to this board in quite a while, and I do miss it. Just wanted to share real quickly way Boxers are so great, in particular, my Maggie. She is now almost 2 years and 3 months old, and we have had her for just over 2 years. Right...

I am going to try and be as nonbiased as possible. But is there a more beautiful dog than a boxer? In terms of having a cute face, muscle tone, and the proud demeanor inwhich they carry themselves, I do not think so. There are lots of pretty dogs out there. Labs are real good looking dogs...

I hope this works. This should be a short slide show of maggie catching the frisbee, thenhanging out with her baby sister: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/twitch70/slideshow?&.dir=/maggie+%26+julia&.src=ph&.view=t

First, I hope everyone is doing as good as possible, and my deepest sympathies to those who have lost loved ones in last weeks tragedy. It has been a while since I have posted here. Maybe this can make us all smile a little, as we carry on with our lives. On Sunday we went to the park, and...

I think when they sleep, their weight is doubled.

A couple notes here. First my b-day is Feb 13, so some of you may have a child on my b-day. Secondly, we had our first child on 4/4/01. Maggie was nearing 1 years old. We did the blanket thing, and it certainly didn't hurt. Maggie is great with the baby, but sometimes she isn't aware of...

Aimee, when you encounter another dog, and yours is on a leash, it is not uncommon for them to growl and snarl. Krikkit had supplied me with a couple of articles, and they basically stated if you make the leash tight, and speak in a firm or harsh voice, these are primary commands whne training...

that is what we came across the other day. Fortunately, he was very friendly, because Maggie is not, towatds other dogs, when Maggie IS on a leash. So we just kind of stopped when we saw it. The Great Dane stopped, then slowly approached, until Maggie goes up onhere hind legs and gets excited...

For a female, we didn't have too many options other than Maggie. We also liked Harely and Marely. I like Roxanne too. I think it is easier to come up with male names.

I need some help. Maggie got along with almost every dog she met for the first few months we had here. She took an obedience course, and was very friendly with all the other dogs in the class. When the whether turned colder, she went a period of time without exposure to any dogs. We started...

Maggie is one years old today!!!! She has been so good. We had our first baby (Julia) on 4/4, and Maggie has been great. We were a little worried, but she is the best. Happy birthday to the best dog in the world (all of our dogs our).
