My almost 4-month-old Boxer is jumping up on my son (3), biting his ears (causing a substantial cut), and not listening to us at all. Kobe is in puppy class, but nothing seems to work. The last time he jumped up to bite, we pushed him down and yelled "no," which only made things worse. Now he...

Wow! You guys don't mess around. I'm in. Sanford is a good 2 hours for me, which can be tough with 1 small child and a not-so-small child (not to mention the furry, not-so-small child), but it will be worth it to meet all of you and your Boxers - very exciting. Is this Dog Park a good...

First: NO WAY! Kelli, do you really have a Madison and a Hunter (and soon a Boxer boy)? I have a Madison (12) and a Hunter (3) and we have had our Boxer boy, Kobe, for a few weeks now. I had to read your post several times. Wow, that is wierd. Wendy, We are located in Central Florida...

I have a 10-week baby Boxer boy and the breeder had a pig ear in his crate when I picked him up from the airport (my Boxer, not the breeder). The breeder has an outstanding reputation, so I am puzzled by the anti-pig ear sentiment. I heard real bones were bad, but everyone seems to like the...

For some reason, being firm with my Kobe never seems to work either. I took him to puppy class and the instructor tried praise and treats, but with a firm command and a push down . Now Kobe runs away every time we try a training session. The only way I can get him to come is to climb under...

That just stinks about your "puppy." We wish you all the best wishes and I hope you will keep us posted on her progress. Now, I really hate to ask and I doubt I want to know the answer (I have had my Kobe for less than 2 weeks), but what is kidney-beaning? I have seen it mentioned, but of...

I have had my Kobe for just a little over a week and I keep reading stories about Boxers and how short a time many of them are with their families. I can't stand the thought, but is this a problem with the breed? What should I expect? I just read that the average life span for Boxers in the...

Another New Florida Boxer The Florida Boxer population appears to be on the rise. Our little Kobe just flew down from Ohio last Friday. He seems to be doing well with his crate training but he also hates the grass. He prefers the driveway or front porch, actually. Our only concern is his...

Any Boxer families in Brevard? We have a new addition and would love to create or join a Boxer organization, bash, gathering, etc. Kobe has become such an imprtant part of our lives in such a short time. We love him and the breed and this web site has really gotten us excited about meeting...

I just picked my puppy up from Delta air cargo last week. I was a nervous wreck, but Kobe did not seem to mind too much. The trip was from Ohio to Florida and Delta has a good reputation for transporting animals. For the ticket price, he should have flown first class, but the pick-up process...

Thanks friends; I think I got it. I assume that if I go in and add more I will get the cool rotating picture option most of you seem to have?

I have been blessed with a very special Boxer named Kobe. 9 weeks old and full of attitude. My question is regarding name registration. We decided to find the best breeder we paid quite a bit more than local breeders were charging even for what they deemed "show quality." By the way, I don't...

Thank you for the kind words and suggestions - very helpful. Now I just need to know how to get pictures of Kobe on the board. I was able to load some onto the photo gallery and I tried to upload on the forum page but it says "no pictures found" under keyword or user name. Any help? Thank you.

I have had my Boxer, Kobe, for one week. He is very stubborn and I could swear he gives me dirty looks whenever I disrupt his play or attempt to keep him from pouncing too ferociously upon my Chihuahua. Kobe is a fawn male, almost 10 weeks old, with a very distinct personality and attitude -...
