My question pertains to our puppies eating their allotted food amount quickly. Being 13 and 9 wks old, we feed them about 1 cup and.5 cup, respectively. I am not sure how long this should usually take but they scarf it down in about 1-2min, if I am lucky. We try to slow them down because we...

Our 9 wk old boxer girl Marais has been having some 'separation-like' issues. We are currently taking our 13 wk old boxer boy Hudson to puppy classes on Friday nights for an hour. We put our girl in the crate when we go. The first time we went we put their stuffed boxer pal in with her and she...

About your pup being aggressive when eating, it is normal. I found with my pups, that getting myself between them and their bowl while eating did the trick. It showed them that they are not the dominant one and I am. Once I was comfortable doing this, I then began to come back while they were...

Loose stool Our girl,Marais, has had diarrhea ever since we picked her up( 1 1/2wks ago). She just started eating kibble which probably aided in her loose stools. In addition, we also started to make the transition from Iams to Innova puppy, which hasn't helped her situation. Yesterday, we...

In the midst of heavy puppy playing one of our pups retreats to her crate- sometimes she will return and play, but other times she stays in. (They are pups, she sometimes retreats after a yelp from playing and other times just retreats). What should we make of this behavior? She does enjoy...

Welcome Welcome to Boxerworld & the life of boxers!!!! You will be very pleased with the breed. My wife & I just relocated from Duluth,MN-where we were students-to Ellensburg,WA. We just got two boxers, Hudson and Marais. It is good to see someone from Superior,WI.

Does anyone know at what age pups can start chewing/eating on bones?Also, If I were to purchase soup bones for him to chew on, do these always come frozen? Do I have to worry about anything with this type of bone.

Your choice of food What exactly do you feed your dogs? It seems as though nothing is the perfect match for any one type of dog.

Has anyone heard of Exclusive dog food? I stumbled upon it at the store, read the ingredients, (the first 5 being lamb, lamb meal, rice flour, brewers rice and whole grain brown rice) and thought it would be a good healthy dog food for the pups. However, they also say that the food is not...

I was wondering if anyone has administered shots for their boxers? Meaning the 6-8wk shots, 11wks, etc. Where would one go to find out more about this?

Has anyone heard of Iams smart puppy? Is Iams a decent kind of dog food? My pups seem to doing fine on it- stools hard and consistent. After reading threads on BW, I am thinking of changing, but I am unsure what to change to. Any ideas? My pups are 9 1/2wks & 5 1/2wks old.

Hello everyone, My wife and I have two fawn boxers, Hudson, 9w5d, and Marais, 5w6d. I guess you could say they are our christmas presents to each other. Needless to say we will have our hands full. We both love the breed and are excited about having our two boxers. We figured two had to be...

My wife and I just got two boxer puppies. Two beautiful fawn pups. We are familiar with the breed, I having grown up with three, but not so much at this age and two at one time. Hudson, a male, is 9w5d, and Marais, a female, is 5w6d play constantly. However, sometimes Marais starts lifting...
