Thanks for the advice guys. Just to clear things up. It's not a boxer club, it's an all-breed dog training club so it was probably just the person's opinion, but having read the replies, my mind is at ease that he'll grow up to be a normal boxer (if anything about a boxer can be called normal :-) )

Hi guys. I was wondering if what I heard at my dog club is true. I have a 55lbs or 25kg, 14 month old boxer. He's not very tall, and I mentioned his size to someone because I'm wondering how big he'll get? He's about 50cm tall (measured from the ground to top of his head... rough estimate) The...

I named mine Tyson, and you won't believe how many other boxers that frequent my vet are also named Tyson... Guess that's proof that there's no originality left in the world. :)

The vet said that it doesn't seem cancerous because it doesn't have any of the symptoms/signs and he's quite young. She pointed out that because he sits on concrete (when he wants to be in the sun) that's probably what's causing the callous to form on his scrotum, however, as soon as I see that...

When I bought my boxer puppy, I treated our yard with a product called Fleagard. It's an insecticide that kills the larvae, eggs and fleas and is only available at my vet. I then used Frontline on him as soon as he was old enough and a monthly dosage means he doesn't know what a flea infestation...

Well guys. I finally got to see my vet. She's the busiest vet in my area I think... Anyway, she checked his 'lump' and told me it's not a Marcelle's (sp) tumour but won't rule out a cancerous growth but more than likely it's because he sits on the concrete at home. Her advice was to put Vaseline...

The fact that she called your boxer a pit bull shows her ignorance. I used to have a staffie before I got the world's perfect dog (my fawn boxer, Tyson) and people would avoid the staffie because he looked like a pit bull. I know people with pit bulls and pit bulls are about as dangerous as any...

Hi All My boxer has, what I think is a lump on one of his testicles. I've made an appointment to see the vet, but I can't help worrying until then. A guy at the dog club I belong to, told me it's normal because my dog sits on concrete at home to get some sun and showed me his dog has it as...

Hello all I've just joined up today and am the owner, ( or should I say, am owned by) a fawn boxer male. Having owned a few breeds over the years, I can now state that I will never own anything other than a boxer. :-)
