:D My 3 dogs all have natural ears. I live in Australia and ear cropping here is illegal. I prefer natural ears for myself as I would not have the time it takes to look after cropped ears - with regards to strapping etc. All boxers look beautiful - cropped and natural! GTmum Tyler -...

We had puppies in December and live it the ACT. In the ACT it is illegal to tail dock so we had their tails docked in NSW. Most vets we spoke to were against docking - even though the law permits it - and tried to talk us out of it. GTmum Tyler - 3yr, brindle male, docked & natural...

Tyler our 3yr old male drools and bubbles HEAPS when you eat in front of him or use treats for tricks. He drools so much it drips to the floor. Gypsy our 2yr old female has never drooled (ever) and that is such a good thing. And Neo is only 3mths old but has big flews like his daddy so we're...

Our male puppy Neo has just turned 3 months. I went on holidays for a week and since returning Neo has had an excitable urination problem. Whenever anyone greets him (including myself) he wets himself. The more excited he gets the more he pees. I've tried to ignore him when I first get home...

smashicon Our little boy decided to mount the counter and eat a corn cob that had been left out. The cob didn't quite agree with his bowel and he was rushed into surgery to have it removed. He's fine now but he doesn't get close to that sort of thing anymore! GTmum Tyler - 3yrs...

We said goodbye to one of our babies last night. We had been having trouble with our littlest girl puppy - she wasn't putting on weight and she was struggling with her motor skills. We took her to the vet and were told that she was just not getting enough food and to give her first round at...

Our 3 year old boy Tyler loves chasing shadows. It's funny to watch him pouncing on the ground as I peg the washing! Or if you have a flashlight he'll chase that up the walls as well. We haven't observed any reflection chasing yet - but it's not out of the question! He's not quite sure about...

Thanks for all the info. It has all been really helpful. I started the little girl on bottle feeds to supplement mums milk 2 days ago. I am currently giving her 3 bottles a day of 60ml each. She has picked up both in weight and motor skills immensely since doing this. Weight has increased...

This pup was not the smallest at birth but tended not to put on as much weight day by day as the others and so has lagged a little (which is why we didn't worry up until now.) Her weight has stagnated in the last few days which made us think something may be wrong so we took them all to the...

Our little girl is only 1.1kg, whereas the other puppies range from 1.8-2kg. A big difference when sitting side by side! I just don't want her to get further and further behind because of her size. Maybe I should check out another vet?:confused:

I love coming home of an evening after work to see our 2 boxer babies come bounding to the back gate, woo-wooing us and kidney beaning. They get so excited to see us, and I love seeing them too. As soon as we're inside they are too - on the lounge, laying on your feet or just sitting there...

We had the pleasure of witnessing the birth of 4 beautiful boxer babies on the 19th Dec. Our boxers (Gypsy & Tyler) had 2 girls and 2 boys. They are now coming up to 3 weeks old and one of the girls is lagging behind (weight, motor skills etc). Our vet suggested to wait and see how she...
