Our male boxer, JoJo, has been food aggressive with our male dane since we got the dane (about 3 years ago). All of our dogs get fed in their crates... the thing is that Roxy and JoJo have always shared a crate. They're only 7 months apart, and they have always been inseparable. Tonight I...

I feel your pain! On Friday, JoJo started hacking, but I thought he had eaten a stick or something and it was stuck, so I just decided to let it ride and see if he could work it out. He just got worse through the weekend, and Sunday night we were up all night listening to him. So I took him...

JoJo kept us up all night with his hacking, so I took him to the vet today, thinking he was going to have to have something surgically removed from his stomach, and it turns out he has bronchitis! I hate it that he's sick, but it's so much better than surgery! The vet x rayed him just to make...

I'm sure JoJo has eaten rocks... he eats everything else. He's been trying to hack something up since last night... I think he ate a stick, but I'm not sure! I used to freak out and take him to the vet everytime he did this, but it's become so common that now I know the signs if it's an actual...

Those are such cute pictures! I would be thrilled if my boxers made it to 13! There is a boxer who used to come to me to get groomed who they thought was around 13 (they weren't sure because he just showed up at their house one day!) and he was gray all over. But of course even at his age he...

Most of them around here (north side of Indianapolis) are $20-25/day. There is a new one that is really nice. My husband and I have a grooming shop, but we offer daycare also and we charge $10/day. I would feel guilty charging more than that!! Our boxers come to work with us most of the...

That makes me feel better! Roxy acts like a typical boxer, so I just won't worry about it! I just thought it was weird that between our 2 there is only 7 months between them, and she is so gray and he's not! I had never thought about how it varies with people... one of my friends has had gray...

Is there a certain age or age range that boxers gray? I'm just wondering because we have 2 boxers from different breeders... they are 7 months apart, but Roxy's face is almost totally gray, and JoJo's face is totally black still. Roxy just turned 5 on Jan 5th, and JoJo will be 5 in July. Just...

Thanks everyone for your ideas! I haven't been online all week, so I was surprised to see 3 pages! My guess is we'll probably go with the wood chips or rocks of some kind.... I'd be a little short on the $13K for turf! The ground has actually been frozen for 2 days now, so we've had a little...

Thanks everyone... I posted a similar thread on a great dane forum and they basically said to get used to it. We might try the rocks... I just get so sick of cleaning 20 feet everytime they go outside to go to the bathroom!! I guess that's the price I pay for having too many dogs! I would...

thanks for the welcome! we live about 30 minutes north of indy.

I looked and didn't see any similar posts, if I overlooked something already posted I'm sorry! We just moved to a house in the country in September, and we were so excited that our dogs would finally have a big yard to play in! We have 2 boxers and 2 other large dogs, and our nice big grassy...

Hi, we have 2 natural eared brindle boxers, Roxy and JoJo. Roxy just turned 5 this month, and JoJo will be 5 in July. We also have a silky terrier, a great dane, and a bouvier des flanders. Looking forward to talking to all of you. This is a great site!
