Welcome from San Antonio! I'm not on here too much, but it's nice to meet other Boxer parents especially here in Texas! :)

Both my babies are huffers! Jade has it the worse though because she is very vocal about it! She does it when she's frustrated and when she doesn't want to be hugged, etc. My friends all say she's me w/ 4-legs. Copper will huff, but he also stares you down in disbelief that you're not giving...

Carolyn Thanks for the response! You had me in stiches ("until they start paying bills" CLASSIC!) however, all your points were well received nonetheless! I'm going to go on Amazon tomorrow and see if I can find that book you suggested! I do truly appreciate all the advice/info. Copper...

LOL!!! I love it!!!! Jade kidney beans all the way up the stairs and it is absolutely hilarious! None of my friends have ever had real experiences with Boxers, so when they come to the house and she does it, it ALWAYS brings the house down in laughter! Copper does it sometimes, but Jade, my...

Thank you very much for all of the info! He's a great boy and even though The Diva (Jade) is still a little upset with the new addition, I can tell she loves him already! It's going to take some time but with your help, research, and patience we'll be great! He's an awesome boy and I...

I'm new to the rescue world and I'm looking for any advice/guidance on how to train our new boy to our family. Copper is 2 years old, and he was surrender by a family with 6 children and a husband who was leaving to Iraq. Apparently he was a house dog for awhile, but the last 2 or 3 months he...

By no means am I a dog expert...I too am pretty new at being a Boxer mom myself. However, with any dog its common knowledge that if they sense you're intimidated, they will continue to act as the Alpha and maintain their position as leader of the pack. My only suggestion is that when he...

Thanks for the input! She's 5 months old, so what you were saying about the 2nd fear imprint definitely makes sense! As for her food, we've been giving her Purina Puppy Chow which she was doing well on, however, my husband bought the wrong flavor a few weeks ago, and that's when her appetitie...

Don't feel so bad...Jade is the SAME way! My Dad's boxers were two very boistrous chaps, however, my little princess is a little stealth puppy. My step-son can get her to bark when he's playing with her, and she's developed this habit of low-crawling under our bed in which she'll bark like...

Okay...not sure what's exactly going on with my baby, but she's lost her mind and she's been acting very out of character. Last week I posted about her sudden seperation issues, and now she's kind of displaying some ocd characteristics. Here's the story Like any boxer she's naturally...

Hi Dawn! I say your name and I was confused for a minute! I was like, "Wait...I thought my screen name was Jade'sMommie?" LOL Anyway, obviously I like you already! Seems we have a lot in common! Thank you for the condolences as well! What's truly tragic about the story is the friend who...

Howdy fellow Texan! Jade & I send our welcome from San Antonio! You're going to absolutely love your new addition! They seem to possess this power of being able to COMPLETELY take over the household! Congratulations and we look forward to hearing all about your "newborn"!

Hello! Another newbie here, looking forward to hearing all your exciting stories about Ghost! Love the name by the way! Anywho, welcome to BW! Tiffany

Thanks for the warm welcome! Jade & I feel like a member of the family already! We definitely look forward to sharing pictures & our exciting stories about Princess Jade's reign! I truly appreicate all the kind words in regards to the loss of her "uncles!" It's been 3 years now and I still...

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the info! I don't mind having her upstairs with us at all. I do want to actually get to the point where we trust her to patrol the house w/o having fear of her using the bathroom in the house or tearing up everything! Of course I realize not every baby can be...
