Isn't this the same type of senario that has made the boxer what it is today? Take two, three, or even more different breeds to create a new breed. All dog breeds have been created this way right? I see nothing wrong with it. How are we to say that they are doing this for money... If the...

Count me in. . . This will be T-bones first Boxer Bash! Please send any additional info. . . SchafferRJ@teng.com Thanks!

Thanks for the reply . . . I've heard of the park off of LSD, I'm from the south burbs so I was going to take her to the one in Homewood. I was just concerned. . . I know the reaction I get from other owners when we're on a walk. They all think she is viscious and try to avoid us...

My roommate and I have been thinking of taking the dogs to a dog park, but I am a little worried because they play so rough. My roommate has a 1 year old doberman and T-bone is 3 yrs. We don't let then play rough but they always seem to scrap it up when no one is looking (playfully of course...

Since I don't have a fence and all the leash laws, I take T-bone out back and she'll chase it untill she can't run anymore. It is the best! I try to break it up into two sessions other wise it might be too much exersize all at once. She knows where it is coming from too so every time I turn...

Bruno, my roommates Doberman tore a hole in the carpet (new carpet at that!) in the back bedroom. We came home yesterday only to find him loose in the room. The hole stretches arcoss the doorway and is about 3' x 6". He tore through the padding all the way to the wood floor. It's my house...

I can get t-bone to stand up on her hind legs while I toss treats and she'll cath them! This is a great one for showing off.

I just have a quick question. . . I was wondering how rough you let your two dogs play? I have a boxer (2.5 yrs, female) and a Doberman (8 mo, male). I do not let them play rough at all. Whenever they are nipping and biting each other I put a stop to it (because they get really, really...

To this day I am still amazed at this . . . When T-bone was still a puppy (20lbs or so) I was letting her eat the rest of one of my corn dogs. Well I was holding onto the stick so she could eat the corn dog when she snatched the whole thing from my hand and ran away! By the time I caught...

I've been asked several times if T-bone is a "minature boxer", I just laugh at them. One lady said her neighbor had a minature boxer and she was the same size. She was kinda offended when I told her "no" and that females are generally 10-20lbs smaller. I don't know why she got so stand offish...

I've really steped up the training with T-bone (50lb f/fawn) in the last couple of weeks. She is 2 1\2 years old and always been a good girl. To get to the point . . . We walked around the block yesterday with no leash! Can you beleive that. She stayed right by my side and looked at me the...

Name: T-bone Age: 2 1/2 Weight: 51lbs Color: Fawn Sex: Female Marital Status: Single Living Arrangements: House with small yard Location Of Birth: ???? Do They Watch T.V.: nope Where Have They Traveled: She goes everywhere with me. But no...

I went away for the weekend and left T-bone home alone with the "Dog Sitter" and she behaved! And thats not all. She was left out of the kennell when he was not there and she didn't get into anything!!!!! So this week she has full run of the house while I'm at work and no accidents yet. (of...

I guess I didn't think of it that way. I encourage it with my dog but I'm never around kids and I never get massages from my roommates. I guess in more of a family environment I would not allow it either. I was thinking of it as a protective issue.

When me and my roomates are wrestling T-bone is always growling and jumping on them. It's really funny if you ask me. I think that dogs just know who there owner is and are very protective. Even though she is playing fighting with my roommates, I would feel sorry for the guy that tries to...
