Nice bed Somewhere here on BW there is a post about a memory foam bed at walmart that is pretty cheap. We got one for Judah and now he prefers his bed to ours (which has led to better sleep and happier days for all). We also saw a similar bed at BJ's wholesale for a little less. It looks...

Mean looking might be ok I agree that boxers look more majestic than mean. However, maybe it isn't so bad that some people think they look mean, this way they can "play" guard dog at home, even though the only thing I think our Judah would do to an intruder is wiggle them to death and maybe...

Obstruction Judah did this every once in a while a couple months after we got him, and I think I have posted this before but here's what it turned out to be: Dryer sheets and/or small socks. It turns out that when we first got him we got him a plush toy, and he had an accident in his crate...

Do you come home the same time everyday? If so I have a thought. Judah was doing the same thing when we went back to work in the fall (my wife is a math teacher and I am a professor), and I couldn't figure out what it was. Turns out that after a couple of days he had learned to eat his food...

I second the older female approach Our boy Judah was 8 weeks when we got him, and all he wanted to do was box every dog in the neighborhood. We decided to take him to our friends' house, since they have Moby, a 2 yr old female Weimerauner (aka the only type of dog I have seen with as much...

Judah is our best new buddy, and when my wife and I saw this site we knew it was a must join. Judah is a 5 month old fawn male with white markings and a black mask. (More classic than flashy) We got him when he was 8 wks and he has been a blast ever since. We are looking forward to him "taking...
