thanx so much!!! Hmmmm this should be interesting. I'm just wondering how long it is going to take him to get out!!! REALLY---he so smart and soo mischevious!

I've read on some of the threads that the crate shouldn't be too big. What size is right for a boxer. Baxter is 55 lbs. I was going to get a 42" but am now wondering if that is too big.

Baxter just started to understand at about 6 1/2 months. He LOVES to go in the car and will sit and wiggle and wiggle until I get his leash on. Then he runs for the garage door. I am constantly amazed at how smart these dogs are! He also just started "protecting" us. He will start barking...

Baxter is 7 1/2 months old. He is a beautiful brindle and our second boxer. Our first baxter suffered from cardiomyopathy and left us a few years ago. We LOVE our second baxter---but he is soooo bad! When we leave for work we try to dog proof the house, but it is like he looks for things to...

Hi all-- Baxter, 7 1/2 months was recently diagnosed with demondectic mange. The vet prescribed cow/swine serum and everything has been fine for two weeks. Yesterday I came home to find him loaded with hives. I calle the vet and gave him the 1 adult benedryl as instructed, but it didn't...

You are going to LOVE your boxer!! We just got our second boxer a few weeks ago, a beautiful brindle named Baxter. Our first boxer died a few years ago--heart problem---and it took us a while to want to replace him. My husband always told our kids they were lucky the boxer didn't come first...

You would think that at a year old the ankle would be a troublesome spot for the bigger dog. My first boxer would nip us in the butt when we walked away from him or tried to ignore him when he wanted to play. A nasty habit too, but funny as heck when you weren't the one getting nipped.

Thanks folks! Baxter does bark when he wants up on the bed or up on my lap(a feat that will be a bit awkward soon :D) S0---i guess i'll be patient and more observant. My last boxer barked when he had to go and I don't remember really having to do anything to make that happen. But they are all...

Hi Pittsburgh!! I'm from Johnstown, Cambria County. I'll try to get pictures on asap. Right now--I have to tape up Baxter's ear for the 20th time today!! He got his ears done and one isn't standing yet. He has learned to get the tape off in record time fiesta1ico. I should have named...

Hi everybody! I just found this site---Great!appicon. I am learning sooo much. We are the ecstatic owners of a beautiful 3 month old brindle names Baxter. Such a mind of their own these dogs have! Our last boxer passed away about 5 yrs ago and it was so very hard to get another one---we...

Anyone have any really good sites for purchasing training aids such as the GL and clickers??? For some reason, our put store doesn't carry them!! thankx

I'm new at this so I hope I am doing it right! My Baxter is 3 1/2 months old now. Potty training is slow, but steady. My question--when should my pup start letting me know he has to go??? Is there something I could be doing to teach him to let me know. Right now he understands when I tell...
