    How much snow do you have, if any?

    We do get snow down here, but only in 3 out of the 7 states & only on the higher mountain ranges. Summer began here at the start of December. Generally the hottest months are January & February, with the coldest being June & July.

    Looking for my puppy's breeder

    Moving this thread to the Choosing a Breeder forum & have also deleted your duplicate post in that forum. Thinking that the Boxer Ring forum is read more than any other forum is not a reason to post in the incorrect forum. www.boxerworld.com/rules
