When we got Cooper, we first blocked off half of his crate so #1. he felt more secure and #2, so he wouldn't have room to potty in there and not lay in it. We brought him home when he was only 5 weeks old. He cried his little heart out. I felt so bad, and I got up every two hours for a potty...

WOW, thank you all for your advice and support. I know it will get better. Cooper is a great addition to our family, and we love him. It is wonderful to be able to come here and get this kind of support. I will try to keep you all posted as time goes on. Cooper thanks you too.:p Misty

O.K. I guess I didn't explain my frustration well enough. I am not upset that he is going potty in the house. I understand that he is a baby, I was going outside with him every single time for the first three weeks, and praising him like crazy when he went, and he was doing awesome. And he...

OK.... I am abiut to pull my hair out. Cooper is now 10 weeks ols and we have had him for 5 weeks. He went for like 8 days without going potty in the house. He was even starting to go to the door and whine a little. I was so proud of him. And then yesterday. I got up to let him out first...

You can see Cooper in my gallery. I really really wanted him to look like a boxer, and for awhile, he really looked like a mutt, a beautiful mut, but still, a mutt. But I do think he looks more and more like a boxer all the time. Check out my gallery photo's, and meet Cooper. Thanks, Misty

Wow!!! That is good to know, I will have to check into that. This is the best website. My baby is just a mixed breed (boxer/rottie) but I have been addicted to this site. Thank you so much for all your help. Misty

Thank You!!! I am so happy someone replied. That is helpful. I surely don't want to neuter him too early. I was wondering if even a year old was OK, or if he would already have those bad "boy" habits. Thanks Again, Misty

Hi there and Happy New Year to you all. We just got our Boxer mix puppy about a month ago. We don't know much about dogs, but I am learning alot here at BW. My question is-- I am planning on getting him neutered, mostly because he is a mixed breed and we live in a nice little neighborhood...

Hi. Dou you know what your boxer mix is mixed with? I have a boxer/ rottweiler mix named Cooper, and he looks just like your Ginger. He is 8 weeks and we have had him for 3 weeks. We adore him as I am sure you will adore Ginger too. Welcome to BW, this is a great place. Misty
