    hip dysplasia Thanks for suggesting we take Montana to the vet. He indeed has hip dysplasia (at 11 months). We are livid with the breeder. We specifically asked questions about testing before we bought him, and we feel duped by these people who sold him to us. They are offering us a refund...

    When to get sibling for puppy?

    Just wondering if anyone could let me know an "ideal" age for a Boxer to get a brother or sister? Montana is now about 5 months old and we are very anxious to add to our family. Do two males do well together (I think I have read that this combination is a no-no)? Any advice? Thanks!

    crate question

    Hi, We are having some crate difficulties with 11 week old Montana. He does not want to go into his crate at all, and has gotten worse about it this week in particular. I read the developmental doggie stages and wonder if this has anything to do with a fear period? My husband and I have...
