We have 2 boxers, Phoebe and Boomer, brother and sister and are 1 year old. Our backyard is relatively small compared to the average and we have almost no grass left at all (about 25% left). The yard is kind of shaded, which we like for leaving them out for longer periods in the spring but its...

we put Phoebe in bed Phoebe didnt like her crate at first either. She would cry and wine and bark and we got no sleep, so we gave in and put her in bed with us, but she HAD to go in her crate during the day while we were gone. She pawed at the door, chewed on the plastic, etc. She was about...

We are getting a 2nd too We have Phoebe who is 18 weeks old and we also want a 2nd boxer. We found out our breeder has 2 of her brothers left. We took Phoebe to see them on Saturday, they got along great, but 1 of them didnt want to come to us at all. We went to see them again on Sunday...

Hair Phoebe loves to chew on Nicholes hair and always winds up poopin some of it out. The other day she was doin her business in the yard, and then started actin real funny, spinning around and such. I walked out to see what her problem was and there was a hair hangin out about 6 inches with...

I'm sure this has been asked before and i did look a little for it, but we want to ask. Phoebe is 4 months old and we really want to get a male. Is getting another puppy easier once Phoebe is older or shall we get one soon? Please share your thoughts and experiences, we love hearing them! :)...

Our first nights We brought Phoebe home at 8 weeks and we had a little box and towels for her to sleep in, Nichole and I sectioned off the family room/kitchen area to confine her and we spread a big comforter out on the family room floor and slept in there with her (near the door to go out) for...

Thanks for the replies, I've been paying more attention to her eating/drinking schedule the past 2 days and things are better. We dont feel like she is drinking excessive amounts, but we do live in missouri, its been 90+ degrees the past week and 70%+ humidity, so that doesnt help. We feel...

Whenever Phoebe drinks a large amount of water (which she always seems to do everytime she drinks), she almost inevitably pukes a little of it up and usually a little food with it. This seems to be happening almost daily now. I've tried pulling her water up for a few seconds to let her "think"...

house breaking Phoebe is 13 weeks now, we got her at 8 weeks old. We still keep a close eye on her, but after 10 weeks she started to sit at the door. Also, we have 2 bells tied to a ribbon near the base of the door, we would kick the bells each time we would take her out. the funny thing...

what does it take? We would like to know what steps to take to get our Phoebe to become a therapy dog, she really seems to have a gentle disposition (this is our first boxer, she is 12 weeks old). This is something we would really enjoy doing but we don't know exactly what steps to take along...

Phoebe is 12 weeks old, a few times, when we've had friends over, she gets so excited she cant contain herself and dribbles just a little. I had a cocker spaniel about 10 years ago and that dog was HORRIBLE about this, we had to put her in another room for at least 30 minutes to get her to calm...

just wondering what age Phoebe will begin to lose her teeth? She is almost 12 weeks old and one of her front teeth seems a little loose, also, it appears she has a tooth coming in from the upper jaw, just wondering what age they begin losing their teeth. Monte & Nichole parents to Phoebe...

to CJ's mom Our Phoebe looks a little thin at 11 weeks as well, she is right around 14-15 lbs i'd guess (she goes to the vet again on monday, so she'll get weighed then). she has gained a lot of muscle but we can see her ribs and hips, the last couple weeks i really thought she was too thin...

ok, i've heard the term used over and over, and being relatively new boxer owners (we've had phoebe 3 weeks), we're not sure what kidney beaning is. most of the other terms on here we've figured out. thanks Monte and Nichole parents to Phoebe - 11 weeks, docked and floppy

metal guard on outside Our puppy is only 11 weeks old, but we do have a screen door and she pokes at it and wants to lean up on it. luckily, the house we live in had a decorative metal barrier on the outside of the door. it covers the lower half of the door and screws in on each side, when...
