We had to rehome our 2nd boxer - we had gotten our boxer Sadie just one month after my first boxer Bob died - it was way too soon and I just couldn't devote time to her and I had way too high expectations for that poor puppy. My husband found a wonderful home for her with a family that had a...

We had to take my first boxer regularly to the vet for his anals - no way was I going to do it - it was absolutely worth the $16 every 6 weeks or so! Good luck - Buzz's mom

Buzz keeps freaking out with his kennel, too . . . They are helping me out at his puppy day care with the crate but someone is with him practically all the time there. That's just not possible for me - I need to sleep some time! Actually, if I sit with him for a bit he calms down enough to...

Buzz's appetite is back but we're still having problems with the crate and potty training. I really whoop it up when he goes outside which is usually first thing in the a.m. but it seems like any other time of the day I can't get him to go potty outside. We go out, walk around the yard...

He's eating Iams Puppy food - which he's been on since he was weaned. My vet approved the food, but suggested I switch to Eukaneba. He's drinking plenty of water, just not interested in his food.

He is still fighting us with the crate, he won't go potty outside when he's supposed to (I thought puppies had to go at least every hour - mine can hold it for 3-4 hours and he is 10 weeks old today), and since yesterday he's not even eating very good. He got his first set of shots yesterday so...

We made it through the night! Buzz stayed in his crate all night - he cried, barked, howled for about 20 minutes, then settled down. I heard him a couple of more time during the night, just a bit of whining, then he was pretty upset again around 5:30 this morning. We get up at 6:00am so by...

And he just hates his crate, or any type of confinement. He absolutely goes nuts when I latch the door. I've tried leaving the door open, throwing treats and toys in, he goes right after them, we throw a HUGE party, he comes right back out and we repeat it over & over. As soon as that door...

We're getting excited - Buzz is coming home with us tomorrow. We will be crating him and we're going to have someone come in twice a day to let him out. His current "mom" says he is doing great going potty outside but she is a stay at home mom so she does have an advantage. I've decided not...

We're getting our new boxer puppy this Saturday, April 29 and I can hardly wait! As soon as I can get pictures I'll try to get them posted. We had our first boxer for 10 years before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge and have decided we finally ready to add to our family. Thanks from Buzz's mom!

and my husband is freaking out . . . it's been 11 years since we've had a puppy and we both work full time outside the home. Our biggest concern is getting him potty trained. The puppy will be 9 weeks old when we get him so I know he can't "hold it" for too long. I'll be home with him the...
