We normally do exercise them off the lead as they get a hell of a lot more exercise that way. Ali doesn't tend to go for dogs straight away when both dogs are off the lead, and I did think that she was trying to protect Bronson when she did attack. Bronson think's it's a game so he barks...

I never thought I'd need to use this forum to search for tips on how to treat aggression, up until now. Backgound We have two boxers - Ali who is 2 years, and Bronson who is 11 months. We've had Bronson since he was 8 weeks and they're both fixed. A few months ago we noticed that Ali was...

Alternative therapy Hi - our 18month old boxer has had skin problems for most of her life - demodex initially, now that's cleared up, but she has the typical allergic reaction symptoms (red paws, itchiness, hives). We think maybe some grasses and food set it off...but so hard to diagnose...

thanks That's helpful, thanks everyone. We'll hold off on the leather/rawhide...and get some canon bones (the huge cow leg bones) to give the little fella something safe to munch on. We used to give canon bones to our other boxer when she was little, kept her occupied for ages. As a...

We've just introduced a 9wk old male boxer (Bronson) into the house, as a companion to our 1yr old female boxer (Ali). One week in and we've been watching them like hawks, keeping eyes out for signs of aggression. They licked each others faces when they first met, and seem to be getting...

ditto We've just last week added another fur-baby to our household, Bronson - male aged 9wks, as a companion to our 1yr old female Boxer (Ali). So far so good. Separate food bowls, fed in same room but I stand between them to stop migration. Joint water bowls = no problems. Although...

Yesterday we picked up our new Boxer - Bronson, who is 8 weeks old. He's taken a liking to our other boxer's pigs ears (dried chews) .. We're not sure if this is ok for Bronson to be eating at such a young age, or if it doesn't really matter and we should let him just enjoy them? The pigs ears...

Now that is one cute waddle! (Interesting link there with her 'almost' namesake - Alley McBeal)

Ali, aged 10mnths. Nic, aged 21yrs (again).

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone can advise if its OK to feed boxers seafood, in particular - mussels ? Cheers

Well she has been biting at her legs and feet ... so maybe it's food allergy. She is a picky eater also. We feed her around 75% premium and 25% raw/leftovers. Have been on Eukanuba, now on a German brand called Bosch. (heard of it?) I also wondered if it might be due to separation...

I have a 12 week old pup who has developed little spots where her hair is thinning. Have done a search on this already, and don't think its seasonal alopecia, as it's tiny spots all over her body. She's recently had what the vet thought was a very mild dose of kennel cough...but that's...
