    Seperation anxiety?

    Last night I left the house for a few hours and my grandmother agreed to "bella-sit". I put Bella in her crate and shut off the lights, but left the t.v. on(our normal routine) 20 minutes after I left, my grandmother called me to let me know that Bella was in a panic. Appearently she was...

    American or German?

    I won't be disappointed. I didnt get bella because I wanted a big boxer, I got her because I wanted a companion.

    Everyone mistakes my bella for a Pit Bull.

    Yes, the previous owner poisoned him. One of his friends that lived near me recognized Mak as his dog "Capone" and told him where we were located.

    American or German?

    Both of bella's parents exceeded 70 lbs. I thought she was going to stay on the smaller side, because she was the runt, but she outweighs the one sibling that I still have contact with the owner.

    Everyone mistakes my bella for a Pit Bull.

    Its ridiculous that the only attention that our beloved "bully" breeds get from the media is negative. Every time something comes up about them its always "person mauled by dog" or "family pet turns on owner". Hate to be blunt, but there are no bad dogs, there are bad owners. Its all in how an...

    Everyone mistakes my bella for a Pit Bull.

    Before I got my boxer, I raised, bred, handled, and rescued pit bulls of all shapes and sizes. I'll tell you guys the story of the last pitbull I rescued.

    Everyone mistakes my bella for a Pit Bull.

    When I'm walking down the street, I can't tell you how often I get asked where I got such a pretty white Pit Bull, or how well the two breeds mix. I just cant get over the fact that no one believes that she is a Boxer. It's like people are shocked when I tell them that she is pure bred and AKC...

    American or German?

    My boxer is only 8 months old and weighs in at 50 lbs already. The vet said that she would be approximately between 90 and 110 lbs full grown, not to mention she is extremely tall. I've noticed that with other breeds, such as Rottweilers and German Shepards, when they come from German lines, are...

    My Bella

    I'm not sure if she is american or german. She is taller than a lot of the boxer puppies I have seen before, but she is thin. I'm thinking more an american line than a german.

    Training a deaf dog?. Any tips?

    Bella is almost completely deaf. She responds well to hand signals and really high pitched noises. Does anyone have any training tips to help us out with the rest of Bella's training?

    This is my Bella. She is mostly white with some light spotting in her skin and coat. She is almost fully deaf in both ears, but can hear some pitches and frequencies. She is 8 months old, and weighs in at almost 50 pounds.

    A huge hello from the dirty south!

    Hi, I'm Krissy, from New Orleans, Louisiana. 6 months ago my fiance and I adopted our boxer, Bella. She is a bilaterally deaf, solid white female. It's fantastic to have found a forum where we can talk to other boxer entusiests.
