    Thanks guys...I checked out the links...some good info...it is interesting though how dogs seem to be attracted to lick wounds.

    Boxer trait or no???

    Spike does the same and it scared the life out of me the first time I heard it...I thought we had a crazy one on our hands. His eyes does a fluttery think as well. I really need to video him someday and play it back to him and see what he does. ;)

    Suggestions to cure lonely/bored boxers

    Spike loves music...I guess he doesn't feel so alone when he hears music in the background. We find him sleeping when we get home rather than creating a mess someplace out of boredom.

    Do your boxer bark?

    Spike is now seven months and he has yet barked...he will yelp if he wants something really really bad. To go outside to do his thing he will sit at the door and whine. Is this normal? It is WONDERFUL...BUT will it last???? :p

    Toys

    Spike really enjoys empty bottels as well..POP bottels are larger than the water bottels so he has fun trying to get his mouth around it. He loves to kick it down stairs and jump after it. Our daughter has given up her baby blankie for him to play tug a war with. We rolled it up in a big...

    I have not had much response to this question before and I have not found anything much off the search either. My question is simply if the saliva of Boxers acts as a healing balm. My husband seems to think so and has got him to lick our kids wounds...I have a hard time with this...U]any...

    cold

    Hey...I understand that Boxers do not fare well with the cold...were in Quebec, Canada where the winters can be on the chilly side. How do boxers enjoy the snow? Is it good to be going for walks in the fall/winter? How does this affect their eyes as Spike has already gotten an affection from the...
