Really, without doing x-rays you don't know if it has affected the bones. If your dog doesn't seem to be having problems I wouldn't worry too much about it. That is not to say something won't come up later on that was caused by this. I'm not an expert, but I think you or your vet would have...

I am actually helping bring a dog park to our town. We are a small community of around 17,000. I'm very excited for this and have worked hard in developing it. My question is, weren't there rules posted about aggressive behavior? I know one of our rules is going to be "An owner must remove the...

Look at those sweet baby brown eyes!!! He is just adorable!! lovicon

I just caught this thread. I'm so sorry to hear about her heart murmur. As one who also lost a beloved furbaby to a heart attack I know exactly what you are saying. We do what we have to, even if they are only with us for a short time. I wouldn't have traded any of the years I had with my Roxy...

I have a female with the exact same issue. We had her tested and hers is seasonal allergies. The only food she was moderately allergic to was lamb. We are now doing the shots which seemed to be helping until about 3 weeks ago. I agree with the above poster, ragweed is a major issue here and I...

Well, I went to visit my son at Kansas University this weekend and on my way home stopped in Topeka at the Midwest Regional Boxer Show. I missed the actual showing on that day, but I did get to see a few of the winners and placers and met some breeders from Canada and the U.S. I also FINALLY got...

That just makes me sick to my stomach. :( That poor baby and his family. I just wanna cry for that boxer. I'd be setting some traps and leaving my gun by the door!

Unfortunately, that is part of the "show world" for some. Say a small dog can live up to 16 yrs. or average of 12-14 yrs. If you show or have a breeding program and you keep every dog you show or breed for it's entire life, you probably won't get many years of showing and breeding. Unfortunately...

Welcome from Great Bend, Kansas!! Lawrence has a very nice dog park by the way. My son is getting ready to attend KU in the fall there. :)

I agree with the above post. Be careful what you use because you can leave a spot if you leather is dyed. We also have leather. You can buy specifically made wipes to wipe down you leather. As for the smell, it sounds like the anal glands to me, it is not a pleasant smell! :lol: I would give it...

Heat also can have a lot to do with it. I know when it gets really hot here my dogs will not always eat as much. I know I don't feel like eating a lot when it gets hot! :lol: Also, have you thought about rotating food? Sometimes they do get a little bored with their meals. Think about having to...

There is a fairly new "designer" breed called a mini boxer. Most do not even have any Boxer blood at all. People pass off these crosses that are created as another form of a breed, which is sad and can be confusing to people just learning about Boxers. There is only one true boxer breed although...

My first boxer girl did this when she was eight one time. Then, on her birthday at age 9 she did it again and died right there of a massive heart attack. I took her in immediately after the first episode (within a few minutes of it happening, we were out on a walk) and the vet listened to her...

He is just adorable!!! Look at the size of those feet! Congrats! :)

I agree with the direct approach with the neighbors. I would just go over there and have a little chat about the dog situation, how you are scared to let your dogs out because you don't want his coming into the yard and having either one get hurt, that you are having an estimate on a new fense...

Well heck yeah we have doggie birthday parties! Mine get gifts and cake. Although I know it is not healthy for them, I do regular people cakes so we all get to eat it! They only get cake twice a year (on each others birthdays) so it's not too bad. They are a members of our family, and I thank...

I'm glad it is just not me! :lol: I thought maybe a new line of boxers I didn't know about! I have a feeling part of the problem is also they do not place your son higher in the pack than they are. They need to learn the pack order, and that your son above them. You need to start training...

How old is this neighbor? It sounds like he might have a drug or alcohol problem. Many times people with those issues do not listen or forget what has been said. They "zone out" as you said he did. Anybody who would dangle a cat over a fence knowing that injury may occur to the animal sounds...

I am not on very often anymore, I didn't realize you had lost your beloved Cami. I'm so sorry, Cami was a beautiful special girl. I loved hearing your stories about her, and you were a wonderful boxermom to her. May she run free and fast. angelicon

OMG that just made me gasp! That poor boy! It breaks my heart to see any dog suffer, but to be starved to death, that makes me sick. I hope he finds a loving forever home, he deserves it. :)
