5 month old female puppy

[Asia's Folks]

First off let me thank all of you who replied and tried to help us out. Now let me tell you about the breeder. We bought her from an online breeder's ring. We drove around for 6 hours to find the breeder, who couldn't help us with directions because she was Amish and doesn't drive. Then we would write to them with questions or concerns and they would tell me to contact my vet or someone else. We were very unpleased with their attitude. It seemed that once we had the puppy, we were all on our own. I got more information here from all of you guys. Their name is Greenfield Puppies and are located at greenfieldpuppies.com. We did consider all the necessary details when we considered a boxer as a puppy, we had recently lost our rottie in October due to an accident. I now feel we made a hasty decision. We should have waited until our daughter is older. As for Asia, she will have a new home with a big back yard, she will have a playmate and the daughter in that family is studying to be a vet. In our hearts we feel we made the right decision. Hopefully we will all be better off. A coworker of my wife's set the whole thing up. The one thing I regret is that the new owners do not want to stay in contact with us. Asia was never inside a home until she was in ours, so she had to be completely socialized. Our mistake was in our poor selection of breeder. It will be a very long time before I get another dog, and I think I will go with a rottie again. No offense to all you boxer lovers, it's just that we had more success training our rottie. Thanks again to all of you. I am sorry we couldn't handle boxer ownership.

Looking for a playmate

Wondering if you still need a home for your little one. I know that I live a ways away. But I hate to see anything bad happen to her. I currently have a year old male that is Neutered. I am looking for a playmate for him. I am a stay at home mom and can train her. Give me an update.

Asia

I hope this isn"t he puppy I saw on boxerrescue named Asia. It really makes me angry that people get these beautiful animals and after they have them a short time feel like its the animals fault or the breeders fault or one million excuses to get rid of this poor baby. I wouldn't care if I got a dog from the city dump it still deserves to go to a home where it will stay and be taught how to socialize etc. I have yet to see the perfect pet that didn't need some kind of training. Mine came from a rescue and the day I brought him home I promised him that I would never let him be hurt or abandoned again. It has been hard to get him adjusted to some things but I know that the most important thing in the world is that he knows he is loved and he is secure.

No it is not the same puppy. We purchased our puppy from a breeder's ring. I explained all in previous posts. Maybe you should read them all before you pass judgement.

Asia

Didnt say you put her there-maybe since you gave her up the new people did-maybe thats why they didn't want you to have contact with her. Why are you so defensive? Wherever she is I still wouldnt blame the breeder-what 2 or three month old puppy have you ever seen who wasn't full of energy? Like I said-your business but dont go blaming everyone you can think of for a reason to justify your means-if you do not want her then give her up-no excuse needed. The breeder being one nationality or religion really does not matter and as far as socializing-they only socialize with their littermates and mom for the first 5 weeks. Perhaps you just needed an excuse-none needed.

 

[Asia's Folks]

Why I am getting defensive is because of people who pass judgement on others without knowing everything. Until you have walked in others' shoes, you cannot judge them. I know puppies are full of energy. I admitted to the fact that we bought the dog on a whim, and didn't think it out. I have a two year old daughter at home, and between her and the puppy, we were busy. I was trying to house break the puppy, but everytime we let her loose in the house, we would find pee or crap someplace. So she was sending most of her time in her crate, which we felt was unfair to her. As for the breeder, and socializing the puppy, she acted as if she were never inside a house. When I would do normal everyday things like fold clothes, towel off after a shower or even wash dishes, the puppy would go crazy barking and getting excited. As I also stated before, we had a rottweiler who we had to put down after an accident. The loss of our Chyna and the void we feel lead us to buying a new puppy. By the way we raised our rottie from 9 weeks old. I do regret having to give the pup away, but we did what was best for us all. Where did you see the puppy named Asia? Wha did she look like?

doing the right thing

hi asia's folks...
we have an asia too (a fawn)! shes nine months old and a total goofball (as if a boxer wouldn't be silly)!!!

i think that its a really good choice you're making, since you realized you could not give her what you believed she needed as a pup, by giving her to someone who will take good care of her and can give her lots of deserved attention and training (i know it must be very hard to give attention to a puppy and a two year old, i couldn't imagine)!!

all of us make mistakes at some points in our lives...you admitted to yours saying that you did get her a little early and didn't really think about what it would be like with a new puppy in the house and you should've thought about that...but NOW you are doing the right thing by giving little asia what she deserves!

just know in your heart that you are doing the right thing

i think the reason that people are getting defensive because it's not an easy thing giving up a puppy and admitting you were wrong...asia's folks is probably pretty stressed out right now so i think we should all join in and support her for doing whats best for her baby right now like true boxer lovers...just keep that in mind everyone

i just had to add this...i was reading this aloud and when i said asia, our asia came running upstairs and when i said to her 'do you want another asia in the house?' she woo-wooed!!
