Charlie is 9 weeks old, and needs a friend to play with. Now, I know he isn't supposed to have contact with dogs that aren't current with their vaccinations, so I am hoping anyone who responds will keep that in mind for the sake of my puppy.

I think he needs more interaction with dogs than he is getting with training class once every other week. I'd like for him to get some more dog-dog socialization so can learn some more socialization skills & get some fun energy out, it seems nothing I can do will match the play time he has with his siblings who are in AL or his boston terrier friend that is 2 hours away...

We can't go to a dog park yet, too many other dogs & germs, but maybe we can meet at a dog friendly area that is a little safer for puppies.

He has had 2 sets of shots already, he is allergic to fleas but he is on revolution so that pretty much takes care of it. He is on meds still for his allergic reactions...but he is fine to play.

His training classes don't start for 2 more weeks but he already understand Sit & Down. (we are working on Come but its a tough one sometimes).

If I can't find anyone that has the patients for a puppy his age, I might take him to doggy daycare just to get the interaction he needs (but that scares me even if the dogs are supposed to show proof of vaccination, it just seems like a lot of dogs).

If there is another boxer puppy his age around town that would be great too.

awe bummer, I wish you were closer too. We have an interview at a doggy day care for day care & obedience classes, so if all else fails they require that everyone shows proof of vaccination. I would much rather him play with boxers though, because I don't really know or understand other breeds well enough to moniter his play with them yet. The only other dog he has played with was a Boston Terrier (my hubby best friend's dog) and they were the exact same size hehe except Charlie is still a baby...and they played fine together, but he too is far away. He is 2 hours so we take turns traveling to visit on the weekends.

Good luck with you boxer friend search! Charlie sends you some slobber kisses! (good luck with your first week, everyday gets a little easier)

I am in Lake Forest, not far from Irvine. Would you like to meet half way somewhere at a regular park? or a park in your area? (I am not sure where you are).

I've never been to a dog park, I don't even actually know where one is. I'm not very far from you though. I am in San Dimas, just off the 57. I think it would be better if we met some where less germy though, since your baby doesn't have all the shots yet. We almost lost a dog to parvo once by taking it to a j.v. football game back in high school, so I am kinda paranoid about it. Do you know of anywhere safe from germs that they could play at?

OH yeah, I wouldn't want to meet at a dog park. I wasn't sure how the other parks are though as far as germs...just a regular park kids play at? Fullerton seems like it is right inbetween us, how far is Fullerton from San Dimas? I don't really know any parks around there (I just moved here from Seattle a year ago & haven't ventured very far)...but I could probably find one online. :) I wish I had a yard...I know of parks by me that are pretty clean, but I don't think you'd want to drive this far...I think we are at least 1 hour away from each other.

My mom has a big backyard if you want to come up here. It is germ free, but my family has a lot of dogs. All friendly, but I wouldn't want to over whelm him. (you can see all the dogs in my gallery) Charlie is so cute. I was so excited to be the first one to sign his guestbook. lol. Anyway, I will ask around and see if there are any good places to meet in fullerton or brea. I could also come down there if you know of a safe place to play. I go farther than lake forest just to go to the dentist.
