Boxer Puppy now in Top UK daily show

[Lisieux]

Good morning

I was watching Eastenders (soap opera) last night on TV and they introduced a red flashy male boxer puppy (Albert) into the show - as a supposed present for one of the younger actors.

This show is watched by millions and I am worried that loads and loads of people will now want a boxer puppy! They are after all so cute.

They are the most fantastic dogs ever, with the right owners, ones who can accept that they need loads of exercise and firm but fair handling.

I would have been far happier if they had adopted an unwanted puppy from a shelter. Pedigree breeds do not benefit from wide televison/film appeal look at what happened to the dalmation.

I love my two boxers and only hope that any that are purchased because of the TV programme will go to great homes. I hate to think that this time next year the UK rescue organisations will have a host of young dogs needing new homes.

Boxers are the greatest, we did have fun thinking of all the havoc it will cause on the filming set and in the studio. Bouncing around, snoring, beaning, etc. etc.

big story line for albert

having also seen the new boxer pup "albert" in eastenders. i was amazed at how much he looked like our of our maisey "fawn, black face, and very little white" then i also thought of the consequences this may have too the breed & it now seems he is getting a big story line.

qouting an article from tv mag whats on tv:

ALBERT GETS A PAINFULL INTRODUCTION... thers a new mutt in walford and hes out to be top dog! but just moments after roxy has paraded her pet albert around the square garry and keith tell her she is not a responsible dog owner because he as still got all his tackle "roxy realsies they're right and gets the dog seen to by a vet", reveals rita simons who plays roxy. later to celebrate alberts operation she decides to put on a special event at the vic "roxy calls it alberts memorial smiles rita & she makes a special cocktail and pops 2 cherries in it to be symbolic!...

dont really know what to make of it but 1 thing is for sure the boxer is going to get a lot more popular when 16 million viewers watch eatsenders on average
