Boxer Traits

[BBurdge]

Funny "positions"?

Tyson can't seem to stand still, either to piddle or poop. He wanders around the yard, as if always looking for the IDEAL spot. But by the time he finds it, he's done. Goofy dog!


Grandma to
Tyson - brindle w/ dark face and white feet
Ali - most gorgeous girl ever, brindle w/ white collar and feet

Also Mom to Cinnamon and Ginger (SharPeis - the original Spice Girls)
and Grandma to Mac - pug w/ an attitude

My Oliver, reset his soul, was obviously an all typical boxer, with all the kidney beaning and woo wooing. But the day he stood on his front legs and lifeted the back ones was the funniest thing ever. It was a very cold winter day and we figured his back feet and legs were too cold!!!

Now we have Twist! She just came to live with us from rescue about 2 weeks ago, but she is blending right in. She is deaf and doesn't bark or woo woo much, but she does have the heavy head, and runs around the yard like the devil is on her tail. She runs so fast her feet hardly touch the ground.

She is the sweetest thing ever, almost delicate sometime with her gentle kisses, then she kidney beans like crazy!! I just love boxers!!!! She is going to be 2 and we are hand sign training her. she has sit memorized already!!

My boxer dexter has a mind of his own chases his tail lays on his back without a care in the world. When doing yard work he bites the lawnmower tires and chases the rake this dog gives me constantl laughs it's great. There's so much more that would take up the screen so I left it short at times he makes me feel like this....

The blood thirsty vaccuum.

Nedra is *convinced* that she has to protect me from the vaccuum and lawn sprinklers.

She actually started getting so nasty with them that I have had to start working with her on teaching her to "out" and "leave it". There were a couple of times that she started trying to pull the inground sprinklers out of the ground with her teeth!!! :eek:

People look at us like we are fools when I am working with her on it, but I don't want to chance any "accidents" in the future and I want her to "Out!" on command if it ever comes down to it.

Boxers. :rolleyes: Gotta love em.

I have a 20 month old female boxer who is an inside dog. She is the biggest baby demanding attention all the time. And yes, we have the gas problem, and she huffs when she is bored or irritated with me. She lays on her back quite a bit. I have a kitten and she love playing with her also. But I think the funniest thing she does is whenever my room mate crosses her leg Roxie sidesteps until her belly is one top of Cindy's (my room mate) foot and then she stands there with all of her weight on Cindy's foot. It is really funny!

Love to be on his back
ALways leads with his head
Just runs around like he is nuts

CHEWING EVERYTHING!!!!!
Anyone have any ideas how to get throught this stage (I hope it is a stage)

Thanks

I would have thought the chewing was just a stage, but my man came home to lunch today to find that our 3-year-old rescue girl had chewed through the remote control to the VCR. She had been doing fine in the house all day. I guess we will be buying my travelling daughter a new one! I thought I had everything put away that she would chew on.

WRONG!

Oh well, at least it wasn't the whole t.v.!

Three cheers to that!!!

 

[BoxrDgLuv]

I have found bitter apple spray or paste to work for chewing. vet said if you come home to find something destroyed...show it to them while spraying a SMALL ammt. of bitter apple in mouth and say NO CHEW....worked for Fenway my 6 yr old male. The puppy isn't chewing really on anything...thank goodness!!!

what is kidney beaning? This was very funny to watch because Dempsey has all those traits. He is the cutest thing ever and we just love him to death. No matter what I do he finds his way onto the furniture to lay down. I swear he thinks he is HUMAN. It may be because he is our only "child" and we spoil him terribly.
