Well, ok, first I hope everyone is doing fine. Now I realize that you may think some are comming down a little hard on you and i want to treat this as more of an informational post. We all love our babies and this breed very much and to that end many here are extremely committed to breeding pups for the betterment of the breed. The first question a breeder should ask themselves is What is the purpose of this breeding? Having a bunch of cute boxer pups is not a viable reason. There is much involved in the breeding process, or should be, before a sire and bitch are mated. With a breed that is so prone to many nasty diseases, it is paramount that these issues are addressed when breeding. Also conforming to the breed standard is paramount. Breeding for a better head, proper size, temperment ect. or a combination of several traits. That is why breeders should do conformation (in most cases) because they should and most often do have a much better understanding of these issues. I wont even go into the birthing/whelping process which is very involved and can present many challenges and dangers to both mom, pup and breeder. I will not pass judgement here on anyone that I do not know or without the complete picture, but from your original post it seemed that you may have been unprepared for the experience and not completely aware of the many important issues that goes into breeding boxerbabies. Everyone here wants this breed to thrive and be bred to correct standards with the health of the breed being foremost. As I stated I wanted this to be informational and not a criticism, so if you consider future breedings more research and health testing and hopefully conformation will be prioritized
to get the best litter and pedigree possible.
