Hi Guys! New member from Upstate NY.
Me and my family are first time boxer owners, and this first week has been nothing but wonderful suprises. Ive already read through some of the posts on their common behaviors.. so much of that i already see in this dog. Hes a rescue that we managed to manipulate ownership from his previous *ahem* abuser. He is what i would imagine as full grown, close to 2 years old.. and when we first got him he was extreemly "eee-may-she-ate-ed" (emachieated?) heh.. anyways.. at 50 lbs he was so pathetic looking and close to death yet he was still so loving. Hes gained almost 15 lbs this first week alone! (13.5 anyways.. =) He's brindle colored with just a bit of white on his chest. Beautiful dog. He's all but gotten over the only issue he had with food, (would get extreemly hostile twards other dogs who had food or looked at his) and he doesn't seem to goble his food down so hungrly anymore and pays little attention when another dog happens to notice him eating. Were still not letting anyones dogs around him much, and when we do im between them. ;P Anyways i had a few questions and the only question i can remember right now unfortunatly is about this knot on the top, rear portion of his head. It is quite large and from what ive heard from some people is that it is normal and ussually receeds with age.. i assumed it was more prominant because of his health status, but even as he has gained weight it hasnt shown much diffrence. (cant imagine much of that weight finding a home ont he top of his head :P) Anyways any info on this and any other great Boxer info websites you guys might want to share would be great. Im gonna scan though the site to see what i can find in the meantime.
much love
