Hi There!

[lilliansmith]

Hello,
I am a boxer lover just as you all are. Sadly about a month ago my fiancee and I lost the love of our life Apollo (our boxer) in a horrible accident. He suffered a spinal cord injury while trying to escape from his cage. We did everything that we could to save him (MRI, surgery, ventilators, etc...) but in the end we had to let him go. I am now in the process of researching breeders to find another baby to give our love to.
My game plan is to check out local dog shows and talk to breeders there. I am wondering if anyone could help me with what questions I should ask them?
Thanks,
Clara

I am sorry for the loss of your boy.

You could also consider rescue. There are many rescues with lots of Boxers in need of a good home.
