Lenox absolutely ADORES sitting in people's laps. She also likes to play a little rough. She's only nine and a half weeks old. I want to be sure she will grow up to be a strong, competent dog, but at the same time it's wonderful to have her so sweet and loving. What kind of games and other activities can we do with her to help encourage well-rounded growth?

Harley is 13 weeks old and LOVES to lay on us. If we sit in the floor, she comes right over and lays on us. She does sometimes get a little rough. We are putting her in obedience school in the next couple of weeks so we hope to be able to have a little better control over the roughness. She is just playing and now it's cute, but when she's 60 lbs it won't be so funny...

I'm not Miss Experience with boxers, but from what I hear socialization at an early age is great for them. Start teaching her things like sitting or a fetch game. Harley loves it and she learned to sit very quickly. It makes you feel good to know you have taught them something. Also, hide and seek is a fun thing to do with them.

Boxer Buddy
My max is 2 years old and he still thinks he is a lap dog. You can see him in my picture gallery sitting with hubby. He thinks he is a poodle sometimes i think. He is a very fun very loving dog always wanting to hand out kisses and hugs to everyone. And she is rite playing hiding and seek is a great game to play with them. And you will also see in my gallery max watches over our house make sure knowone sneaks in on us!!

Wow! I love your Max--what a gorgeous dog. Our dog has become a little more alert to strange noises in the past month or so, but she has a long way to go. Neither one of us have quite figured out the hide and seek game yet. =)
