He gave him away because he was breeding his brindle boxer with a breeders white boxer (I know that boxers shouldn't be breeded with other white boxers) and they got a litter of 15 puppies! Only one came out deaf though and they all got a home! Even the deaf one. So before all this happened my friend said he could get one puppy from the breeder since he had the dad boxer, and offered to give us the boxer once he got it. So he gave it to us and we keep the breeder informed on the puppy we have and he visits his parents here and there.
