First let me say that I was new to the whole Boxer thing, I used to raise Shar-Peis, when my Miko died from cancer we decided to try a different breed. My sister owns a pet store and had a mixed breed brought in, my sister called and I rushed over and fell in love with Jack. Jack is my baby but not a full boxer. A year later I got Katie from her, papers and all. Katie is a beautiful full bred boxer. Now I have 2 dogs one pure Boxer, one half boxer.
My sister called me at work a few months ago and asked if I could come over after I got off. I went to the store and laying on the floor by her feet was Baxter, he was shaking, I wasn't sure if it was from the cold or that he was just scared. He could hardly walk and you could see every rib he has, not to mention the backbone. My heart melted and I new that my husband who's motto is NO MORE ANIMALS would agree we needed to get him well. My sis said that the people who bought him from her didn't take care of him and she called the Breeder who said she didn't want anything that looked like him, she wouldn't be able to sell him looking that way. My youngest son fell in love with Daxter and he now belongs to him. He stated when I brought him home, "I have enough love to get him well, can I keep him?' So now Daxter whose name changed due to a new happy life is getting well, he had some problems but we are working on them. The vet is wonderful and understanding. My son has a best friend and Daxter is learning to be happy again.
