Hello, everybody. First of all I would like to thank you all for helping my family and I to decide on our first Puppy. Because of all the info on boxerworld.com, we decided on a boxer. We have been researching dogs since Dec. 1999. We originally wanted to get a dog for our family (expecially my 6 year old son) for Xmas 1999. However, we wanted to make a good decision. So we waited and looked and waited... At one time we visited our city SPCA for 2 weeks straight. We decide to make a decision soon when my son told us he wanted to break his piggy bank to get a dog. Originally, we looked at Labs and German Sheppards. My wife even at one point wanted a Shih Tzu. But we decided to go with the Boxer, and we got lucky and found our Boxer puppy. We named him Boston.
