salutation and question

[skorp]

hi guys, glad to find a site like this one .... we are picking up a beautiful boxer next week , of course they are all beautiful...the boxer is already 8 months but he took to me from the moment he saw me , the next time i went to visit he stared at me first as if trying to size me up and i guess remembering who i was came running to me like a bat out of hell and just lavished me with affection. he
wouldn't even leave my side the whole time we were there. even as his owner was calling him he would not react but as soon as i called him , straight to me he came... we decided he was the new addition to our family. we have a chow who is my baby, raised him since he was 2 weeks, bottle feeding every 2 hrs from the start, of course 2 hrs. became 5 and so on until he was 3 months. he has always been my guard, protector and most of all my friend , but he is on his last leash on life, he is getting too old to be our protector, SHOGUN is now 14 years old. i also have a shiba inu , named SNOOP, he also is older but still has more years to his leash.
anyway i have a question that maybe, hopefully someone may be able to help me with. the boxer has no pedigree papers with him though he is purebred.
our friend has both parents but he has no papers for them or i think for one of them ... now i was wondering if i wanted to breed someday in the future how can i show that my boxers are purebred?. i would like to show my dogs i do plan on buying a female with papers from a reputable breeder, when i find one. but can i register the pups as purebred bloodlines? do i have to take them to someone that will exam them and pronounce them purebred.?
please help me keep these adorable and fiesty kids pure.. thanks all the help will be appreciated....\

Skorp -

I think that it's great you are doing this research ahead of time. To answer your question, you would not be able to register the pups through the AKC.

I realize that you are new to the site, however I strongly suggest you do a search here on "responsible breeding". Here is a great page that details ALL health testing that beeds to be done, before you should even consider breeding: www.boxerworld.com/health_testing

A friendly reminder as to a couple of things not allowed to be discussed on this site:

Discussion of breeding practices that would be deemed by most to be unethical or irresponsible. This includes, but is not limited to: breeding white boxers; breeding young dogs; breeding untested dogs; breeding for any purpose other than to improve the breed and/or your line). If you wish to post about your breeding program on this site, you need to be prepared to provide evidence of the health testing undertaken

Hi, Skorp (is that your name or your boxer's?) Just wanted to welcome you to the board, especially since you are a neighbor. I'm in New Milford, CT. My boxer is Jessica Tiger and she's adorable. Glad your puppy has bonded with you even before coming home! Good luck. V

no, it's my nickname since i was a 6 years old. i started to draw on my bedroom walls and my mom and her friends caught me. it so happened that one of her friends was an artist and called me a grafitti-artist-in-the-making and started calling me scorp for scorpio and the name stuck. since then friends even their parents have always called me scorp, when i was older , i changed my "c" to "k" hence, skorp.... i'm 36 now, even my wife sometimes calls me skorp... anyway thanks for the encouragement neighbor .. i have yet to pick a name for the boxer... he has a strange name now which i don't like ... hopefully a name will come to me...
