I have a boxer bitch and a french bulldog bitch as well as a male boxer. The girls get along fine now they have sorted out who is the boss (its the frenchie btw!), as long as everyone remembers who is top dog everyone gets on really well. They all eat their meals together and curl up to sleep together and we have never had any serious problems.
My best friend has always kept two boxer bitches and they have always got on very well.

Good luck & enjoy your new puppy.

As many people here will tell you, the two females combination is the least desirable because there's no telling how they'll potentially get along later on, when both bitches are mature (more or less when the youngest reaches 2 years old). It means that your girls can get along wonderfully for 2 years, be the best buddies ever, to suddenly turn against each other in deadly fights. Yes, deadly, because bitches will fight to the death (or until they are removed from each other's sight permanently). You can see how this can become a terrible problem to manage. Males usually fight to establish dominance, but will quiet down once it is done.

On the other hand, all bitches are different personality-wise, and many two boxer girls households are peaceful, too - a lot of people here have had very good experiences. In the end, it's a "bet" to take, hoping that the two females will get along for all their lives. The best combination is definitely male-female, followed by male-male.

I'm sure other people will give you tons of info regarding this But a female-female combination can be risky.

Your girl is really pretty, btw

As many members have already said, it's a gamble whether two females can live together. My Mali was surrendered to a shelter for exactly that reason, and she was less than a year old.

I have two female boxers Ginger( 3yrs.)& Roxy(1yr old).They get along great with each other. It is really funny to watch them play. Roxy is Ginger's shadow. Roxy has even learned a few things from Ginger like how not to play rough with my 4yr old little girl but when they play with my 12 yr old son it is game on. We already had Ginger trained to sit when she is playing with my son and my little girl walks up, Roxy copied her, no training necessary. They sleep together in the same bed, eat together and so on. We have given them equal attention since the first day I brought Roxy home and we have been fine. I was a little worried also to begin with. Not anymore. I even posted questions like you did at first. Sorry to ramble on. I hope this helps you.

One more thing... I have always had female/female combo in my house. I have had a german shepherd, cocker spaniel & a Pomeranian all at the same time. No problems. Also took in a rescue Siberian Husky for about 2 weeks and never had a problem.
