Who's the Boxer veteran?

[Bail's mommy]

Bailey is the first boxer I have ever met!! I adopted him from my friend about 3 years ago or so...He is 7 now, but I've known him since he was a puppy!

Needless to say I'm hooked, just like the rest of ya's :D

 

[My Calla]

Newbie here too. I have had Calla one year as of Nov 12 and she is my first of many, many boxers to come! I will be a veteran one day!

 

[KonaKoffe]

Got KOKO in 1992 she was the first one that I owned personally. Than came Cassius and now Kona. I picked this breed because my parents have always owned boxers since I was born and still do now.

It is amazing that when I was a kid this breed was hardly heard of in this country (my folks are direct from Germany so the choice of a Boxer is a given )

I bought Tyson when I was 20, in May of 2000, he's now a very active 51/2 year old!

We got Bubby in January of 93 at 8 weeks old (before we got married). He passed away 3 days after my father passed in August of 01. We got Babs in June of 94 at 10 weeks old she passed in December of 03. They were brother and sister. We now have Indy he is 18 months old. We got him in July of 04. The 7 months we had without a boxer in the house was the worst. We were hooked from DAY 1 with Bubby. I had never seen a boxer before we went to see his litter. Hubby did a lot of research on breeds before we settled on a boxer.

Xena came to me at 12 weeks old, on Valentines Day, 1997, less than a month after my Dad passed away. My Dad surprised both Mom and me with boxer puppies for Valentines Day. He knew we both always ALWAYS loved the breed! Sadly, Dad had a massive heart attack in January that year and was not around to see the happiness he brought to Mom and me. Then again, I'm sure he was with us spiritually.
Spirit...oh boy! A few BW friends may remember anxiously awaiting with me for his homecoming in January of 2004, at 8 weeks old!
My home will never be without a boxer in it, and if it is, it's only because he/she is outside boxer-burning in the back yard! :D

Well since we can't count the childhood babies. I guess that would make me a newbie.. We got Brandy Feb 2004 and we got Lucy on April 2005.. My dh however got his first boxer when he was 9 which was 24 years ago but since we can't count that.. ha ha

My husband and I gotTaz in the summer of 1994 when he was a baby and my daughter was about 18 months old. We researched the breed as we wanted a large dog, that would be good with kids and were not interested in the typical retriever types. We wanted a dog that would be fun and be a great companion for our daughter. He is now 11 1/2 and she is almost 13 :eek: and Taz has lived up to every reason we decided to get a boxer. We will never own another breed on purpose. My 5 year old daughter and our 6 1/2 month old puppy Laila are pretty attached to each other as well.

 

[Coco'smommy]

We got our first boxer in Feb 1995, she went to the bridge in 2000. Now we have Coco and have had her since March 2004.
