My boxer Cash goes to work with me everyday. He sleeps on my sons bed (11 Yrs old) and usually it is nose to nose. Can you imagine the breath from those too. Wow. Anyway, Cash gets up when he does and does his usual pee, eat, poop and then waits for me to get dressed. Then he jumps in the back of my truck for a trip to drop off Conner at school, (usually with a lot of hind end shaking and snorting at the other kids) and then he comes to work with me. I own a small Sign and Graphics company and you can really tell the difference in the dog people and the non dog people.
My sister has 2 Chocolate Labs, and when I say "Lets go see the Girls", I get a lot of head twisting and ears perked up. He comes home and goes straight to bed after that. He is wore out from running in there back yard and playing.
I also posted the story on how I got him in the introductions forum, but some of you may not read much in there, so I will post it below.
We had a friend tell us of someone that had a boxer that they were giving away, cause they had too many dogs. He was a very hansom Bright Brindle and was owned by a older couple. We went and got along well with them and BoBo and brought him home. They had spend alot of time training him and he was a mentally well balanced dog. About 4 days later, we received a phone call from the gentleman and he was crying on the phone wanting the dog back. He gave him to us for free, but said he would pay us to have him back. There was no way I could have morally asked for any money, so we took him back and they have sold there house and moved out into the country to have more room for there dogs. (To sell your house and move for the dogs is DEDICATION)
The next chapter in the search was to go to the pound and found a boxer mix, but he turned out to have problems that we could not overcome, and he bit my son, so he had to go back.
Then we had looked from Memphis to Little Rock and everywhere in between, for a puppy. We found a breeder close to home and bought Cash when he was 7 months old. We took him home and he had skin issues, which we were aware could be a problem in the breed, and took him for his checkup and he had Demodectic mange. We went back to the people to tell them what was going on the they gave us our money back, and are no longer breeding any pups from that blood line.
Cash was treated and is doing just fine. He turned 2 in August and fits in with our family perfect.
