My male and female boxers.... 6 yo each

Great looking dogs there. I've always wanted Boxers. I made a deal with my ex that If I let her get a dog she wanted, that the next dog we got would be a boxer. Guess what she got a Puggle as our first dog, then somehow I ended up with a Golden Retriever as the second. Now they are both mine too. So it will be a long time before I get my Boxer.

By the way..... in the background to the left....you can see my winter smoke shack.... enclosed gazeabo with hot tub........

they will eat you the next time you sleep !

Gook looking dogs. Are they bro and sis?

no.... both the same age.... the female on the right we got at 12 weeks from a litter. The male on the left we rescued at 10 months.....

Gold, those are 2 very nice looking boxers you have. Trained well?

Like Boxers heap! Sweet and alert and like to play! Had one when I was kid....

Now, Chief gonna poke fun: Gold, you have sandpaper and paint brush?

Beautiful dogs, we had a boxer for 11 years. Dang things are puppies their whole lives. Ours was great with kids, all neighbor kids could come into the yard with our kids, but he wouldn't let adults in. May get another one this Spring.

I noticed that to.... Spring project....

I'm going to look into the Boxer rescue thing; you obviously got a good dog. Did it take long for him to adjust to your family?

When we rescued him 5 years ago.. I went to website Northeastern Boxer Rescue..which services PA,NY,NJ,MD,DE....

One day I was just browsing the site, looking for a young male boxer around the same age as the female we had. She was absolutely driving us crazy.. She wanted to play 24 hours a day.. We hoped to get a second dog to keep her occupied......And there he was ....I showed his picture to the wife and kids, and they immediately fell in love with him...

We contacted the rescue, filled out an application, and had someone come to our house to do a site visit. All the while they could not guarantee us him if someone already approved came along and wanted him before we were approved. It was a long two weeks....

When we got the call telling us he was ours......we couldn't wait to get him.... We talked to the rescue the night before we picked him up......They warned us, though he is a well adjusted little boy, he was an incarnation of a category 5 tornado.

He was 10 months old. A couple bought him from a breeder. They broke up and the girlfriend left him with the boyfriend....He wasn't able to give him the amount of attention he felt needed, so he gave him to the rescue.

He immediately bonded with our female boxer.... He was much better trained then she was... and still is 5 years later..... He is the biggest teddy bear....He loves everyone... He thinks he is a lap dog, and doesn't hesitate to plop his 68lb. body on top off you every chance he gets. We did find out at age 4 that he had a small heart rythm problem, which requires prescription medicine... But he is doing fine the medicine is working, and he should live a full life...

It really makes us feel good to have rescued him..... To think that someone gave him up is almost to hard for me to comprehend..........

Rescuing a dog is a great feeling......I feel that they know you saved them.... and they love us even more because of that.....

Thanks, good story. I found the local rescue place. Our Boxer was absolutely nuts, I think they all are, and we want another. Its been several years and I still miss him. Guess I better get a fence put up.

And good job on the ears. We screwed up and had ears cropped on ours, a horrible thing to do to these dogs, but was the standard back then (for some reason...)

gorgeous dogs...had a housemate from Sweden for a few weeks when I lived in Hawaii. She used to show her boxers. They were sweet.

The picture shows them patiently waiting for me as I pull up the driveway coming home from work.

My son took the picture...calm before the storm....

ah well a little slobber never hurt anyone, right?

I have four dogs, had to dig a hole in the garden for one of them last march, got a new pup to help fill the hole in my hart... Love dogs,

Nice story!!
