I am new to the forum ( just couple of weeks) and bought my first Boxer puppy ( Gus ) almost 7 wks ago . And doing research and reading about all the health issues that surround boxers are there any that can be avoided? Hip displasia , thyroid , the heart problems and all the horrible scary stuff that I have read about. To make the books sound like they are a walking health issue.
Do I have to be concerned, or just take care of him the best I can and love him and hope that further down the line the roll of the dice that none of that comes up?
I am not scared , just a little concerned.... If I look back, my mixed female that I have had for the last 10 years is now having hip problems, and allergies , and stomach problems. and she is MIXED....lol So I guess is could be just a crap shoot?
Maybe some of you can give me some advise or just tell me if it ain't broke just don't worry about it.. :lol:
Thanks.
