Hello from Northern Michigan. We are a first time boxer family, but we have done a lot of web searching regarding boxers. We have a couple of friends that have boxers and they absolutely love them. We actually started looking at boxers a year ago and today we decided to finally get one. His name is Trakkar pronounced like "Tracker". He is a white boxer, mom is brindle and dad is fawn. He's the only white pup in the litter. We know there's a risk of deafness with white boxers, but we just couldn't pass him up. He's so adorable and loves to snuggle with us. We will start off, deaf or not by training with hand/sign signals. I've heard that this form of training really works well. We just can't wait until he comes home.
Here's our new family member. We will be bringing him home in little while.
OMG he is beautiful! I really want a white boxer as well..where in michigan are you, I live in Windsor Ontario, just across from detroit. congrats on the new pup.
Oh, he's BEAUTIFUL! How old is he?? Welcome Trakkar and family! He reminds me so much of our Mic when he was littler...what an angel! You won't be sorry...they are SO worth anything you have to go through...there's nothing better then a boxer in the family!
We are about 40 minutes South of Traverse City near the town of Cadillac. He's about 6 weeks old right now and already starting to eat puppy food. He does still nurse off his mother, but actually prefers food and water out of the bowl. He's quite big for only being 6wks old. When I first saw him, I was thinking more like 10-12 wks old.
Wow he is big for 6 weeks! Will be a big boy!....Welcome you you and your family! Keep us posted on when he comes home and be ready to send some pics our way...This forum is great you will like it here...There is plenty to read on puppies and if you dont see an answer, just ask!
Well, since picking out Trakkar, we debated all night and even this morning about getting a second boxer, one of his brothers. We feel that we will eventually end up getting a second one, so we are debating on just getting one of his siblings that he's familiar with and going through the potty training and other training at one time. We would really like for them to be buddies with each other as well as our two boys. Yes, that will really be a workout if we decide on two, but oh I'm sure it will be fun. :lol:
Anyone have an thoughts getting two right away??????
Hello.
Our 2 1/2 year old female boxer is crazy at times with her anxiety. She had us up all night with her crying and barking and pacing. Any suggestions with products that one may use to help. Thank you
I inherited my mother's boxer 6 years ago. Her love for him was everything in her life, I wasn't much of a dog person and my mother would not put me on her will to care for satch, well all the sudden I had a dog and I told myself I would try my hardest to be a good dog owner and care for him. I...
My boxer has had a dry cough and we took her to the vet and they found this with an X-ray and blood work. Without A CT scan it is not positive that the vet diagnosed it as a twisted lung torsion. Her symptoms don’t really go beyond a dry cough. Her white blood cells are normal. In the last...
The original dog had a very different appearance than the dog that we now know and was bred to be a serious working dog unlike the modern breed. So i began to wonder is anyone in the world producing a dog similar to the original boxer dog attached below is a picture of flocky the first boxer...
This is Rei. She's a girl.
She is finicky about food and I'm still experimenting with different brands. For this reason, I am unable to purchase food in bulk.
Additionally, she perpetually dons a worried look on her face, as if the entire world is looking at her sideways and it's not her own...
