My name is Mandy, mom to two kids (3 yrs and 1 yr) and wife to James. This is our first boxer and we are so excited. Her name is Lucy is she is currently 8 weeks old. I look forward to all the valuable info I can gather from this site and its members!

Wowwwwww she is just the sweetist little thing.

Welcome to BF  We have a bit of puppy fever on here at the moment so im sure they'll all give you loads of help and advice for your little one and you.

OMG - how adorable she is! I can't wait to watch her grow!!

Welcome to the forum!!!

 

[DiamondLucy]

Thanks for the welcome! She really is cute. She is so small it seems from what I'm seeing in the pic section of the other pups around the same age. I am having a little issue with her weight - she seems so skinny suddenly (like in the two days we've had her!) so we'll talk to the vet tomorrow. Maybe she is just dainty, we'll see

 

[zulu]

Ahhh poor baby, maybe she is just a little upset from leaving the litter and her fur mummy, in no time she will be huge. . .. lol. . ..and your wonder where the little puppy went to.

Zulu almost grew over night, in stages though, he was leggy with a small body and then the rest kinda grew in to proportion, he was quite ribby aswell. Not no more though, 92lbs of solid Boxer boy (dont worry, he is just big, i doubt very much your girl will go to that, prob only half that!! :lol:  :lol:  :lol: )

Hello and welcome! she is adorable. There is a ton of wonderful information throughout the forum, especially in the puppy sections. Please make sure to read through it, you wont be disappointed

92 lbs! WOW!

I think she will definitely be on the small side for a boxer. Her parents aren't huge and we are thinking she will be around 50-55 lbs at the most but that's just our guess.

We have a 5 year old pomeranian so anything bigger than 12 lbs seems big to me!  :lol:

I also am not used to short haired breeds and am learning about how they deal with temperatures. Lucy shakes a lot outside and I can't tell if it's the breeze or nerves. I do think her nerves are a factor in her weight. I hope we can put a little meat on her bones soon.

50-55lbs is normal for a healthy female boxer

You'll have to post an album in the gallery of both your doggies, my two maltese poddles are on there too, so your pom is welcome to get some air time too. . . .we even have a section for your other pets :lol:  

Would love to see more pics of your Boxer and pom  We love pics on BF

Hello and welcome to the forum Mandy is just adorable.

 

[tootsie]

:-h Welcome to the forum! From what I can tell, Lucy looks like an adorable healthy pup!

 

[PradazPurdy]

I wouldn't worry about her appearing a little skinny... puppies grow fast & the Boxer is a lean breed to begin with. It's normal once they're full grown to see the last few ribs.

 

[Mizorie]

Welomce to the BF"s You are in for a real treat. You will love your pup like no other

Awww, look at that cutie patootie Welcome to the forum...Tons of great advice and always feel free to ask questions, ther eare no stupid questions...It's not uncommon for pups to go "off the feed" for a few days when they come home..Flick did for about 3 days, but he quickly got into the swing of things
