Good day, my name is Max and we are 3 weeks away from welcome new member to our family. Puppy boxer name Tyson.
I had a rottweiler before, he passed away at the age of 9 and it took me almost 10 years to finally agree to get another dog.
Always loved boxers but this will be my first one. Anything I should know from the start please share. Any/all advice is welcomed!
Thanks in advance

As as Boxer aficionado I think they are the best! They are quite different than a Rottweiler so be prepared! They poop a lot when puppies and need plenty of activity and one on one time when they are babies but I promise you patience and time you will have one of the best dogs. They are sensitive and highly intelligent and just plain fun to be around they dont take life too seriously and easy to groom. I think the biggest mistake people make is inconsistency with training impatience with the puppy and lack of excersise and stimulation of their puppies

I have used Purina pro plan puppy chicken and rice, Royal Canin boxer puppy is very good too I used that for my latest two. One thing to keep in mind about boxers and it’s pretty common is sensitive stomachs so be careful when changing foods and find out what the breedeer is feeding go from there.

I have both a Rottie and Boxer. In some ways they are similar, both need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation being working breeds. Training should start right away. Keep sessions short in the beginning. No more than 1/2 hour. Set rules right away. My personal experience I have found Rottweilers, at least mine, much easier to proof training. Both are extremely intelligent dogs, both pick up training real quick, my boxer's issues when young, were more about him thinking "how much do you really mean the command?" lol They will frustrate you, but try to stay calm, and just keep at it. The effort you put in when they are young will be rewarded 10 fold when they are older.

They are like babies. Need lots of love and a fern hand to make them listen. Couldn’t live with out them. Glad I got my first and only boxer. They are great with children. Hope you have lots of fun with your new puppy.
