My name is Leyla, and I am the proud new mom of a boxer pup named Butchie.
We recently rescued Butchie from an abusive, neglectful situation....he is only 5-6 weeks old This included being chained in a basement (I know, makes you want to explode) and being taken from his mother before being properly weaned. I have been supplementing with puppy milk replacement formula, as well as a high quality soft puppy food. We know for sure that his mom is a purebred boxer female, but no-one can tell us for sure who his father is. Ive rescued a lot of puppies over the years, and adopted them out to good homes after nursing them back to health etc....but Butchie has completely stolen my heart, so he stays with us for good By the look of him, I'd say he has a LOT of boxer in him, but with him being so young, it's hard to tell just yet. We also have a 9 year old lab/boxer mix named Zoey, a 7 year old retriever mix named hannah, a 3 year old english bulldog named Nigel, and a 1 year old great pyrenees named Falcor (who Butchie has taken to really well). Fortunately we also have a big house with a few acres of land! lol
Here is a pic of Butchie taken yesterday.... sorry it's a bit scratchy...crappy camera
Hello & Welcome!! Butchie is just the cutest little guy! I love his face and his coloring!! So glad you rescued him from that awful situation! What horrible people to leave him like that! (Sorry if they're friends or family). Makes me sad to hear stories like that!
Can't wait to see more pictures and hear stories about Butchie and your entire clan!
It sounds as if Butchie came out of a terrible environment. I'd like to chain this person in a basement with no food or water and see how they come out. What is wrong with people?
Kudos to you for rescuing him. :clap:
Thankfully the people we rescued from were not friends or family. I definitely agree that sometimes a taste of their own medicine is what people like this need. Here is another pic for you....this is Butchie, and our great pyrenees boy playing yesterday....hard to believe that there is only 11 months between the two of them! lol
Howdy from Texas!
Soooo glad you rescued that little fella! Our Henry is a rescue also.
What a wonderful range of puppy dogs you have! I'd like to cuddle the Great Pyranees!

What a CUTIE! How could anyone be so cruel to a cutie pie like that!!!!! :x Glad to hear he's found his forever home. You definitely have a full house. Though the more the merrier right!? lol I think DH would have a heart attack if we had that many... though we seem to be working on it! LOL We love PICS!! So don't be shy!
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...
