Hello everyone! I wanted to introduce myself and my new fur baby. My Name is Andrea and i just recently purchased a boxer puppy (11wks). Her name is Chloe and the is a classic fawn. She is the ulitmate opposite of any boxer i have ever owned. She is very laid back, does not play or romp around. She enjoys sitting on the couch and watching tv or laying in front of the couch and watching tv. She doesnt get up and walk around unless i take her out to go the the bathroom. When it is time to go to sleep i have to carry her upstairs to the kennel, and then back down in the morning. She wont go near the stairs unless my boyfriend or myself is holding her. We have to pick her up and put her in the kitchen to eat and drink becuase she wont get up and do this on her own. I do have to sit with her while she is eating or else she will run back to the couch. She wont eat alone. Has anyone ever had experience with a boxer that is so inactive? She almost appears to be scared of everything or skittish like she has been abused. I dont think that is the case because she didnt act like this when i picked her out-it started after i brought her home. I am not sure if she is just depressed because she was taken away from her siblings and is now trying to get used to her new environment or what. She appears healthy and checked out good with the vet. She is the only fur baby in our house so she gets all the attention. I have owned boxers before and they were just a big ball of energy and excitement-always running and playing and just being a boxer. Any ideas on what i can do to help bring her out of her shell??
we still had to stay with her but i am happy with the small improvement. She also decided to attempt the stairs. She made it all the way up the whimpered until someone came and got her because she was too scared to come back down :lol: I have some pictures of her that i plan to create her an album with and get those added within the next few days.
