I have two seven year old boxers (sisters from same litter) and they have been left to rule the house from day one, sleeping wherever they like. Now that they are about 5stone+ each and take up most of our double bed between them, either my better half or I end up sometimes having to get out of our bed and go into the spare room - not a good situation!
We are buying a little puppy - Kato - a male fawn coloured boxer and picking him up in three weeks time. We have ordered a crate for him and intend to put him in this overnight from word go and attempt to have one well behaved little boxer pup.
We couldn't cope with three large boxers trying to get onto our bed at night. Oh, I forgot to mention, we also frequently babysit for my mum's boxer Zak. And guess what - he also likes the comfort of OUR BED!
I need to get some control back in our house, 'cause it is definitely a dogs house at the moment.
