Whats the perfect age.

Well...

First my Dogs all (so far) meet AKC Breed Standards. The have no allergies, skin conditions or illnesses so far known. They are not over weight and come from a healthy well bred background of registered Boxers. MY Males both being Brindles should from what I have read give me Brindle Pups. Preston Being From a brindle father and Fawn mother and Peggy Sue Being From a Fawn Fawn with her being "flashy" should five me in hopes Flashy Brindles and some Flashy Fawns becuase both parents have a good amount of white and still un 1/5 of their coat is white. I hope to bred these two first.

I am hoping ot keep a Fawn Brindle or Bb mix with my leiiter to in hopes get a mixed coat. I hope Since Peggys Mom was primarily white and unshowable that that may give me some white with brindle patches by breeding her to Brutus who is Brindle mom and Brindle dad. The same effect may be obtainded by breeding her to preston.

These are the results I am hoping for that is why i am researching. I have been talking to Newcastle about this hoping for more information on ewhat to expect.

To continue My family all love my Boxers they keep saying"so when you bringing my dog back over" I reply with "yopur dog" They are well mannered, calm, and playful dogs and listen very well. I am hoping with this they will bring good mannered litters and extend their name as good parents.

Iw as a kid in JRHIGH and a friend of mine's parents bred dogs for a living. they had specific dogs people wnted and they researched. bopught, bred and sold litters for that reason. I dont want to try and breed for the sole perpose of income. I want to breed to get better looking Boxers who may one day be in show.

If you want more information please ask. I feel as if i had streached this out pretty far but will be glad toa dd more in any area that you would ask on.

Now (again - just asking questions) your first three paragraphs you mention coat color you are hoping to achieve, is this your main reason to acheive a certain color?  Or is there certain characteristics like topline, head, square body you are trying to acheive in your pups?

 I hope Since Peggys Mom was primarily white and unshowable that that may give me some white with brindle patches by breeding her to Brutus who is Brindle mom and Brindle dad. The same effect may be obtainded by breeding her to preston.

If Peggy's mom has over 1.3 of her coat, then she should not have been bred in the first place (code of eithics) and hence Peggy could have these white or checked genes hence in reality she should not be bred from either - yes she can give more flash due to her lineage, but she can also produce having the white gene deaf and blind pups.  Deaf and blind comes from a lack of pigment carried out in dogs who are white.  - that just something I want to mention as a possible outcome of breeding her.

- You can plan and play with genetics, however its like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.  And genetics should come way below the topic of Health (IMO) and then the standard.  I would find a handler or someone with knowledge of the breed to evaluate Peggy (genetics aside) and find out if she is to standard or not.

Jennifer is a great resoure of knowledge!

I want to continue to get boxers that meet breed standards as far as looks and size, but I want to have them with interesting coats. I don't want to just breed anything with anything to get cool coats, I havent found any PROOF that white boxers are prone to deafness and blindness IMO it is a farce cry to stop their breeding, a scare tactic. Again I dont know for sure but have found no proof to that topic.  But I dot want to start a White Boxer debate so I will drop that issue and not coment on it again from this point on.

I love booxers. I would love to have a checkered brindle and a Seal Brindle if these are the current names for the coats. I feel as if looking into what makes this accur and breeding for that purpose is ok. If someone wants to buy one of my litter I am fine. If no body wants any of them... I am ok there too. If someone buys one and brings it back cool by me. I have no problem collecting 1000000000000000 boxers. (my pocket might no like it, but it will adjust accordingly)

Just because your dogs have no allergies, skin conditions or illnesses, and come from healthy well bred background of registered Boxers does not mean your dogs meet the breed standard.
A boxers looks and temperament are the way they are because that is what the Standard says they should be. If boxers are being bred without conforming to the breed standard, we are going to create two different types of boxers. We will have the "show" boxer and the "pet" boxer which are going to become two entirely different looking dogs.
The best way to determine whether a dog is to the standard is to put it in the show ring to be judged by someone who has studied the standard. When there are several different dogs in the show ring, you can easily see the differences and/or faults in the dogs. We all love our dogs, and think they are beautiful and the best dogs ever, however without being involved in showing and having your dogs judged on the breed standard, you really wouldn't have any idea if your dogs are meeting the breed standard.  The main reason behind dog shows is to pick out the ones that are up to the standard and are of breeding quality.
If you are considering breeding at all, you should be breeding only those dogs that come from reputable breeders that have been fully health tested AND fit the Standard.
