Hello everyone, I live in Berlin/Germany with my 5 year old Boxer-Girl. I always liked Boxers but she made a total fan of me. I like the idea to have conversations here with Boxer-Fans all over the world, especially about what's typical about Boxers.

Hope you excuse my bad english. :cheers:

I just removed the picture. ;)
What I would like to know: Are there Boxers who are not ball-addicts?
If one would raise a puppy without ever let him play with a ball, would he (as an adult) ignore a ball or could he also be a ball-junkie like the one who always played with a ball?

Welcome from Ontario :cheers:

I think being a ball dog has more to do with the drive the dog has which is bred into them. I have som dogs who have always had access to balls but couldn't be bothered with them. I have other that have never seen balls and the moment they do they go crazy for them.

Would love to see a picture of your girl :)

Duke has a ball that squeaks he likes that here and there, but not a big "ball" guy. When Sam the boxer comes over to play, Duke is than all about playing with a ball because Sam loves balls. Duke does love stuffie toys, he always has to get a baby to "show" us when we come in the house it's cute..

First post

I've been on the forum for several years but never posted. I just had to put down my three year old girl because she went into heart failure. She had a defective tricuspid valve and ARVC. The cardiologist said she had at best 6 months, with loads of meds and no playing. Not a life for a boxer. I'm looking for info on a couple of out of state breeders, I'm in NE Ohio, because I don't trust the breeders in my area.

Thanks a lot! :)
Duke LOVES balls. The bigger, the better! lol
Is that not a problem for you? My dog is used not to go on the street (where the cars drive) but I am not sure: If there are kids there in the summer, they have always balls with them. And if she sees a ball, she would run there and steal the ball from the kids. So I always have to be careful or put her on the leash. Actually I try to make my "whistle back" perfect, so that she would come back to me even if she sees a flying ball hundred meters away.
