OHHHH!!!! Forgot to tell you about all white boxers!!!!! BE careful!!!! White boxers tend to have alot of health problems. When I got into breeding I learned that they were considered defective dogs. For example I do not think you can register a all white boxer with the AKC. Unless things have changed but for show dogs you can not show an all white boxer. Don't get me wrong the make great pets but I learned that all white boxers are the ones out of the litter that can be born deaf. Here is some info from a boxer site "According to the American Boxer Club "Approximately twenty-five percent (and this is an estimation as exact records have not been maintained) of all Boxer puppies are either white or almost all white, making white puppies neither 'rare' nor 'unusual.'" Since the white coat color is recessive, both parents need to be a carriers of the gene that creates white offspring. The boxer breed standard stipulates that two-thirds of the body be either fawn or brindle in color. Because of this limitation, white boxers do not meet the breed standard and are therefore frequently euthinized at birth. Many breeders feel that white Boxers are inferior to standard colored Boxers and have more health problems that standard colored boxers and therefore this genocide is easily dismissed. The American Boxer Club does not activly discourage this behavior but it does allow white Boxers to be registered with the AKC on limited privilege." 7. White boxers can be registered BUT the white boxer does not meet the American Boxer Club's standard. The members code of ethics states that it is a infraction to register with the American Kennel Club a boxer of any color not allowed by the Standard.

Again not saying they are bad dogs at all I had a friend that owned a white boxer a male name was Mikey!!!! He was a great dog and was solid as a rock just a little agressive sometimes. If you want a good looking quality boxer and since you are going to be in Texas call Bargary Boxers 985-882-6976 it is a husband and wife (Barbara and Gary) they are in Louisana I met her at a dog show when I lived in Houston a few years ago. She had a female like I had never seen beautiful dog. LMK if you have any other questions!!!

I need to toss my 2 cents in here as well, sorry. I have a real problem with paying that much for a dog when you can go adopt a WONDERFUL dog from a shelter. I do not believe in breeding dogs when there are so many amazing dogs that are destroyed on a daily baises simply because no one wants a mut. Fuck that. Both of our dogs are rescues and they are both wonderful additions to our family.

 

I BEG you to check out Franklin County Shelter or some other animal rescue (even a boxer rescue) if you can. Finally PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spay or neuter your dog.

 

Edit: and killing a dog because it cant be AKC registered is fucking horrible, those people should have their testicles or ovaries placed in a vice turning very slowly.

T Rex I agree...being that I once breed them I think $400-$600 for a boxer is fair anything over that is crazy and I feel the breeder is taking the buyer for a ride. Some great dogs are mutts as well yeah you can also check boxer rescues many people get these types of dogs and don't know how to handle them. Boxers are full size dogs but the think they are lap dogs!!! LOL Or even an older boxer that has grey hair...I think those are so cool. I like older dogs just that like to go out and strool through the park.

Well that sucks. That will break my girlfriend's heart

I'll keep that in mind

 

I believe the biggest health problem involved with the whites is that they go deaf early on in life. I have no source to cite for this, I just remember when my fam was getting a dog I wanted us to get a Boxer but we instead rescued a mutt who had just given birth to a litter from the shelter.

definitely do NOT support the breeding of white boxers. I won't even get into it, but they should never be supported.

 

if you want a connection at boxer rescue, PM or email me. I used to be an active member but still have plenty of contacts and know the folks here in Columbus.

I agree....white boxers should however, be spayed or neutered to avoid them fostering pups.

  • 3 weeks later...

Finally got her home

 

Her name is Layla, she is nine weeks old and is the cutest thing I have ever seen...

Sorry for crappy iPhone pics...

So far she has been a breeze. Little potty accidents here and there but mainly all she does is sleep. She is almost potty trained and working on kennel training. Wish me luck!

Cute as can be. I remember when ours were that small. Would play for 1hr, sleep for 2hrs.

 

Another tip....get a small kitchen timer...the kind you wind to 60 minutes and it lets off a loud ringing bell.

 

Set the timer for 30 minutes and when it rings, instantly take her to the door and let her outside. Just make sure to keep a throw rug or something there.

 

Do this every single time it rings. Gradually extend the time. You'll know when you go too long :) We did this religiously and it was great. To this day, our male will bark to go outside when the same timer goes off. We use it for the Time-Outs the kids are in. Funny as shit.

 

It's a PIA, but it works. Besides, when you have kids, it will prepare you for the non stop care for them too. :o

How do you get their ears to stay up?

the picture with the bandage on the ear is why i wonder...I would like to get a boxer when im not a broke ass and get my own place

 

Clip the ears and prop them with the device and tape you see in the pictures. They heal(from the clipping) pinned up. Thats why you need the device on them until it heals.
