I have had two in my adult years. Great dogs but the potential health issues make me think twice about getting another. Cancer is very common. The short snout also makes it tough for them to breathe in hot weather. I wish that I could find the same personality in a healthier breed.

My mom has one she rescued from an animal shelter. It was supposed to have bad hip displasia, but mom managed to get it well through diet and exercise and not sure what else. Very protective dog, bit my uncle first time she met him. Loves all of the grand kids.
I'm quite fond of boxers, but still think them to be ugly bastards. |

That's awsome, when I'm ready for another dog I planning on trying to find a boxer to adopt, I won't have time to raise a puppy. I firmly believe that if you are a responsible dog owner, resucues can some of the most loving and loyal pets you can find. Boxers are so ugly they are cute

Cubby
Sometimes he's about as smart as a stump and other times he'll surprise you. He's the first dog I've had that would try to beat you in a staring contest...

My 5 year old boxer, Jack.
We hiked a small mountain earlier in the day and he was so tired that he fell asleep on his way to get into the chair to go to sleep.

Big boxer fan here too!!
We just added one to our family and are loving it. 10years since our little girl Sonny died. Meet Tyson, This was the day we brought him home at 11weeks. He has doubled in size/weight in 2 months! Second picture was a few weeks later he discovered the pool! Third pic is from Redneck Yacht club last weekend Last picture is the one and only litter we had back in 96. The stud on the bottom was my favorite puppy we called "Trouble" Obviously where my desire to own and alpha male came from!

My wife, daughter and I are firmly and forever "Boxer people" and have been for the last 20 or-so years. My first Boxer was "Abby", who lived to be 13. Then came "Oscar", who lived to be 12. Now we have "Martin (Marty)" and "Lucy", 7 and 5 respectively.
Marty:  Lucy:  Our first two Boxers were both American bred, but after wrestling with health problems (allergies, tumors, etc) with both dogs, we decided to go back to the source for the next two. Martin was born in Budapest, Hungary and we flew him in to Cincinnati (via Frankfurt, Germany) at 12-weeks-old. Lucy was born in Prague, Czech Republic and flew in to Detroit (via Paris, France) at 11-weeks-old. So far, both European imports are free from "typical" Boxer health issues. I also have a JRT from Cleveland, but I'll save her for another thread.  |

Here is a good link that details some of the differences between European dogs and their American counterparts (make sure to scroll down for the pictures). Luckily there have been more American breeders importing European Boxers in recent years, so we won't have to look as far for our next one. Boxer people know this already, but Boxers are contagious... I have three different friends and/or relatives that have gotten Boxers after spending time with our dogs. And, once you become a Boxer person, it never ends! |

Thanks for the link, I figured you probably in the dog business somehow after seeing you imported them, and yes you are very correct they are contagious my buddy brought his 8 week boxer Hercules over one nite, and I had Tank the Nxt week

yeah.... we are owned by one..
His name is Ernie.. Always wanted one.. after we had him for 6 months i told myself never again.. now that he is almost 3 years old.. I love him to death.. He likes to eat anything.. and I mean.. anything... He wore the cone of shame at 4 months old.. ate a big chunk of a tennis ball..( on a weekend no less.. you know how much it costs to have E-surgery on a weekend?) Then he ate some sort of a seed while on a walk in the woods.. ( once again.. at the vets on a weekend to keep him pretty much alive).. but he grew on me.. his look and his demeanor makes up for any inconvenience he might have caused us. he is a sweet dog.. not a mean bone in his body towards people or our cats.. But he can be a fierce protector when he wants to be.. After his tennis ball meal..I felt soo bad for him.. he wanted to run and play.. we pretty much had to keep his sedated for a few days..
