So, I have seriously been looking into Boxers lately, and my mom happens to like them as well. (One of the few smooth coated breeds she likes)
This wouldn't be anytime soon, but I still want to know what I should expect, and things like major health problems. And about breeders. i know they are pretty darn hyper, what about a off switch? Do they have it? I love the fact that they use their paws, so does my dog, she has got to have boxer blood in there somewhere!
So far, most of the boxers I have met haven't been the most obedient.... I can deal, my dog isn't the most either. Then again, they have been pretty young. Are they independent? Or does commands go in one ear and out the other?
And about this breeder, I at first though she was good. Then I noticed she was breeding a very young dog. I think it was the last female on the females page. And her health contract, is two years enough time to discover most of the dogs problems? Or should it be longer then two years. Other then that, I though she looked pretty good.
Like I said, this would be in a couple years, not very soon. In fact, maybe about 10 when I will be out of collage unless I can find one that will allow me to take a dog with me.
I know there is someone here who knows a lot about them, I think it is VintageBoxers?
