oh and PS, if you DO decide to ever get another boxer (they really are great dogs when bred properly....clowns of the dog world!).....do know that they are the #1 dog breed prone to Cancer, along with Flat-coated Retrievers. And Heart disease (mainly Aortic stenosis/sub-aortic stenosis and cardiomyopathy)are also very common in the boxer breed.

A good breeder will know it is nearly impossible to breed those conditions completely out of the boxer line....but will still strive for perfection and should be screening their dogs....along with owning a halter monitor for checking their breeding dogs for heart issues, and have a good relationship with a canine cardiologist. I love Boxer's but we now have 3 APBT so that is all we can handle at the moment. But you are right they are awesome dogs, Brodee always had a way to make me laugh, he was so silly We really miss him but we know he is in a much better place.
