So My bf just took our Boxer up to the grocery store, and of course left her in the car while he grabbed just a few things. when he came back out, there was another car parked next to him with a man and his dog (no idea what it was tho) and the guy rolls down his window and asks my bf "you wanna fight her..?" I have SO many responses going through my head right now, I dont even know what to do with myself! what if he had broken in an just taken her?! I dont know if thats something the dude would've considered or whatever, but I started crying when I heard this! Im just thinkin about whatever dog he had with him right now.... wonder what shes going through tonight... sometimes I just Hate people and the FUCKED UP things they do. it amazes me how one sentence from one fucking piece of shit jackass gets me so riled up. ok I should stop now before I ruin my whole night. *sigh* time for a cigarette...

yea im litterally shaking right now im so pissed off thinking about it. my pit Maddie was ripped to pieces when I found her at four months old. Im pretty sure she was used as a bait dog an it took a long time to get her all healed up an in good shape from what was done to her. this shit just hits really close to home.

The Boxer was developed in Germany in the 19th century. The Boxer's ancestors were two German mastiff type dogs, the Bullenbeiszer and the Barenbeiszer. They were later crossed with the powerful ancestors of the Mastiff and Bulldog. Early Boxers were used for dog fighting, bull baiting, cart pulling, cattle dogs, to round up livestock and to catch and pin wild boar and bison until hunters could arrive. They later became popular theater and circus dogs. The first Boxer studbook was started in 1904. Up until then the dogs varied widely in looks and size. The Boxer is known for the way it uses its front legs to bat at its opponent, appearing to be boxing with the front paws, most likely giving the dog its name. Some of the Boxer's talents are watchdog, guarding, police work, military work, search & rescue, competitive obedience, schutzhund and performing tricks. Breeders are breeding two types of Boxers, the German Boxer and the American Boxer. The German Boxers have bigger heads and are generally more muscular than American Boxers.

i have did alot of research on dogs im a nerd!!! thats all i do is reaserch them!!!

[mensforyouthis]

I researched a lot about boxers before we adopted this one a few years ago, but I guess I was a little surprised at that as well when I first read that. but now I just think of them as the long lost cousin of the pits lol. they come from completely different breeding an all of course, but in my mind the two are really quite similar.

Wow!! I can only imagine. I know we take our dogs everywhere with us and it sucks you do have to worry about these things.I know what you are going through because of the garbage man taking the time to knock on my door and try asking a lot of questions about our red nose pit that we have, just by seeing her through the door. Ever since then I am outside with my dogs all the time( even though we have a privacy fence up), There are crazy people out there and they are my babies and I would kill if anyone took them from me!!

[cabonuserollyo]

the bull terrier was also bred for fighting!

[irrawnWab]

i had no idea (based off the boxers i see around here, no offense to those that have boxers but they seem ditzy) that they were bred originally for that. i am glad i learned something new today
