Boxer Puppies

1 year old is much to young to breed a female dog!!!
you should've waited till she was at least 3 years old older..
ugh...
Now she is more likely to have complications during birth..
wow... :(

this is horrible..

I agree. :(

I don't think she is going to be bred for another year...

that's why I thought you were advertising the pups that are not even conceived yet :D

I think $800 is quite reasonable. In Canada puppies are anywhere from $200 to $1300. Buddy was about $1100.:D

I agree, too! :(

the dog wasn't going to be bred until I got the impresson, next spring. That is still to young.

Look, this forum is very avidly into rescue and controlling overpopulation of dogs in the pet trade. It is highly doubtful that you would find people here interested in buying puppies. The folks that frequent this forum for the most part either rescue or research breeders extensively before deciding to get a dog form them.

Perhaps you would get a better response if you said something like...

My friend Heather has some really precious Mini Aussies available. To learn something about her and see her little cuties check her website here: http://www.heatherlyaussies.com/placement.html (my friend Heather doesn't actually have any dogs available right now, but her dogs are worth looking at anyways, they're wonderful!)

You didn't provide any info about the breeder or the pups that will be available or (importantly, 'cause we love them! :) ) any pics of the parents.

Vinjashira: If you are familiar with genetics, you know that it is very possible to predict the colors of the puppies, although I don't like the possibility of white Boxers...isn't that a fault? I know with Mini Aussies, some breeders have had problems with the white genes causing MASSIVE health problems. It is also pretty safe to predict (assuming the genetic quality of both parents is known) the quality of pups that will be produced, although there are absolutely NO guarantees.

ETA: As a side note about the price...One rarely makes money breeding....if the pups are expensive (from a quality breeder) it is generally because of health screening. I would rather buy an expensive puppy whose parents have both had their eyes and hips screened than a cheap one whose parents weren't screened.

:mad: :mad: :rolleyes: :(

It's not me that's breeding them, my brother is, and I tried to tell him that the mother was too young, but he wouldn't listen, it's not my fault.

Didn't you say you show the father, do you own him too? Cause if you own him, you don't have to breed to this female if you know she's too young.

EDIT: And if you know she's too young, you shouldn't be advertising for him.

The father is not my dog.

well Cathy, I have always been interested in genetics and I read that two fawns bred together will always produce 100% fawn puppies (http://www.boxerrescue-la2ca.com/abo...hite_boxer.htm)

I disagree what you say about 2 show quality dogs breed together will produce show quality puppies. There could be some show quality puppies which you quire rightly said are not guaranteed to grow up to be show quality dogs, however some others from the same litter will not be categorised as show quality.

To some degree, you're correct Vinjashira. The only thing is, flashy dog X flashy b*tch will oftentimes produce white dogs. Plain dog X plain b*tch will produce 100% colored dogs. If the dog and b*tch in question are flashy, then there is a fairly high incidence of white Boxer puppies. I don't remember much about Boxer breedings, but I'm pretty sure flashy X flashy breedings are highly guarded against.

At any rate, I don't agree with the ethics of this breeding and wanted to say: Just because YOU think a dog is show quality does not make it so. You say you're showing it, but where are the titles? Until you title (show and/or work) and health test, Don't Breed! Simple as that :)

P.S. I do agree, however, that show qual X show qual breedings don't necessarily bring about show qual puppies. There is a higher rate of show prospect puppies when born to proven parents, but there's an even higher chance of pet qual pups.

Crab, I just re-read your first post. So they're fawn, right?
