Oh my gosh is he cuuutteee!! I love boxers, they are so goofy!

About his aggression, that is common in dogs that have been attacked by other dogs. Especially if he was recently attacked (I remember seeing the thread), it makes more sense. He should get passed it once he realizes he has doggy friends. Good luck to your brother!

If he is dog aggressive now, don't expect neutering to help it. Dog aggression cannot be trained out.. it can only be managed.

We had a boxer at the shelter got in a dog fight with another dog before he came to us and he was really dog aggressive he got a home with no other pets.

Just don't leave him unsupervised with your other dogs since he is dog aggressive. No dog parks either since you know he is dog aggressive just play dates with dogs he already knows.

LabLover (Sorry, your name slipped my mind all the sudden!), I think it will be just a matter of time too! Poor guy, I don't blame him!

Luvofallhorses, he's not necessarily dog aggressive, he's just snapped at a couple in the past week. He plays with all the dogs around the apartments all day, and he LOVES other dogs... just never had the snapping thing happen before! Hopefully it isn't the beginning of real dog aggression, cause he's always been great with other dogs! I know, Molli IS dog aggressive with larger dogs, except with Sam, and I just have to avoid situations with her.... I don't think there is any curing it.

I would just watch him closely with other dogs then.

Yeah definitely. I get sooo mad when people know that their dog is dog aggressive and still allow them at dog parks! And it's so frequent, I don't even go any more. I won't be one of those owners for sure.
