Boxer Puppies

I think you should tell your brother to wait until the female is atleast 2 years of age --- so maybe next fall instead of next spring. I believe that 28 months is the ideal, though I'm not sure. My breeder never breeds a dog unless they are over 28 months of age. Boxers often need C-sections -- if the female is bred too young, her pelvic bones won't be completely developed. Tell your brother he's looking at a $500-1000 C-section.

Giselle is right, only flashy boxers bred together will create whites. All flashies carry the white gene and will have 25% white pups in a litter together. If the dogs are both solid fawns, they will only produce fawns.

It's highly doubtful the puppies will be show quality. You might get one show quality puppy in the entire litter. There are some breeds where almost every dog from that breed is show quality -- boxers are most definatly NOT one of them. It's extremely hard to get a show quality boxer, and they are a very common breed.

I never said that show quality x show quality = show quality puppies, just that it's safe to guess. Show quality parents have a better chance of producing show auality offspring than BYB parents, but nothing is 100% by any means.

I know lol, I was referring to the "show quality puppies for sale." It just made it sound as if all of the puppies are going to be show quality.

Aah.

Yes, they are both fawn

[vinjashira]

there shouldn't be any white puppies then

[wolfsoul]

Are they solid fawn? Or do they have any white markings?

$800 for a puppy. Imagine how many you could adopt from a shelter with that much money.

Donna, I have no intention of ever "paying" for a puppy. Especially, someone just trying to make money. And from what I understand, aren't "real" breeders. We are definately going to get a shelter pup....when the time comes.

But, I can look can't I? (lip sticking out too)
