Welcome to Pet Talk!

no she is a very health and lively little puppy, i got her as a presant from my mumsdogs litter. all the litter and both parents are very healthy.

If she doesn't have any stitches from being fixed, then there should be no problem in bathing her. Just use some puppy shampoo. I do suggest you get her fixed though.

Boxers are great dogs ... just the way they "bounce" through life is enough to brighten any day!

She should be right for a bath so long as she doesn't have the stiches as mentioned above.

Welcome to Pet Talk!!!!
I think you can bathe her now, just use puppy shampoo, and be careful not to get any in her precious little eyes.

I would love to see pictures!!!

You can bathe her now just use a gentle puppy shampoo. I too sugest you get her fixed but I believe in waiting until she is 6 months so her body can grow & develope more properly.

As far as stink goes it may also be coming from her ears. dogs w/ floppy ears are more prone to ear problems. You should get her to the vet for an exam & she is probably about due for another set of shots. The vet should look into the ears as part of the exam & they will be able to tell you if they need cleaning or medicine. Also I reccomend you enroll into a good reputable puppy class.

Hey n' Welcome to PET TALK~!!! Glad to see ya here....n' congrats on your new addition~!!

Can't wait to see some pictures~!

You can give her a bath anytime...like said above. I gave Colby(my puppy) a bath right when we got him b/c he stunk too.

Like everyone said now is a good time for a bath.

Also the earlier you start the baths the easier it going to be as she gets older. Get her use to it. I've had Boxes all my life, from birth on, and most Boxers don't like baths. I have 3 right now and all 3 run when they hear the water running.

You got a good breed though, I love the Boxer breed. Be ready though, Boxes never seem to really grow out of their puppy ways. Always ready to play, even when your not. Hope you have a nice size yard for her to run off some engery in.


Good luck and enjoy her.
