Why Boxer dog's die young

I currently own two boxers.. me and the wife treat them like our kids (Pete and Amy) Pete's 5 Amy's 6... box dogs are in good health but during winter months they both experience hip and joint stiffness.

We feed our dogs Nutro Natrual Choice Lite which has less filler than most dog foods and has glucolsumine (SP) for their hips.

Pet co has treats that we used to give them everynight but they have raisens in them.. and everynight that they ate them they threw up.. poor babies... we searched the internet to find out that it was a big no no to give ur dogs raisens...

B 4 we had these two knuckel heads we had one another male boxer who was a complete stud.. the poster dog for boxer and knew freackin english..lol.. we one day my buddy came by and he loved my dog and vise versa.. so i let the dog outside so he wouldn't get to hyper... about 15 mins later I called for Damon (the dog) and he didnt come.. I knew something was wrong instantly. I found him dead in the yard... completely healthy and just had been to the vet a couple months prior. The vet said he could of had this rare boxer heart condition that that killed him.. the vet went on to say that the prolly dies b4 he even hit the ground.

To this day I still miss my Damon... I'd trade him for my wife anyday,lol
