Why Boxer dog's die young

Hey Mike,
We're Boxer folks too. The one I have now is number six, since I was born. They all have had the same name. His is "Sir Bullit of Smith Wesson". We called all of them Bullit. He is 12 years old now. His hips are tired, and he has never gained alot of weight, but man what a great pal! I would'nt have any other breed, their the best. Ony the Lord knows when his time is up, but I will say the day after... number 7 will be a sleep in my lap. Can't figure out how to post pics on this quick reply, but I'd like to show him to you. Thanks for this thread.
