Jeez, Jake has gotten big. What is he about 50 pounds? lol.
Jeez Joe, this breed ain't supposed to get over 26#. Actually weighed him yesterday and he's 20.5# but thanks for asking and pretty soon you're going to owe me that money. 8)
Not fair if you're feeding him tofu. :-D I'm thinking he's 20.5 Kilos.
Yall's Boxer's looks allot like Buddy,You gotta love the Box!
I think we will always have one in our life.
That is what I have learned Hyper_pak, But this pup I picked out of a litter that was needing a home for free :happy10:and I picked him out of three boys, And took him strait to the vet for all his shot's and he has been a great friend He was the shy one and I liked his markings on each foot and black face just like my last Boxer Her name was Storm, I have caught myself calling Buddy Buck and I need to quit doing that or just start using it.No expert, but I know they get a lot of cancers. My Boxer, Cookie died around 10 years old when I was 15. You have to get a GOOD BREEDER! When they are inbred too much it is a problem. Food and excercise are important, but good stock is the most important. Do your homework on getting the dog from good parents. But I do agree, BEST DOGS EVER!
Well here is a test on a dog food that was recommended to use and thought I would bite the bullet and start him on it, He love's it and I only need to feed him 3 cups a day.
1 1/2 in the morning and 1 1/2 at evening feeding.
He slobbered the bowl clean and wanted more and his stool is god and solid
and less of it to :happy10: He has been on it 3 day's know.
I wanted to make this change for now until I get a supply of food to make him a home made and treat him to it two times a week along with this food maybe 8) It's grain -Free :cheers:
So far it seems to be worth the cost Joe, He is doing his duty on a regular bases two times a day and a perfect looking stool :happy10:This is good stuff Mike! No grains but all the good stuff like venison and buffalo. Just what a wolf would eat. :read2:
No worries scuba :happy10: and thank you, Your old friend has the same hair color I do :-D Gray :happy10: How old was Zoe, and thank you for the information :read2:Mike great thread. We lost our boxer, Zoe, to Lymphoma on December 5, 2009. Unfortunately, 1 in 4 boxers get Lymphoma. There is less then a 5% chance the chemo will cure. Our regular Vet said she would not put her dog through Chemo. When we took Zoe to the Oncologist after the consultation we felt we were not going to do it either. All it did was prolong the inevitable. We chose a course of Steriods and up to her last 2 days she only had 1 or 2 other bad days. I think we did the right thing.
Sorry to be a downer but just stating the facts.
I look back and even though we miss her we had a lot of fun with her. She still makes me laugh looking at some of the pictures of the stuff she did! She was the biggest 70lbs lap dog ever.
I know we will get another one but not yet. Enjoy him and dont' worry about how long Boxers "typically" live.
That is what I am going to do scrappydoo, Start making my own dog food when I get all my ducks in a row :happy10:Keep an eye on the crude fat levels.
Crude fat or any fat is bad for dogs and will lead to pancreatitis.
Lean meat mixed with rice and vegetables is the best diet for your dog, try and stay away from dog food.
You'll be surprised at how cheap it is to feed your dog decent food.
