New puppy on the way, need help with names

[70rs]

Nick....Any pics of the new pup? Did you decide on a name? Sometimes it is easier if you get to know the personality first. Then a name might seem right that didn't before. Best of luck with it.

We have three Boxers. Two brothers that turned 8 this past August named Tucker and Gus. Melissa and I got a 3rd as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago. His name is Brutus. In the past I have lost two Boxers, Rowdy and Nikki. We have several friends that own Boxers. They are AWESOME dogs!

How about Champ? That's a good name for a boxer. I had a pitbull named Champ, he died at 6 years old from a siezure. He was a great dog, it's hard when they pass, but even though he died relatively young i know he had a good life, unlike many pitbulls!

WOW!!! 3 of them?!! My ex girlfriend had 2 of them. They were related, but not from the same litter. There are/were nice dogs.

I know of someone who had a beautiful litter of European Boxers in BC. I sent a text to see if she has any left.

We also had a litter of 8 Boxers. We have 2 left and although we had planned to keep both, we have since decided to sell one of them so if anyone knows of someone in or near MN that is looking, you can send them to www.minnesotaboxers.com

Here is a picture of the pup that we have available:


Thanks to Scorpner for alerting me to this thread!

Here is a bit of wacky advice that I received when we brought our pup home.
I tried it and I firmly believe that it really works.....

Dogs are pack animals.
All pack animals have an Alpha Male in their pack.
This dog runs the pack and is in charge.

Most dogs exhibit poor behavior because the owner allows the dog to believe that they are the Alpha male.

So here is the advice..
The Alpha male in packs always eats first.
Thereby leaving his scent on the food..
When he is done eating he then he "allows" the the rest of the pack to eat..

So everytime you put food in the dogs dish spit on the food.
This leaves your scent as the alpha male on the food.
Your dog will then be conditioned to understand that you are the alpha male.

Along with this one should also at all times make sure that the dog knows who is boss. Allowing them to "get away" with undesired behavior will
undermine your alpha make status..

Scott

p.s. Keep an eye on your wife to make sure that she does not start spitting on your food

Named him Brutus and had a tag made Sat. AM, we got home from the pet store and of course the tag was missing so now my wife said its a sign we shouldn't name him Brutus. It was one of my daughters that lost it and now can't find it .

I will post some pics later when I pull them off the camera.

Nice looking boxers. If i didn't have 3 kids I would have more than 1 boxer for sure .

How about a Boxer rescue? Rescued dogs make great pets. Both of my pitbulls were saved and they are great with my 7 and 3 year old niece and nephew when they visit me! Just my .02 cents.
