The dog thread

All you boxer owners. How do they like the water? I always loved the breed, but went with my lab b/c we are always on the water....problem is she loves the water too much. She likes to swim off and send me on wild goose chases.....maybe the boxer would not like the water so much and stay on the dock?
 
She loves the water, but you won't often jump off the dock, boat, or beach without throwing a ball etc...
 
This would be REBAR, our old BOXer:(. Damn, I miss that dog. Had to put down about 5 years ago. But, his name goes on in boating forums still today.:)

I always wondered where you got your screen name from.

Great looking Boxer. I am sure you miss him dearly.

Mine doesn't like the water and prefers to stay on the boat or just bark at the kids in the water.
 
Dozer sounds worse than my 110lb BoBo the pit bull. The only dog he would tolerate was a female in heat. I could not even take him to a leash park because he would just go screaming crazy at the dogs.

The last months of his life he came to like my next door neighbor's mini daschund. When Max first saw BoBo he ran like a scared rabbit, but quickly warmed to him when he saw BoBo was ignoring him. It brought me to tears the day I saw BoBo sniff Max's nose and lick him. I had never seen BoBo do that before. A month later he was gone. :( :(

Yeah, Dozer is a country boy - and ideal for the country. I beam with pride when he plays with Lamb Chop. He only goes after other animals if they are in "his" territory. He shakes and cowers when not on his turf. I trimmed him down to about 107 lbs.

So sorry about BoBo! :(

Never took my Boxer (put down about 2 years ago :( ) on a boat. But, he loved to go down to the river close to home and would "Bob"for the rocks I would throw in. He would have his head completely under, bubbles coming up, and would pop up with a nice one. He would do this all day if he had the chance. He was a very loveable clown. I would never consider putting him on a boat without a life vest. I'm sure he would have jumped in - and sunk!

There are many wonderful dogs out there and a Boxer is one of those breeds you can't go wrong with.

That is really funny. We had an all white boxer named Spike. When my older son was about 1 or 2 he was taking a swim lesson in our pool with some other kids. Spike jumped in and sunk right to the bottom. He was just standing there on the bottom looking up and blowing bubbles. One of the other dads panicked and jumped in and pulled him up. I would have jumped in but I was laughing too hard.

Always loved Ridgebacks. You can tell in her face she is a sweetie. And spoiled! I caved in myself and recently started letting the pups on the couch again - with a cover over it - they shed!!! :)

Look out, they'll steal all the pillows! My pup likes to make forts! :03:

lets see, she has chewed the seams off the couches, dug up the carpet in 2 spots in living room, & chewed up the legs on dining chairs- not to mention decapitated & delimbed many a doll. Luckily we planned on replacing the carpet & furniture because it was showing age after 2 kids. wife is bout ready to kill her, but replacing furniture is easier on me than having the 4 yr & 12 yr old girls & wife all argueing w/ ea other or me. :biggrinjester:

I've realized that by morning I'm actually fighting for bed space with my two lugs...
 
This is our Akita Zeus at 8 weeks old the night we got him last January and again 2 weeks later. He's gotten a "little" bigger since then. :eek:

Pic from last Friday.

I solved that problem a couple dogs ago. I get my dogs two at a time. They take their energy out on each other instead of my stuff ... and its no harder training two at the same time than it is training one :ack2::D

First pair ....
Second pair .....
