Sorry to hear that you've been having a difficult time but great news about the puppy 🥰 We've currently got our fourth boxer and they are fabulous dogs. So affectionate and funny, bright too. They can be a lot of work but pay back all the effort in spades. Please keep us updated.

That's an amazing age. Sadly we lost number 2 and 3 far too young (although it's upsetting whenever they go) but the joy of getting another far outweighs the pain. This one is my husband's constant companion (he's worked from home since his stroke) and is a therapy dog in all but name 🥰

We got ours at 8 months but only one previous owner - four! 🫣Our other three were puppies - that will keep you busy! 😉

I love boxers - grew up with one and had one when our 4 kids were growing up. Hope Free is as wonderful as our Bess

Oh gorgeous. Well a boxer puppy will certainly take up your time and consume your mind as well as releasing all those good hormones. Good decision. So happy for you.xx

Sorry to hear you've been going through a bad patch but how great you saw the ad at such a time… fate surely intercepted there. I hope Free brings much joy & companionship to you. Will you post a pic when you get him please? Our first dog as a married couple was a boxer/lab cross, Cassie. She was a character. We have many happy memories of her & was definitely my h's dog as he spent more time with her being able to take her to work with him. We're looking into rehoming a rescue just now, just need to find the right match for our other 2.
