Boxer Pups


Porn Shop Clerk

Recommended Posts

I'd rescue one, but its 325$ just to do that. Might as well start out with an emotionally stable pup instead of trying to rehabilitate one for that price.

EDIT: But even then, breeders can easily lie about who fathered the pups. A pedigree is only useful for determining how inbred the animal is. AKC and CKC can both be easily faked. Eh. I'm just looking for a good family pet that's not a mutt and I've never met a boxer I didn't like.

That's why I want to find a responsible breeder.

That's the benefit to some rescue dogs. You can find them crate trained, etc. But really I'd rather go pay 200$-250$ for a pup than take a chance on ending up with a basket case.

I would really rather prefer to rescue one, but a 2 year old dog with emotional issues for 325$ is a bit steep. Especially for a potentially dangerous dog like a boxer. Plus the hoops you have to jump through to rescue, I just don't feel like being scrutinized like that. Its kind of creepy.

EDIT: I understand why its so stringent, they just come across as flakey and hypocritical when they talk about "millions of dogs killed in the US every second" diatribes, then want to make you lift your sack and spread your buttcheeks and pay 325$ to take in an abused/neglected/abandoned animal.

But, the last thing you want is for that animal to be abandoned/abused/neglected again.

True, but if you want a pure bread dog without paying full registered price, that may be the way to go, unless you know someone.

Heh, that's what I'm asking, if someone knows someone. :D

I really want a boxer and I'd rather get one on some kind of personal recommendation. I'm just putting out feelers and weighing my options. Who knows, someone on the Huddle may have a litter, or knows someone that has a litter....

Big message board. :D

For the right dog, I'd be willing to go up to 8 or 9 months old.

EDIT: I'm gonna go ahead and pass on any white boxers. :P

My rescues were only about $100 each and they were about 3 months when we got them. They are both great and don't have any emotional damage, one is just super hyper (Chow/Shephard Mix) and the other is super lazy (Boxer/Rodesian Ridgeback Mix) so the whole getting them in pairs so they play was BS. When I looked around pure breads were anywhere from $300-$1000 and often times it's fake anyway. The first one I got was the last of his litter and locked up all day because he didn't have his shots so he couldn't play with the other puppies. The second one was wandering the streets of Mexico starving, sick, and nearly dead when the adoption agency took it to California. After I adopted the second one they even paid all the vet bills to get him healthy. This is going to sound terribly gay but it makes me feel really good inside when I look at them knowing that I saved their lives and I think they are happier, more loving dogs because they know it too.

I guess the moral would be not to rule out rescues because if you look hard enough you can find a puppy you'll like.

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
