| Is the "Boxer" right for your Family? |
| Boxers are truly wonderful companions! They adore children & are extremely tolerant. They do however require training when young to know their place with-in the family. We require that new families enroll the puppy in Puppy Socialization/Obedience classes. This is Time well spent! These classes not only teach the puppy what is expected of him/her, but also helps form the bond with their new family & helps create a non-stressful environment. We do not want the new family stressed, or the puppy, as this can lead to health & behavioral problems. We require that if for any reason, the puppy does not fit into your families lifestyle, you contact us. We will assist you in finding a new loving family. Boxers are extremely social & require ample time with their family. They need to know they are truly a member of the family and not just a "dog". They demand attention and thrive being in the "middle" of everything. They are highly energetic and playful. Boxers are house dogs only as they cannot tolerate extreme heat or cold. Most boxers love small dogs, but are sometimes standoffish with larger dogs. We micro-chip all our babies and are now indicated as the alternate contact. We never want to see one of our babies end up in a shelter or rescue. There are already too many unwanted boxers in rescue. Fortunately, there are many caring, loving volunteers working towards finding new loving permanent homes for these unwanted boxers. Jamie Ferguson, a volunteer for the Mid-Michigan Boxer Rescue, is one of these wonderful people! Her daughter Keely is pictured above with her companion Zues! This picture, we feel, truly displays what a boxer is all about! Please check out the Mid-Michigan Boxer Rescue at: www.midmichiganboxerrescue.org for a possible new companion or to make donations for all boxers in rescue!. We also would like to express our sincere Thank-You!, to all the families that have opened up their homes and hearts to one of our boxer babies!
