Introducing Our "Sweet" Little Puppies

Maddie continues to be a great mom to these puppies. Unfortunately, Milky Way, the white female, has a medical problem and is not expected to live, and that breaks our hearts.  For that reason, you will not see her picture here.  But the others are already thriving.  Check back for weekly photos of their growth!

Rolo: Fawn Male with a white chest and belly, and a tiny speck of white on his neck.

Hershey: Fawn Female with a white chest and belly. Looks almost identical to Rolo.

M&M: Fawn Female with a small patch of white on her neck, white chest and belly, and paws, and 

a touch of white on her nose .

Snickers: Fawn Male with a white chest, belly, and neck, nose, and paws.

Happy New Year and 4--No, Make That 5 (Surprise!) Happy New Puppies

Maddie had an easy and quick delivery of her 5 puppies beginning at 5 a.m. today.  Final score: 3 girls, 2 boys.  There was a little guy hiding in that x-ray that was not seen! She is a great mom!  Check back for more pictures later today.

Making a Nest for the Puppies

Maddie is preparing her home for the coming puppies. We anticipate their delivery within the next day.

Boxer Rules

A Pregnant Maddie

Maddie is feeling pretty plump.  Lying in the same box she was born in 2 years ago, she's still calm and as comfortable as she can be.

Better in Pairs

In case you were wondering, we always say that boxers do best in pairs.  They have a constant companion to play and snuggle with (well, it's more like on top of each other) as seen below. Bruiser, on bottom (from our last litter, formerly known as Vixen) and his best friend Dusty share the family couch for a snooze.  Boxers have such great temperaments and personalities!  Thanks to Bruiser and Dusty's loving owner, Todd, for the photo. We love to keep in touch with our boxer families to see how they are doing!

2 More Weeks!

We are looking forward to puppies arriving in 2 weeks!  Next week (the 26th), Maddie will be having an x-ray to see how many little ones we can expect on (or about) January 2.  We'll keep you posted!

Litter Update

Looks like Maddie is progressing nicely in her pregnancy with a bigger appetite and a fuller belly.  We hear that there are not many boxer puppies available or arriving soon, and have had several inquiries about the upcoming litter.  Contact us soon to be on our waiting list.  4 weeks to go!

A New Year, a New Litter!

Good News! Maddie was bred to Henry from Telstar Boxers (click here to visit Telstar's website) October 31. We are looking forward to having a new litter of puppies on (or about) January 2, 2013.  Maddie is from Lady's second litter and is one of the sweetest dogs. We called her Prancer (you can see more puppy pictures of her if you scroll down the blog).  If you are interested in a puppy from Maddie, please contact us to be placed on the interest list.  As always, we will keep the blog updated so you can follow the litter.

Maddie as a puppy

Always Part of the Family

You can always count on the Boxer to be right in the middle of your life. That includes in between your legs in the kitchen, at your dinner table (just in case you forgot to set a place for him), and just relaxing on a summer afternoon. Here, Eve makes a great head and foot rest for our daughter. Our kids can hardly wait for puppies again--hopefully coming in a few months!

Saying Goodbye to Vixen

Vixen, now called Bruiser, left today to go to a very happy and loving home. We are so thrilled he will be so loved!

I'm Leavin' On a Jet Plane

Bodie got a spa treatment today before leaving on a plane to his new family in Minnesota. He barely fit in the sink! We will miss him (the kids were crying after they said their goodbyes at the airport), but we know that our dear friends will love him to death. As breeders, one of the greatest rewards for us is being able to bring such joy to families.

Last Play-day With Bodie

Bodie heads to his new home tomorrow, and it was a perfect day for some last playtime outside with his brother and sisters.

Jail Time

Dasher


Crate training is essential for puppies because it provides them a safe place to call "home" when they can't be watched, and prevents damage (well, more like possible complete destruction) of your home! We put a small crate in the box to allow them to get used to being in one. As you can see, Vixen is sleeping very comfortably.

Everyone is thirsty after a few laps around the backyard.

What's All the Ruckus?

The puppies have a tremendous amount of energy in the morning, and they get particularly loud and boisterous with each other after breakfast.

Walkin' on Sunshine...

It was a beautiful 75 degrees in America's Finest City (San Diego), which meant a perfect day to get the puppies outside for the first time. Here's how they reacted to getting some grass between their toes.

Loving the Outdoors

Tearing It Up

As you plan for your puppy to come home, remember that anything and everything is a toy to them! If they can get into it, they will, and yes, the old excuse of "the dog ate my homework" is really true! So put up small pieces of toys, TV remotes, game cartridges, small articles of clothing (they love socks), and get some engaging toys like tennis balls, Kong chew toys, and small dog ropes (I found them at Target for $1).
