Thinking of adding this guy to our family

Posted : 7/27/2010 6:48:13 AM

Maya is coming up on, if not already 10 years old, which is getting up there for a boxer. She's been slowing down, but is still in good health. I've been thinking of getting another younger dog to put more years in her life. My fiance and I ran into this precious 4 month old puppy at a petsmart adoption event on Friday, and I'm going today to bring him home for a 10 day trail. What do you think he is? I think Beagle/Boxer. His rear end is a light fawn color with light brindling and he has a long skinny tail with a white tip. He's all legs right now.

At 10 years old, I'm pretty sure a young boxer pup is not her idea of how she'd like to spend her golden years.

I don't see any beagle...

just from this picture - I'd guess boxer/pit.

That totally depends on the dog. Chyna is 12, & she adores Cher. She has loved adding an annoying, pushy puppy to our pack. She plays, wrestles, & corrects Cher, which is much, MUCH more than what she did before Cher's arrival.

Maya is really enjoying having the pup around. She keeps bothering him to play with her, then they snuggle. The vet says he looks like a boxer/Shepherd mix. Let me see if I can get some more pictures.

I hope it works out! I don't see any shepherd whatsoever though. People often make that assumption any time there is black on the face. That can come from a dozen or so breeds, and a pure shepherd does not always have a black muzzle.

Here are some more pictures. The vet doesn't think he's got any pit in him, definitely boxer though. He's being an amazingly good puppy. I haven't seen my dog be this active in the morning for a couple of years now.

They played bitey face all morning...

He is so cute! I hope it works out for him to be part of your family! What are you calling him?
