I've had Boxer-buddies MOST of my life ...and I'm an OLD MAN.
We got my FIRST Boxer when I was in the 1st Grade. He died the Summer AFTER I graduated from High School.
He was the smartest dog I've ever known. Some Hollywood People filming a Western Movie here in New Mexico in the late '50s stopped filming their movie and spent the rest of the day filming my Boxer, Rusty. In the 70s, I swear I saw Rusty in a TV Commercial. I knew THAT dog
better than I know the palm of my own hand.
One day when the Supermarket first installed the "automatic opening doors"...Rusty went in (by himself) and came home with 2 pounds of hamburger wrapped up with a
CHARGE-TICKET attached to it !!!
Next day, My Father told the butchers that Rusty's Credit was "No Good" and they shouldn't let him charge any more hamburger.
The butchers replied that he had a job....working for Dad.
Everyone had a GOOD LAUGH !!!
But...shortly after that (because some idiot complained, I guess)...the Supermarket had a sign that said "No Dogs in the Store".
Funny how some people are....
Here are a few pictures of "Boone" and his Son, "Crockett":
Best Dogs...BEST Companions...Funny Souls and SMART !!! GREAT with Children...because they are SMART "kids" !!!
