The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

I don't know if I shared here or not, but we lost our old boxer last year in July and we got Trixie in September. She's now 7 months and is a big goofy lap pup. Only complaint is she's so fast, and is suddenly gone by, than suddenly back. I forgot how much the young ones run and run. When she's not running she is napping on the couch.

Cynthia I think an older more mature boxer, if there such a thing , would be a great companion. I've always had one boxer since the late 80's. Otherwise a Boston terrier is a good smaller dog with a similar personality. I should stop. I am a dog enabler.

You are GUILTY as charged! And you even confessed. Now, what is your punishment? Watch out, I'll go find pictures of our Dobes and you'll be in trouble then!

I have 6 dogs and am still wanting another. I think everyone should be surrounded by dogs. Endless unconditional love. Sure it comes with hair, slobber, and farts, but so does my husband.

I always wanted a Doberman, but I chose a boxer because of the smaller size. Still love Dobermans. Such elegant looking dogs with a goofy personality.

Dobes and boxers are awesome!

Here's your penalty, Lisa. The white ones are my older son's dogs, Ghost (R) and Sophie.

My blue Doberman, Gretchen. My dad bought her at 4 years old and bred a couple of litters from her. I grew up in that house. That's the kitchen door to the carport. I almost forget that stuff since I'm ancient as Methuselah.

I cannot find the pics of our Dobermans anywhere except this one. They're in the maze of millions of pics in hundreds of folders. So, you get off easy, Lisa. If I ever locate them, I'll post them.

We had a Siberian husky but he didn't know he was a husky. He would just lay there on the grass while a rooster was chasing a hen around said dog. Never tried to go after the chickens and never tried to wonder off except for the time he chased a fox that was trying to get chicken dinner to go. He was the last big dog we had. I can't handle the big ones anymore. But when hubby retires in a couple of years he'll probably get another one. We have a papillon and a Pomeranian now.
