He's one of my favourite Boxers Can't wait to see photos of your pup Carole,thought of any names yet?
Why do boxers have their tail docked and is it possible to get one which is still intact? and ive heard they have their ears trimmed as well..why? Also How big do females get?
it is possible to get a boxer with a tail you just have to find a breeder willing to leave it on. I think they were originally docked because of the job they were trained to do in the past. In the UK it is illegal to crop ears so you wont find any cropped boxers here unless imported from a country where it is still legal. Female boxers grow to about 21 - 23 inches in height and around 55 to 60lbs approx.
Shadowboxers article goes into a lot of detail and explains more than I can about boxers There is a link to it below. boxers
Thank you afc Are you considering getting a Boxer? If you purchase from a good breeder the temperament should be excellent but they grow to be large, strong, dogs and they do need training (as does any breed).
