Meet the Boxer is the first official publication endorsed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) on one of the worlds most beloved working and companion dogs, the Boxer. Thanks to the experts at the AKC and the American Boxer Club, this volume offers the most accurate and authoritative information available on this breed. Eleven chapters detail the history of the breed, characteristics, and special requirements for owning this versatile German breed, heavily illustrated with beautiful color images of puppies and adults. A chapter devoted to the purchase and selection of the Boxer puppy gives the reader specific guidance on how to locate a qualified breeder and to recognize a healthy, sound puppy. Two separate chapters serve as a primer to training the puppy--house-training and obedience work, favoring positive-training techniques as the best and most successful way to educate dogs. Chapters on home care, safety, feeding, and healthcare present indispensable information for new dog owners. As an official publication of the AKC, Meet the Boxer also explains the many vital programs offered by the countrys leading canine organization to all pet dog owners, including the S.T.A.R. Puppy and the Canine Good Citizen programs, as well as descriptions of various dog sports such as conformation showing, agility, obedience and more. A detailed resources section offers recommendations for websites, books, periodicals, and club affiliate programs, all of great interest to responsible new dog owners.

Say hello to Ruby Tuesday, my birthday present from the hubby. Isn‘t she adorable? I really really wanted a corgi but the prices for puppies were just ridiculous, over $7,000aud so we went for a boxer instead. Didn‘t hurt that she looks like a mini version of Twitch, our bull mastiff dog we lost to heart problems two years ago. We‘re having a bit of an adjustment period so far, but she should settle in soon.🤞 #dogsoflitsy

Hi all! I‘ve been MIA this week. Yesterday was the anniversary of my daddy passing and work & school have been crazy, so I‘ve been quite antisocial. Not much to report from here, here‘s a picture of Scout and Clete waiting for me to get off of work yesterday and a hope that you‘ve all had a good week. Love to you all! 💚

AkashaVampie Im sorry to hear u have had a rough week. love this pic. they look so amused....Not! U need to put conversation bubbles over their heads saying “Take the damn picture all ready!“ haha 4y
NovelGirl82 @AkashaVampie Lol! I know! Clete always looks like the saddest Boxer, even when he‘s running around with a toy! Scout was just annoyed 😂 They know when I should be getting off of work and come into my office and wait on me 😂😂 4y

Thanks for all of your sweet words, thoughts and prayers everyone! My sweet boy is back home and sleeping next to his mama. For right now, it looks like it is another pancreatitis flare & he is going to be one of the lucky puppers that gets to stay on gi food for life. Better that than most of the other alternatives, so I‘ll take it!

Guys, my good boy, my sweet Cletus is back at the vet. He‘s been vomiting his food again. We were thinking that he was either eating too quickly or may be having another pancreatitis flare. My husband just texted me and said that they are getting abdominal x-rays because something “didn‘t feel right”. Please keep him in your thoughts. He‘s only 4 1/2....

Hi everyone! I‘m back with a Clete update! His sister has been taking very good care of him (see picture 2), & his meds and new food along with some rest seem to be helping. He‘s even felt like going out and working on his tan a bit in the last day or so! We‘re hopeful that he‘s on his way back to being our happy, healthy Cletus!

DGRachel YAY! 6y

Hey Litsy fam!! Our sweet little Clete has pancreatitis. Thanks to our wonderful vet, we have meds and some different food to eat for a while. Hopefully this is an acute condition and not the beginning of a chronic one, and he‘ll be on the mend in a couple of days.

AmyG He will be fine. My daughter‘s cat had this a few years ago. Hope he‘s better soon. (edited) 6y

I just wanted to share with you guys that it‘s Clete‘s 3 year adoption b-day!! (He‘s about 4 now) Three years ago I received this picture along with a note telling me that he desperately needed a home, and asking if we could rescue him. We had just lost our sweet Buster, and I wasn‘t sure if my heart was ready, but I couldn‘t just leave him there. That was one of the best decisions that we‘ve ever made! #cletetheboxer #boxersoflitsy

@Emiller I am so, incredibly, sorry for your loss. I lost my big brother in 2010, and it's still very difficult. Sending you all my love & big puppy kisses from Scout & Clete! This was on our vacation last month, hiking in the mountains in NM (on Scout's 4th adoption bday!).

Emiller Thank you for sharing! Your pups are adorable! 🐶❤️ Hiking with them is awesome. My golden loved it and so does my shiba, but she‘s getting too old to go very far. 7y

Before I go to sleep, I had to show you guys: my husband charged the huge RC truck that we bought the nephew tonight & tested it out. He proceeded to chase the Boxers with it & ran Clete (my fearless protector 😂) in to my lap. 🙄 (my children are not allowed to get on the furniture- leather couches & Boxers toenails don't mix) P.S. Please forgive my jammies- I needed stretchy pants! Lol!
