Thanks!!

Answer
First, this is not a good breed to have in your cold climate. Boxers are extremely sensitive to cold and heat both.

I would not recommend anyone own a Boxer in Canada- period.

Secondly, a puppy is not the correct choice for a "3 year old" child.

Puppies play rough and bite and nibble, etc. and a 3 year old child is too much of a baby to be around a puppy.

Just because he likes them at the dog park, does not mean he is ready to own one.

A puppy of any breed is a huge responsibility and there is no certain full-proof method of knowing the personality and temperament of a puppy.... you can pick the easiest-going, laid-back one of the litter, but if you do not know how to train and socialize the puppy as it grows, you will end up with a misbehaved, temperamental, messed up grown dog with problems for a lifetime.

I cannot teach you how to "house break" in this simple forum; I suggest you research and read expert articles online by breeders and vets and dog trainers before attempting to buy a puppy.

You are not ready for a puppy, let alone, a Boxer in your area.

Re-think your idea of any puppy for a "3 year old" baby.
