Question
Peanut
My friend and I purchased a boxer, Allie that is 4 years old. We want to breed her with Peanut, also 4 years old. We want to get a male with nice features and qualities for tracking. Basically, a working dog. Can you tell us which features on both dogs are faults of the breed and which are strengths based on these pictures? What will the majority of the puppies look like? We will sell the others and if not sold, we would like to know if you can direct us to a society for the blind or handicapped that we could give them to and they could train the puppies to work? We definitely do not want them euthanized or placed with irresponsible owners.
AnswerAndrea,
I am confused as to why you would breed Allie and Peanut, just to give away puppies that possibly won't sell.
Why even breed? If you are not confident that all the pups will sell to good, responsible homes (and I only sell to Boxer owners, or previous Boxer owners because not everyone is suited to own a Boxer- and I want my pups in the best suited homes), then why even have puppies? Sometimes you can sell some and others will not sell for another few weeks or so. You must be ready to care for them and lower your prices, or give to good homes.
A society for blind and handicapped is not the solution for a Boxer. Even though Boxers are wonderful, loving, gentle, and sociable, they need a consistent, secure, routine family in order to be well-behaved and happy. Going from place to place in a position of a handicap dog, is not a secure, routine, family. The Boxer will like socializing, but want and need stability.
As far as Allie, her head is not squared as Peanut- and not considered standard. Her body, legs, and stance is good. Her markings are fine.
Peanut is well-built, muscular and has a great head and jaw. Very squared as it should be.
His features are probably dominate and will produce nice pups.
(I would call and see if societies even accept the Boxer as a breed. Boxers are playful and clowns, puppy-like up into their older years, and easily distracted- not well-suited as a "handicap" dog or a "blind" dog. It would be difficult for a blind person to trust and rely on a playful and comical Boxer. Think about that. Boxers are okay with visiting nursing homes, hospitals and the like but go back "home" when the day is done).
