Question
I recently adopted a full boxer from the shelter only to find out weeks later she was pregnant.  The puppies were born yesterday. I just wondered if you could tell this earlier if they are full boxers..I have pictures

Answer
It's a little soon to guess if the pups are full Boxer, and in fact you may never know for sure.  Some Boxer mixes end up looking very similar to some less-carefully-bred Boxers.  There are coloring or marking patterns will indicate another breed, of course.  Feel free to send pictures (puppy pictures are always fun to look at!), either now or as the pups get older - my direct e-mail is <boxers at newcastleboxers dot com>.  

Good luck with the puppies!
