Playmate for 1 yr old female

Question
I would like a male playmate for our 1yr old female who weighs 45-50lbs. Any tips on how to find a male around the same size. The smaller the male, the less the drool, right? Watched a male for 3hrs. and had a house full of saliva. It was even on the ceiling. It's the only thing preventing me from getting a male playmate. Any advice?

Answer
Hi Derek,

Actually slobber is not related to size. :)  A well-bred Boxer will not be excessively drooly, unless there is food present.  45-50 lbs. would be exceptionally small for a male and you're not too likely to find a well-bred one of that size, to be honest.

A good place to start searching for a responsible breeder is your local Boxer Club - there's a listing here:

There's more information on finding a breeder, and questions to ask to help you decide if you're dealing with someone responsible, here:

Good luck!!
