Question
we have a 2 1/2 old female boxer and we getting a male boxer who is aroud 1 years could we mate them together as they are living in the same house, will this cause problems at a later date. will the male hurt or eat the puppies.

Answer
Are either dog aggressive?
Will both the male and female be tested for brucellois?
Will you allow the male free access to the puppies?

If you answer no, yes, no then there shouldn't be any issues.  Remember a female will become more aggressive after she's had a litter of pups.
