Wow, your stories are making me appreciate my group! We are breed specific (Boxers) and foster based, and the foster family always has the final say over placement. Our Director acts as a go between for the different committees and it really is run as a democracy. The only time the Director...

I had a wonderful ACD, big blue guy, and when I took him out, people would ask if he was a pit bull. Ummm....hello???? I get it alot now with my Boxer girl, because she's white. :rolleyes: Mini Boxers. *Snort* People are idiots, I swear.

Hmmm... we were told the Uros were easier and more 'kid friendly' - as far as not being fragile-skinned and usually being friendly. The major issue we have is keeping the tank temp right - it has to range from 120 in her basking area to around 70 in her cool area, and then 70s at night. We...

We have a Mali Uromastyx, she's our second, and she's great. They are very easy to care for, since they are desert dwellers, you have to maintain high heat but no humidity - plus they are herbivores, so that was definitely a draw for me, I can shop for her at my local Korgers. :D She's very...

A good rescue will know if a dog is good with children or not - most of our foster homes have children, from infants on up to teens and everything in between, even a couple living with special needs - our Boxers are fostered with these children and we *always* know whether a Boxer we adopt out...

Boxers rock! But please, don't crop the ears. If you go through a rescue, you can probably adopt one that has it's ears done, but unless a Boxer is being shown, there is no reason to crop the ears. It's a hassle, it's painful, and there's no need - even the show people are trying to get away...

I grew up with Quarter Horses - my parents raised a gorgeous mare who had several ROMs - she could do anything. I had a little bay mare that I showed both 4-H and open with, she was very versatile. Then I left home and got my dream horses - Arabians. Rode those for several years, got to be a...

Why you shouldn't get a Boxer: ~They never, ever grow up. They are puppies until the day they die ~Short life span, 10 - 12 years is about average ~Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn. Did I mention, stubborn? ~They are the masters of disobediance. They know what they are supposed to do, but...

I don't have a pic...so here's one from a dealership... I have a 2006 Chevy HHR, maroon. It hauls 2 kids and 2 adults, with room for 2 fifty pound dogs in the back! I adore it.

I like dark, brooding guys... think Joaquin Phoenix.... Or Vin Diesel... muscles never hurt! My husband is brooding.... which is sexy, but can be a major PITA! :lol-sign:

*Sniffles* My poor Boxers are getting pounded here!! Actually, people either 'get' Boxers and love them, or can't stand them - very little in between. I get them! I honestly can't say that I have a least favorite breed. I have breeds that absolutely wouldn't work in my family, but it's not...

Medium to large... check Athletic....check Intimidating looking....check Great with kids.....check Bonds with one person, but friendly to others.....check Low grooming needs....check Oversized lap dogs....check Intelligent....check Huh. Looks like you need a Boxer! :lol-sign:

When my husband and I bought our home, we decided the time was right for us to have a dog. We had 2 small kids, and all the research I did pointed to Boxers, as far as the best 'kid friendly' dogs. So I advertised in the Wanted section of PetFinders and a woman contacted me about a Boxer mix...

I have a Boxer. 'Nuff said. :lol-sign:

My Boxer sheds a ton... it's just the hair is so fine you don't notice it as much! :D Maltese don't shed, right?
