Weebie the Boxer Puppy's mother, Mona the Senior Boxer (adopted) can also be seen on our website.

Description:
Weebie, aka Mimzie, is a little white Boxer, maybe a mix. Her foster named her Weebie because she is such a sweet and gentle Wee baBIE!!! She is the daughter of Mona the Boxer, and the only one of a litter of 5 to survive. Mona was so emaciated she was unable to nurse and care for her babies when they were born. We have bottle-fed Weebie and fostered her with another litter of puppies so she would learn canine social skills. According to her foster, "She is in great health loves people , very responsive and socialized. Likes other dogs, very brave, about 5 weeks old, eating on her own, keeps up with the older litter, loves to play outside, sleeps thru the night, about 3 pounds only yet, but growing daily. Follows us everywhere in the house, loves the older dogs as well as puppies. Stares into your eyes and melts your heart."
Weebie is a real sweetheart and will probably be available for adoption in early June. Meanwhile, she and a couple other puppies need a new foster home. Would you like to play with some puppies for a couple of weeks? If so, please complete a foster application. We are always in need of fosters, especially for our kittens, puppies and more needy pets. Thanks!
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Boxer's ancestors were two German mastiff type dogs, the Bullenbeiszer and the Barenbeiszer. They were later crossed with the powerful ancestors of the Mastiff and Bulldog. Early on, these dogs were prized for hunting, bull baiting, and for pulling carts. A bit farther down the family tree, Boxer ancestors became cattle dogs, and were used to round up livestock. They were also popular circus and theater dogs because they learned tricks so easily. Breeding was rather indiscriminate until the first Boxer studbook was started in 1904, stabilizing the breed standard. In spite of its German origins, "Boxer" is an English name that suitably describes the dog's punchy fighting style. Though early Boxers may have been quite ferocious, the breed today is a very gentle, loving family companion. Some of the Boxer's talents are watchdogging, guarding, police work, military work, search & rescue, competitive obedience, schutzhund and performing tricks.
The Boxer is happy, high-spirited, playful, curious and energetic. Highly intelligent, eager and quick to learn, but can be stubborn and sneaky. The Boxer is a good dog for competitive obedience. Constantly on the move, bonding very closely with the family. Loyal and affectionate, Boxers are known for the way they get along so well with children. A well brought-up and properly socialized Boxer will also get along with his own kind and other household pets. However one Boxer owner reported; their Boxer is best friends with their many barn cats and second dog, but will chase and eat their ducks and other farm birds. The female boxer will often get into fights with other female dogs, trying to display her dominance. If one owns a female boxer and another female dog, they will get along and even play most of the time, however they will most likely fight from time to time. It has been said that the name Boxer came from the way the Boxer likes to use is front paws for just about everything. If you have ever watched a Boxer go about his business you may have noticed the way he paws at his toys, food bowl and you for that matter, in a very playful cat-like way. Some Boxers have been known to paw at their food or water bowl if they are empty. Playfully barking, pawing and playing with the bowl, flipping it upside-down and putting their front paws on the top of the bowl, sliding it around the house barking and whining until someone fills it for them. It looks like a silly game, but the Boxer knows what he is trying to tell you, he's hungry! While participating the sport of schutzhund, Boxers are known to jump up and use their front paws as if they are boxing. They are very clownish and playful and have been known to grab and carry ANYTHING around including your knickknacks if he thinks he can get away with it. The Boxer's nature is to protect you, your family
