Zachary is one of Kena's puppies. There are seven in the litter and they are all doing great! Kena is brindle Boxer mix. We think the daddy might have been the Shepherd next door, but who really knows? These puppies will be fixed on June 2nd and ready for their forever home after that!
5/21 Foster Update:
"Did you know these puppies have 6 toes on their back feet? Zachary - my husband calls him ring nose, is his favorite. He likes to be held and his belly scratched. He likes to give kisses. He always runs into his crate at nap time. They've gotten bigger in the short time I've had them, and nice big bellies. They sure are eaters. They love the pumpkin I give them before there dog food. Please be sure when they are adopted, they go to good homes. They are such sweet puppies and they deserve a good home. I really hate to see them go. I have tears going down my face typing this email."
5/27 Foster Update:
"The puppies are doing great. They've got so big in the 2 weeks we've had them. They play and play in the backyard. Chance is still the leader of the pack and steals the toys from the other puppies. Cody loves to be the first one in his crate -- he runs straight in and sits and looks at you. Chance is still the renegade -- he never goes in on his own. Zach is in the middle of those 2. Zach and Cody like to cuddle, Chance is starting to. All three love to explore. I have those tall purple flowers (they're about 3 feet) on the side of my house, needless to say they've all been trashed. They love playing in them. Boy do they love they're snacks. I give Rusty only holistic food and snacks from Murphy's. These three absolutely love them. They have a feeding frenzy when I give the snacks to them. All 3 of the puppies were looking thru
our french doors on our porch. We were lucky to snap this picture. I
thought you might like it. My husband added their names. I will truly miss them. "

I'm going to take this opportunity once again to make a plea that, if you do not yet have a dog and want to adopt one, especially a puppy, you seriously consider adopting two, even if one is not an adult. Dogs love to be with other dogs. Look at how these puppies play with each other and their foster brother, Rusty, a one year old Aussie mix. Rusty is in 7th heaven, puppies are having a blast. To isolate a dog from other dogs, especially a puppy, is not in anyones best interest!


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, and your home. Known visitors will be welcomed boisterously. They are always keen to work and play. Boxers need lots of human companionship. They can be rather boisterous and even in old age are still extremely athletic. Teach the Boxer not to be boisterous and especially not to jump up at people. Boxers LOVE to jump. This breed is noted for courage and makes great guard dogs. Boxers have a wide use in military and police work. Training should start young and be firm and consistent. This breed requires a dominant owner. An excellent watchdog, the Boxer will restrain an intruder in the same way a Bulldog does. They have a life expectancy of 11-14 years.
