Description:
Kruzer is a handsome little puppy. You'll never believe how he arrived in our care. Michelle dropped by Judy's house to pick something up and found the gate open. There in the drive way was a crate. Inside the crate was a dog and her three puppies. No food. No water. No note. Who leaves a little family like this in the blazing Florida summer sun with no shade or water? That is inhumane!
Kaily is fostering this family and learning more about them every day. We don't really know what breed they are. Momma Kiya looks like a small Catahoula/Greyhound mix to me. Kaily says she looks like a petite Rhodesian Ridgeback minus the ridge. The puppies all look like Boxers, but since we have no idea who the daddy is.... Kruzer is a really good looking guy, all white with fawn highlights. And he has all the joy you would expect in a puppy! Check out the video at the bottom of this page.

8/19 Foster Update:
Kruzer has the best ears ever! My boyfriend and I love them. He's so sweet. He's playful like Snickers and likes to play with my toes. The boys pair up a lot to play with toys. You can't really see them in his photos, but Kruzer has brown freckles on his white fur around his face and all over his body. Very sweet dog...I already had to lecture JT that we can't keep any of them because he loves this puppy so much.

8/30 Foster Update: These puppies are a prime example of why mutts are such great dogs. The intelligence that these little guys possess is unbelievable. And they are all going to blossom into such gorgeous dogs. These little guys are doing wonderfully with potty training. They know that they are SUPPOSED to go outside, and hardly ever go on the carpet anymore. The puppy training pads help out a lot! They do go on the tile though when they can't hold it. I brought them to my dad's house again last night (he has a HUGE fenced-in backyard) and they LOVE to play in the yard. If you saw the way they romp around...anyone who wants one of these little guys needs to have a fenced yard. I think the boys may even outweigh their mother when they're full grown. They've each put on 3 pounds in 2 weeks. Flirt may be a little smaller than them when she's done growing. Snickers looks a lot like a boxer, Kruzer looks a lot like an American Bulldog, and Flirt...just looks like a princess. All of their markings are so cute. Kruzer actually has brown freckles all over his body (they just started showing up...kind of like a puppy dalmation's do). All of them have prominent freckled fur on their white fur. These guys are sooooo cute. Whoever gets these little ones is going to be very lucky!



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 an
