BOXERS ETC.

Hi Alice!

Your new Sable pups are gorgeous.  I would love to have another one of your
pups, but I have my hands full with Peaches (AKA Tori). She is in an Advance
Obedience now and has become very well behaved if no one is around, but she
loses all concentration if people are near.  She loves everyone and everyone
in town knows her.  She is such a delight. I think she has finally out grown
her carsickness. Yeah! You did a great job socializing her.  Enclosed are
some pictures I took today.

Thanks so much for allowing us to have such a wonderful companion.

Thanks again!
Ray & Betty

Hi Alice,
  Just wanted to send you a couple pictures of Millie.  She is 36lbs now and is so fun.  She plays all day long and loves going on walks.  We have a boxer down the street that she loves to play with too.
Pics:
She is in the car going for a ride
She plays so much that she just stops where she is at toy still in mouth and falls asleep 
She is getting BIG! 
I was wondering if you can send me a couple pictures of her mom and dad?  I just want to see what they looked like.
 
Thanks a bunch!
Ryan, Nikki & Millie :)

Hey Alice,
  I have attached a pic from this weekend.  We love her so much.  She really is an incredible dog.  Thanks again!

Howdee Alice,

  Hope all is going well for you.  Here is a picture of Maddie.  She is still a wonderful dog and great companion.A very sweet girl.  She only knows two speeds, Fast and Faster!!   She should be on a track.  Loves the outdoors and its "all about playing.   She loves to catch tennis balls in her mouth and loves playing ball and frisbee's. I'll forward some other pictures to you soon. She just had her shots in February and she weighs 45 pounds and Dr. Hudspeth says he is very happy with her weight and her physical form.  She looks good.  She has a boyfriend named "Boone".  She will run and play with him till she is exhausted.  Thats pretty much what she likes to do.  She gets along with all dogs. 

Hugs,Cheryl

Hey Alice!! Been meaning to email for 2 weeks. Jax is a lump of love. He is happy healthy and growing like a weed. He weighed 14 lbs at vet appt last Tuesday. He is going thru a growth spurt I guess bc we can't fill him up. Children are having a ball with him. He has been such a sweet boy. We've stocked up on chewy toys and so far they have taken the brunt of the teething. Hope you are well and HAPPY EASTER!!

Warmly,
Chandra

(Btw I'm bribing him w this baby moosie trying to get a still picture. Being still is one thing the boy has not mastered)

Hi Alice,
I wanted to share some pictures of Oliver and our Chocolate lab, Kassi. They're getting along great! Oliver is such a brave boy, he plays with her like he thinks he's as big as her, and he follows her around like a little brother would a big sister! It's adorable :)

Hi Alice,

We love our little boy Greyson. He is very clever. He can open our front door and the door to the garage. He just decides to go outside and he simply goes! He has learned to ask and wait for us. He is funny and soooo sweet. But he has never been alone. He has a friend he stays with during the middle day hours. He loves our horses and never misses a chance to go with us riding. When I feed him, he is so gentle and usually touches his nose to me in a, "doggy thank you" way.

The other day our Greyson found a man in the forest half frozen to death, literally, and with no shoes on! Greyson alerted attention and stayed with the man until help came. Another couple of hours and the man would not have had a chance. All of the emergency people congratulated Greyson. Our little boy was so humble and eloquent, he turned to the people, raised a paw and said, "Ahh schucks you guys, it's just little 'ol me". Everyone laughed, then, Greyson continued along his day in a normal doggy way!

Thanks Alice for such sweet special animals!
Christine

Here’s a little update on Rocky and Apollo!

They live in Houston, TX and will be 5 on 4/16! We got them in July of 2008 and they are awesome!

You can post on your puppies past page if you like!

Alice,

The boys absolutely love "jace" is is snuggled on the couch next to me right now. He had a great car ride home and seems to be adjusting well. The problem is my wife also wants Olivia. How do you think Olivia and jace would be growing up together? Please be in touch, if you think it would work I would like to get back down there tomorrow, late morning to pick her up. I guess I should have asked the question prion to leaving.....

Thanks again,
Andrew

Alice,

Thank you so much for "Brandy"! The sweet girl and I made it home safe after a long ride, which she slept 7 hours in my lap. We still haven't picked her name but have a long list we narrowed down. My wife and kids have been thrilled with her (especially my daughter who is our little dog whisperer), we are having a hard time getting her to do anything else even eat because she wants to spend all her time with the new pup. We will send pictures and updates for you to see soon and post on your web site if you like. It was great to meet you and we'll be in touch.

Thanks so much,

Andy

Greetings Alice, Issey now 5 Years old is the Love of my life!!!

She is adjusting so well!! We love her:-)

Here is little Madison Harlow Monroe of Savannah. She is One year old today. She is beautiful and a wonderful dog and companion.

I wanted to share these pics with you. How are you doing? How is Molly doing? Any more puppies? I hope all is well for you.

Madison is such a GREAT dog!! She has filled my heart with lots of love and compassion. She gets along well with other dogs

and she shoudl be the Rabbit on the Derby track. She is such an athletic dog, loves to run, out run other dogs and they can never catch

her. She is crate trained and very well behaved. She is always with someone and I have house sitters for her when I am gone.

Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Lots of paw hugs!!

Hi Alice,
I just sent you a few pics of ruby. She is by far the best puppy I have ever had! She adores both of her brothers.

 Here she is on super bowl Sunday with her big brother cash. She watches television all of the time.

She loves to snuggle. Thanks again, candy from Massachusetts

He loves his mommy.

We sent a few pictures to you today.  Isn't he a cutie? He's a dear puppy, and we love him so much

as does Simon, our older dog.  He seems to have two speeds -- off and on!  What a fireball he can be

Phyllis

Happy holidays from mack(ice) now 83 pounds

Mack is doing great. He is super smart and loves to play run and be chased around! He is a super friendly guy very queit but doesn't like people coming up to his front door  unannounced  ( he likes to guard his home) he is such a great dog and I think he will probably end up in the high 80 pound range

Hi Alice:
Aspen is the love of our lives, a very smart and energetic lady.  She has just passed her Intermediate obedience call and is headed to advanced next year.  She loves to run with us, although she mostly chases our feet and her favorit thing is to jump all over her 13 yr old boxer brother Sebastian.  She loves Austin TX.  We have lakes and trails and a lot of things for her to get into so she explores every one of them.  What an adventurer she turned out to be.

Thank you for all of your support

Kind regards,

Amanda and Stu

Hey Alice, here are some more pictures of our baby girl, Maddie. She 
has been a sweetheart and we love her like she is one of our kids.  
She is still tiny weighing in at 40lbs but eats like a pig! We will 
periodically update you with more pictures of Maddie! Take care.

 As you can see Rosie is a beautiful pup.  She weighs 10 pounds now and is quite a character.  She barks, growls, howls and follows Mike everywhere he goes

I thought you’d like a few pics of Taffy.  Actually, we call her Sassy-Taffy because she’s such a rascal and rambunctious. She’s absolutely gorgeous and raises hell with the other dogs. If I’m drinking something while sitting in my easy chair she jumps up and licks my lips. She’s all legs right now but is filling out nicely.  Her knuckles above her paws are bigger than I would have expected so I think she’ll be more than seventeen pounds as you thought. 

Here’s the latest pics taken on the 25^th (attached)  

We already had her spade and all shots brought up to date; we also had a chip put in her neck and have her registered with the company that tracks lost dogs… 

Stan 

This is AJ  (My wife and I bought KASSIDY from you now known as "vogue").

    Vogue is doing well and I have attached a picture of her sleeping for you to see! Thanks again

Hi Alice!

Hey!!

She is doing great. Only took her one day to come out of her shell.

Her and kahlua are getting along great. Here are some pictures!!

Erin

Hi Mrs. Alice
Abby is doing great.  She have seen the vet twice since we picked her up from you ,next week she is due for another series of shots and then as our vet said she can be around other dogs - that should be fun :). We want to thank you for her once more she is adorable and beautiful pup that brought so much joy and happiness to our house.

Hi Mrs. Alice when Nika saw Abby's pics on your website page
she complained why isn't she with her , so here they are best pals ever :)  

One more pic I just can't resist sharing this with you , she is so beautiful and perfectly build did I said smart too :) Monica J

Dear Alice, 

It’s hard to believe, but Gabe, Alexa and I are just past celebrating a 1 month anniversary!  They are both doing fine and I already love them dearly!  I will attach several pictures to this message, which you are welcome to post on your website, and I will send more in the coming months.  Gabe is now 49 pounds and Alexa is 40 … but it’s all growing and their ribs are still showing.  They love to play together and at this point share one crate.  Gabe has an easy going temperament and from the beginning has proved to be a natural retriever.  He needed absolutely no training to go fetch, bring back, and drop at your feet whatever you throw for him.  He particularly likes squeaky things and has again and again shown an openness to new “friends” … my son’s girlfriend’s German Sheppard, my cat, and other small and large dogs we meet on walks.  Alexa is smart, but far more cautious, defensive and sometimes fearful.  She has bonded to me very well, but she relies on me for reassurance whenever anyone/anything new comes into the environment.  Her favorite game is tug-of-war, yet recently she has also become determined to show me that she can retrieve as well as Gabe.  (Gabe is still the most reliable about bringing and dropping toys directly in front of me to throw again.  Very recently he has adopted a pattern of deciding that Alexa hasn’t brought the toy right to me and will pick it up and move and drop it closer to my feet.) 

House breaking these two has been a challenge, given their age and kennel upbringing.  But we are just about to consistently perfect days.  I read in one of the Boxer books I’ve purchased recently that a good way of training was to hang a bell on the door and use peanut butter to first get the dogs to ring the bell at the door and later to reward them for letting you know that they wanted to go outside and do their business.  Based upon my experience, I would highly recommend this method for anyone buying older puppies raised in a kennel environment.  I had an old set of 6 Christmas bells (reindeer type ball bells) on a leather strap, which I cut in two and hung one of each part from the two doors I wanted Gabe and Alexa to use to signal that they needed to go outside.  In my experience with other dogs, I have trained them to bark close to the door when they wanted to go outside.  Now I’m not sure how I am going to get Gabe and Alexa to do the same, but the bell ringing has certainly saved me from their scratching the doors!  

I’ve gotten both Gabe and Alexa on their heartworm med routine, as well as Frontline.  Sometime shortly after they came, I think that Alexa bite the tip of Gabe’s ear in their rough-house playing.  I had been treating the wound, but took Gabe to my vet last week, because I was concerned about the slow healing.  My vet said that she thought the wound was healing alright, but found that Gabe had a yeast infection in his ear for which she gave me drops.  In addition to these drops I am continuing to apply an antibiotic silver ointment to Gabe’s ear wound and in the last couple of days it is looking much better.  I am also reprimanding and putting a stop to these two from doing such rough housing, as they are sometimes inclined to do.  (I call it “Boxy Puppy.”)  Alexa is an incredible “dancer” and a bit of a “nipper.”  But she responds quickly to my reprimands in this regard.  On the very positive side, she has been the quickest to learn what I expect in terms of house training and often sets the example and then “prompts” Gabe to get on with doing his business in a timely fashion.

I’ve had many, many compliments on both of these puppies from other people. 

I haven’t checked your website recently, but hope that all is well with your new arrivals!

Sincerely,  Mary     chambersm@cox.net

Hi Alice,

I wanted to send you some pictures of Tux. We just love him so much, and he is such a wonderful dog! I have attached some pictures of his progression since we picked him up in September!

Hi Alice~

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving holiday.  Sorry it has taken awhile to get these to you.  He has received all his shots and rabies vaccinations too!! He and Paige are getting along SO well and just love each other…they follow each other around, it is quite cuteJ.  He is also learning his obedience signals fairly well because Paige sets a good example for himJ.  I went ahead and attached some pics of them for you!!

Thanks again

Hi Alice,
It was a long trip, we got home 9:30 pm. We took turns between driving, and holding Scarlett - needless to say she is being spoiled by us. She didn't eat much yesterday, but did drink bottled water. She ate good this morning at 7am. She only had one accident in her crate around 2am, but was fine at 4am, 6am, & 8am with dry clean crate and pottied outside from 2am on. She has already learned routine of which door to I take her out. She is so sweet and lovable that I am not sure who is spoiling who. Everyone here loves her, and she loves the attention. She is laying at my feet now with her head resting on my shoe looking up at me.
Thanks so much for allowing us to adopt such a wonderful little girl.
Sincerely, Jerry & Mina

She is doing good. She will not leave our other dog Mikey's tail alone and it is driving him crazy! She is very playful and has been a good girl for us. Everybody LOVES her. She gets more compliments than anybody I have ever seen. She loves all the attention. She hasn't had any accidents the past few days but she is still working on her house training. We don't trust her to not pee in the house because she will just up and pee right there in front of us, but she had definitely improved. She is a joy and we are so glad she is apart of our family.We do have more pictures. You can't tell how big she has gotten in them but they are really cute pictures of her. I will send you a few more.

This is my favorate one! I'll have to take some current ones to send you!

she is very spoiled.she did really good at the vet she's 16 lbs they told us to keep her on the adult food. she got 1 shot and her heart worm pill we take her back on the 25 for another shot.she told us not to take her to public parks until she gets her rabbi shot. she wasn't old enough to get it yesterday she will get it Sept 15th.she did tell us if we are not gonna mate her we should think about getting her fixed. please tell me what your thoughts on that is. we are not mating her.

Hi Alice,
Thought you would like to see pictures of Oreo now 2 years old.  She is so sweet and gives the softest best kisses in the world.  She didn't get very big, only about 45 lbs.  She is perfect. 

Sue

Hello Alice,

I'm sorry I haven't written or sent photos to you of Georgia a.k.a.
Madison.  Before any more time went by I wanted to send you and update. 
The name Georgia fits her perfectly every where we take  her people
Oooo! and Ahhhh! over her and what a pretty puppy she is even our vet
thinks she's perfect of course so do we.  She's sweet, smart, playful,
loving, funny and cuddly .  She has been so easy to train she loves a
pat on the head when she follows a command
actually she is motivated by food and prefers a training treat over a 
pat on the head. :-D   She'll be 8 months old on May 12 and she's a
healthy 45 lbs.  Some photos are attached for you.  Thanks so much Alice
we love our little girl!

Ann & Ron Ruecker

Alice,
    Little Ashely is doing great.... Cody (her big brother) loves her, and is already very protective. She doesn't seem to like sleeping in the kennel, so she has joined us in bed at night. We have not had any accidents in the house, I think I picked the perfect puppy! Dan is out of town until Friday morning, with the camera.... I will send you pictures on Friday. Thanks so much, we are so pleased with our little girl,
                                     Angie

Hi Alice,

Just to let you know Brandy is doing just great and growing so fast!

She was 17.4 lbs. at the vet last week.  She is just a fantastic pup

and coming along really well with her house training.

Hope all is well with you and you are staying warm!

Sandia

Hi Alice, 

Pictures of Catalina and Cornelius with their San Diego Chargers gear on and then a second picture of the pooches and Kellan.   Catalina and Cornelius celebrated their respective 1^st and 2^nd birthdays this past December.   Our son Kellan was born in early November.

We are so happy that we decided to get Catalina so that Cornelius would have a buddy.   The two of them are inseparable.   They are great with the baby as well.   Catalina gives Kellan “kisses” good morning each day.  Cornelius is very protective of him and gets upset when he cries.  

We are one big happy family!

Hi Alice,

Im just sending you an email to let you know Georgia is doing just fine! She's getting used to the new environment slowly. She did not like the leash at first, but Saturday night we had her walking on the leash without a problem! She's not perfect on the leash but she is just fantastic. She's had a few accidents going to the bathroom inside, but this morning for the first time she pooped on the sidewalk as soon as we got outside, then we place a paper towel wither her pee on the grass and she went right there! Also, she loves her crate and bed inside of it.

She's been a doll, we love her.

We'll keep you updated!

-Dan

Dear Alice,
 
I wanted to let you know that Paulie is such a wonderful addition to our family. We have received so many compliments on his temperament and beauty.  Paulie has been to soccer games, the park, and to the beach.  He loves to socialize and is well mannered.  He is great with the kids and is as gentle as he can be with our pomeranian.  We love so much.  Thank you for raising such wonderful boxers.
 
Warmest Regards,

Alice,

Just wanted to update you on little Cookie.  She is the smartest puppy I have encountered!  She already knows half a dozen commands & is well along the way on potty training.  Everyone loves her, including the big dog, Sheba.

We have friends who may be interested in a puppy this spring.  Do you have any puppies that may be available then? 

Thank you. 

Pam

Alice,
I wanted to send you a few pictures of Hunter (aka Pacino).  He has been a
great addition to our family.  He and Hemi are getting along wonderfully,
they seem like true brothers.
Thanks,
Jeff     jeff@tolanmachinery.com

Here we are picking up Bailey at the Cargo area. She is doing great and 
fitting into our family great. We all love her.

She had her vet check today and all healthy. We go back in a few weeks 
for shots.
Thank you!   markgolledge@mac.com

 Now living in New York.Hi Alice

Victoria and I just wanted to send you a few pictures of B.J. We will send more pictures during the holiday season. 

Hope all is well and thanks for everything.  You are the best.  

Alice~

 We just love Zowie to death. Maybe a little too much! She is so sweet, obedient, intelligent, almost too good to be true! We want to get her a play mate soon from you so hopefully we’ll be in touch in the next 6 months or so. Thank you so much. She is a perfect addition to our lives.

Candice & Michael

Alice,

Hold on to your socks, this is the perfect picture yet of what beauties you have blessed our home with.

Hi Alice.......

It was great talking to you yesterday.  I'm so glad you're doing well with
plenty of puppies running around.  Here's my adorable puppy who turns 3 on
September 30th -- Mz Rhianna!  I'm attaching two puppy photos that were on
your website when I purchased her.   The one with her head on the pillow is
six months and the 4th on the carpet she's about 18 months.     

I'll be calling you soon to get another one as soon as I'm back in Miami. 

Take care now!

Lois

Alice,
 
Here are some newer pictures of Reese. She is doing great and is a great companion. Thank you again for a great dog.   Joey

Hey alice, just wanted to send you a quick update. Harley (aka Kabe) is getting along great with Tank and the whole family. This is my second teenager from you and I am convinced that you have developed an excellent temperment with your boxers. My kids can pull on them, climb on them and annoy them but they just keep loving and licking them. I would gladly recommend anyone interested in a boxer to you. Thanks again. I will send a few more pictures soon.

Chad  

Alice,

Just a little note to say Oreo (Stone) is doing just fine.  He loves his new home.  Loves to chase our 1 ½ year old cat.  He loves to play with our 4 year old cocker but Boswell hasn’t truly be-dogged him yet.  We will send pictures but wanted to let you know how he is doing.  These pictures are from a couple of days after we picked him up, my nephew were in town from NJ.   He is a real character.   My wife and I are thoroughly enjoying him.  Thanks again.

Ron & Becky

This is Marley.  She is a beautiful boxer with an amazingly loving temperament, purchased from you at Boxersetc.  She has adapted to the mountain life quite well.  She resides in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  She is mischievous, (look what she did to my couch), as is the temperament of most boxers, but nonetheless a wonderful addition to our home.

Beau Littell    beaulittell@yahoo.com

Hello Alice,

Sorry this note is so long overdue.  I have to tell you, I can’t imagine life without Charlie (formerly Sawyer).  In five short months he has enriched my life and those around me beyond comprehension. He’s extremely smart, funny, affectionate, happy-go-lucky, friendly—if only I could find a two legged male like him, life would be perfect!  All kidding aside, I am so grateful to have him in my life and I look forward to many happy years with my new best friend.  Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

All the best to you and your family, 

Susan

Hi Alice,

Wanted to send you a few images of the puppies, I know you must be missing
them! Alex is thinking of naming Vegas, Nash; after Crosby Stills Nash &
Young...nothing yet for Venus...
My older dogs were first annoyed by then and didn't like all the jumping and
dive bombing, but the puppies are learning not to do that and the older ones
are accepting them more and more as you can see my female just let them
share her bed!

I feel like I have 2 more children, they are a handful, but so much joy!
I'll send you more pics when the weather clears and I can take them out to
play....

Regards and Thanks!

Tracy           tracy@tracymurdock.com
 

Alice. Sorry it took so long to get the pictures to you. Reese is doing great! She loves her toys especially the tennis ball. She really likes to sleep. I think I am going to have to get a bigger bed because she is growing fast and takes up the entire bed. I get comments on her everywhere we go. Thank you for a great dog.

Some pics of my growing boy attached.
His name is Rocco and he is soooooooo loved.
