    This is Riley. He is a Boxer Lab mix. He is all and does all of those things mentioned except watch TV. He adores my grandbabies and they adore him. He has all of the Boxer traits as well as the Lab trait’s too. He is loved so much, and spoiled rotten.

    We love our boxer so much which has turned 9 years old. We did not know that boxers are prone to tumors. She got a tumor on her hind leg and had it removed. It then came back and got huge in a short period of time. It was a mass cell cancer tumor. We had that removed and then the most horrible thing happened. She got about a hundred lumps all over her body. We can’t possibly have all of them removed and they would just come back. They are also getting huge. We are determined we are going to give her the best life we can while we watch her slowly but surely die. This is so hard……. we love her very much and are hoping that she will die in her sleep.

    We would never think of having any other kind of baby but a boxer. The facts are all true but they forgot the boxer pounce, LOL. You know what I mean and how the can jump straight up in the air at times or do complete turn arounds in the air when making their food for them. I fight for my spot every single night in the bed and yes our female boser does sit right between my husband and I as we watch our shows an movies every single night sharing the popcorn or just being with us. Could not imagine our life without boxers in them.
