    The puppies are cute and Ruby is gorgeous. I'd love to help with the puppies. We were given an 8 yr old boxer. He's one of the best dogs we've ever had and even off leash on a walk will follow right along and not stray too far. However, last statement doesn't apply if he sees a cat or deer - he lives/loves to chase both of them. Give all of the puppies a cuddle for me and give Ruby some special treat. We joke that Buddy, our boxer, will eat anything that doesn't eat him first. That's probably true.

    Hugs and treats given, I think my kids would eat anything and everything if I gave it to them.
    I just love this breed and will problably always have a boxer now.

    How did he get 5-6....I thought I saw more but assumed he knew what he was talking about.
    There are 6 boys and 4 girls.
    We are having to bottle feed them also to help mom keep up. I am taking volunteer's to help and come puppy sit.
    There was one pup who had a ruff start, kept going blue, he is much better now and doing well.

    Well they are adorable!!! I looked online and found out that most WHITE boxer pups are either deaf/ or part deaf. :cry: I was thinking how beautiful that little white one is.

    Our Yorkie had 5 and my little Sunshine was born with a malformed pallet (sp)She struggled for a long time being fed with a syrenge, then a tiny baby bottle with formula I found on the internet, she did not like the formula from the pet store. when she was about 7 months she was really having so much milk out her tiny nose, I took her to a specialist and they did a wonderful job on her. But she will never be like 100%. She is the delight of our hearts. She is darling. You can see her on one of my threads.

    Your litter is darling PLEASE keep us posted on their progress!!!

    They are so sweet and beautiful. If I were closer I would buy one from you. Tell her she did a good job and give her a kiss for me.

    I'm very envious. We have had boxers for years. We are on our third and fourth. Our female fawn is Putter and our other female white is Lola. She is not deaf but her brother is. What loves they are. We would have no other breed of dog. They are just precious.

    Thank you, the vet gave her a calcium shot on saturday and she has been on 500 mg 2x a day. I am helping mom by bottle feeding and I mix some of the formula in her food and she gets the left over in the bottles.
    She is so protective that I have to feed her in the bed with the puppies and hold the bowl. Doya think she is spoiled?
    Everybody is doing well.

    I just love this breed also, I would not trade them for nothing.
