Wow! A lot of boxer people out there. We also have 2 currently, and have had 2 prior to these ones. We didn't have a lot of health issues with any of them, however they get a lot of moles or growths which you always are having checked out. (always were benign)
Our first 2 lived until 9 and 10 years old. Our current 2 are 5 1/2 and 6 years. They have sensitive stomachs so are always fed high quality food which in itself runs us about $75/month for the 2. They have wonderful personalities, 2 very different male dogs. They will chew the odd item left out in the house, or steal a loaf of bread off the counter if they're home alone. But really great dogs. They like to think of themselves as people --brothers to my 2 boys, kids to us; when told to get off the couch the alpha dog looks at me like "are you serious?".
One is very high energy, the other could sleep all day out in the sun. All in all, we love the breed, but have always known the family tree behind them.....as with any dog, if you don't know what's in that tree, there could be potential problems.
If you end up with her definitely do the puppy school thing. Very helpful.
