well this is a normal thing in puppies as their teeth begin to hurt as this is the time when they fall off and new ones start to grow, but you can try telling him “no” when he does this, you can also leave him and walk away as if you don’t want to talk to him. but don’t pull your hand from his mouth aggressively because he will think that you are playing and will keep doing it. but the best option is to buy him a rubber bone and give it to him when he starts biting your hand until his teeth stop hurting him and he will stop biting eventually.

she is not going throught obidience classes
we were told she is to smart for them…
at 4 months she new Sit, Stay, Come, Lye Down, Leave it and go fetch…
so i dont know why she still goes crazy and jumps on me, she bites hard and goes CRAZY…
She listens sometimes but we think that she may have established that i am only her playate what do u think?

I have been watching that very same behaviour now the trainer in this case says that she goes mad and causes chaos because she might a not now how to interact properly with other dogs as when u were told your pups to clever did that end the socilazing with other animals and there owners ..do u walk or interact much with other dogs on your walk has she been on a pack walk with u and other dogs also if she is on a leash if you are not calm when meeting other people or other dogs your fears and tension is put straight on your dog as dogs thrive off our energy we are projecting u have to be calm and have the leash slack

thanks guys
Laura Miedzianowski
the trainer is the vet she is too smart
but thanks its wierd tho she only goes crazy around me anyone else she is calm with do you know why that is??

You don’t need supplements if you do it right. Read the book Unlocking the Canine Ancestral Diet by Steven Brown. Steve has been formulating commercial dog foods for over 20 years and so understands how to provide a balanced diet feeding homemade.  The book has a lot of science but chapter 5 has clear recipes to follow.  I have read over a dozen books on this topic and I think this is the best when it comes to helping you understand balanced nutrition. 

Braise, please read the responses in your first post. Duplicates are not necessary.

No only yours

No I don’t a Vet office told me to go to Breeders.net and there should be a Boxer breeder there . The puppies are AKC . What happen the boxer mom all of a sudden stop letting the puppies nurse so the lady has been trying to fed them. She said the momma is starting to let them nurse now . She said the weight loss and hair loss was due to the mom not letting them nurse that the puppies are gaining weight. I know lots of breeders ask for more but paying $ 500.00 I should be getting a healthy pup. I’m wondering if this may effect his growth , all other breeders pups are around 9 lbs, mine is 5 lbs. and will the hair grown back like normal. Thank you for the replies , I will contact local chapter.

Thank you , Then they should not have a Breeders.net page ,. My parents used to breed full blood collies from champion bloodlines when they first married . Just because they didn’t attach a $ 2500.00 price tag didn’t make the Purebred Collie puppies worthless . Today it’s all about money . I also have been told NOT to go to a high priced breeder because it is all about the money and they will breed the same female as many times in the year to get more puppies on the market . Its like youre saying go to the ghetto’s and get puppies no one wanted ,I’m sure some puppies taken to rescue were puppies from these so called great breeders that thought the puppies didnt meet the breeder’s standards or their purebred female got knocked up by a mutt ( Most likely when this happens they put the female down or in rescue . I have seen Breeders that sold puppies for $ 400.00 or $ 500.00 that came from Champion bloodlines. I myself have seen top notch Dalmatian breeder put the puppies down because one ear was black the other puppies had pink noses some had part black nose part pink, Thanks so much for supporting these over priced breeders that some over breed their dogs. ( notice I said some ) I guess thats why you are labeled ” Dog and cat owner, former rescue owner ” . not a licensed vet or professional . I came here mostly concerned about the puppies health and growth process and thought the vet could answer my concerns. I love what you said ” At $500, you’ve not gone to a breeder I’d recommend ” . and ” As someone who lost a puppy early, trust me when I say this…you WANT that breeder support if you’re going to go through a breeder.” . because for a fact the non refundable $ 300.00 to $ 600.00 deposit WILL not be returned if the puppies were sickly . I will not be coming back to this site and will be sure to tell others not to try get a question answered here. merely a poorly ran blog .

Sure they all came from God go ahead and support only over priced breeders . good bye thanks just because you couldnt answer the question doesnt mean I went to a bad breeder . good luck giving advice

backyard greeder thanks my parents raised purebreds they didnt even want to change for the puppies but ask very little for the vet bill etc: $ 1200.00 to $ 2300.00 doesnt make the puppies any better . no matter how many ways you want to say it the price tag doesnt make the puppies any better than another purebred puppy.

It tells me quite a bit about how much they invested in the litter.

Boxer genetic health testing is expensive…and is a very basic part of the prebreeding process. http://americanboxerclub.org/health-screening.html

This is completely ignoring the conformational mess most subpar breeders tend to produce. This is JUST health. What of those tests have your breeder done on their dogs? They should be able to produce documentation.

I have never – NEVER – met a breeder charging such a small amount for puppies that actually did the required health testing on breeding animals. Have you considered why this might be?

Not always , there are tons of people who breed purebred puppies that have the puppies vet checked the entire time plus gives the buyer the puppies records since birth , some will give a heath guarantee , and people are on waiting list as well . Sure there are bad breeder’s everywhere . Some people do not believe in over changing some care about animals and making things a little easier for people who can’t afford 1200.00 for a pet . Seriously what will you feel like if you pay $ 1200.00 to $ 2300.00 two months down the road it just dies . Even high priced breeders don’t know if a puppy will drop dead . Just like Izzy that came from a high priced breeder was walking around the pond she walked around everyday dropped dead instantly from Cardiomyopathy. She had a clean bill of health every time she went to the vet. You are taking a chance when you buy a animal

I still did not get my question answered all you people want to do is yak about breeders , Yes she and you and anyone else can’t make me believe a breeder doesnt have to charge what they do lets say for a boxer , Ive seen price tags for over $ 2000.00 per pup wow that mean out of one litter a breeder will make close to $ 10,000.00 . wow really just under $ 10,000.00 per litter . I told you her puppies were checked out wit clean bill of health from birth until its sold the the new owners responsibility there after. High priced puppies has ended up in rescue as well . You cannot say puppies end up in rescue because of the breeder . I have tried adopting from a rescue , where are any purebred puppies ? some come from puppy mills . I went through ever rescue from Georgia , Alabama , Tennessee , Florida , I did not find a purebred puppy most were aging unwanted boxers and mixed . I tried two times adopting even a 5 year old boxer guess what I was turned down because I did not have a fenced in back yard . We live on 3 acre’s of land no where close to a highway , my boxers are never left alone they do not live and sleep outside . These aging 5 year old and the other two older boxers had plenty of land when I took it out to run and exercise . Let me repeat myself and I am not fibbing they told me because I did not have a fenced in backyard I cannot adopt . I posted on face book Atlanta Boxer rescue after seeing one of the dogs name Jayda photo I posted under her photo. It makes no sense you still have Jayda asking someone to come forward and give Jayda a good home . Why do you ask for people to complete the application , and someone will come out to visit and a person gets turned down due to no fenced in yard then come on face book adverting Boxer needs a home when you do not let people adopt because of no fenced in yard. I am telling you this because Rescue keeps coming up . STOP ! I will say it again why was my questions not answered ?

You people are brainwashed , I am leaving this website and I would have by now but this b.s keeps popping up in my e mail . I will leave here leaving all of you a legitimate website called Consumer Affairs and there are hgh priced breeders that has quite the reputation with the Better Business Bureau . Before I leave you the link I would like to say if I had said I paid $ 1800.00 for a Boxer puppy you people would have been singing a different tune . It also makes me wonder the ones here that are breeders that charges lets say $ 1500.00 for a boxer puppy must be something wrong with your puppies next to the breeder that charges 2800.00 for the same breed of Boxer . Obviously the breeder charging $ 2800.00 for the very same breed of boxer took way much more care and had the puppies texted by a much better vet . too funny ! This consumer report is complaints about breeders association of america inc — heres the link read the complaints —https://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/breeders-association-of-america-inc.html

This is just a couple of links where breeders have been turned in to the Better Business Bureau . Do your homework people . BBB LINK —-http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/pet-services/purebred-breeders-in-cooper-city-fl-22003405/complaints.

Heres one that you wont know what to say about your amazing such caring breeders—-

http://www.complaintsboard.com/bysubcategory/dog-breeders.html

I would contact your local chapter of the Boxer Club of America and ask them about this breeder. Here is the link to the chapter clubs: http://www.americanboxerclub.org/us-boxer-clubs.html

Clean it up IMMEDIATELY.  Redirect when he starts to eat it.  Don’t leave him in the yard by himself and supervise closely (you should do this anyway).  I would talk with your vet to make sure he’s eating a proper diet for his breed and age, as well.

Hello Bettye, there are a few foods you can use to wean the puppies.

A lot of people use baby rice but mix it with goats milk, dogs cannot digest cows milk.

You don’t say what breed the puppies are but for my Cocker Spaniel puppies I used to give then a walnut size ball of raw minced steak once s day.

Do some research on the internet and you’ll find lots of advice on what to feed puppies of your breed/size. Good luck!

You take him/her to a well puppy vet appointment and the vet will be able to give you a good idea based on its teeth.  Here is an article that talks about how the vet makes an educated guess: http://www.dogster.com/lifestyle/how-can-you-tell-how-old-a-dog-puppy-is-age-determine-ask-vet

But really – every puppy should see a vet within a few days (3 at most) of arriving at your home.  There are shots the puppy needs to stay healthy, the vet can give you an idea of age, answer questions about diet, tell you if the puppy is healthy or if you have problems brewing.  So set up the appointment now.

Congratulations on your new family member!
