Boxer Talk

I have three boxers, one brindle and two fawn. The boy is the brindle and we call him Coffee (3 years old), my girls names are Cookie (1 1/2) and Maggie(4). This is my first time breeding my dogs and I was wondering do Coffee know what to do? Maggie is in heat now and I have seen Coffee humping her, but he is not in the vagina. So I was wondering will he ever figure it out or will I need to find another stud dog. I have notice that Maggie has been in heat now for about 8 days, but she is just now letting him mate with her. I know that is normal for her to start letting him mate now, but I was just worried that Coffee might figure out what to do.

Hi there g_code_1!

I have never bred my dogs or any others. Never wanted to or been particularly interested in doing so. So I can't really tell you any information that might put your mind at ease.

I'd would guess that given enough time Coffee will work it out him self. These things come naturally.

Still I don't really know, perhaps someone else will know more and answer your questions.

By the way, I love the names you've given your dogs!

Hi Paul,
g_code-1, We bred our boy Buster when he was 3 years old and he instinctivley knew what to do. The "humping " is probably part of the courtship ritual which goes before the deed. All I would say is that if you intend to breed your dogs, I would have someone with experience of it around, to advise you of the prodedure.

My male dog (Coffee) did finally breed with one of my girl dogs and I saw them tie up three times so we should be expecting puppies in about two months and wish me luck everyone.

Good work Coffee!

I assume you've thought and researched this business so of course, good luck g_code_1! Especially if there are puppies. I'd imagine they're a lot of work.

Hey Phil, nice to see you!

Yes I have done a lot of research on breeding and just in general of breeding Boxers. I have all took both of them to the vet to get their health testings and they both checked out great. I should be expecting puppies around the end of June and I have plans to start interviewing for parents for the them around the first of July. I have a GREAT VET and the best part is that he lives down the street from me lol. I really think that my babies will be just fine and thanks to everyone that had a response for me.

Good stuff g_code_1, sounds like you have it all worked out perfectly. Good luck with everything!

Come back when the puppies arrive and tell us how things went.

My puppies are here. They was born about 2 weeks ago and I have 5 brindle boxers and 1 white boxer. 4 boys and 2 girls. Thanks everyone for the advice

Wow, great news G_code!

Very happy to hear every thing's went so well for you, Coffee and your other dogs. Did it all go smoothly?

As for the advice, we didn't give much did we?

Do you have any pictures online?
