I’m getting a PUPPY and need some help?
Will be getting a boxer/black lab mix. Could you please answer the following questions?
1. What supplies do I need?
2. Is there any special care for boxers/black labs?
3. How often will it need a bath?
4. How do you “potty” train them?
5. What kind of food should I feed it? (Brand name?)
6. Recommended sites I could visit?
7. Any tips for me?
(and yes, I am a first time dog owner :3 never had anything but kitties)
oh, and…
8. At what age can/should a puppy be taken to a park?
First you gotta know the character and temperament
Although the Boxer is a loyal and intelligent family companion, his somewhat stubborn and self-confident character and high prey drives require careful consideration. He must be obedience-trained to control his exuberance and guide his mettle into acceptable channels. He is, after all, a big, strong dog.
He is also good-natured, suffering the pokes and prods of children with stoicism, accepting friendly strangers, and always ready for a romp or a game. Left to his own devices, he can get into trouble. Writer and gentleman farmer Louis Bromfield had several Boxers in his home at Malabar Farm outside Mansfield, Ohio. These dogs learned to open the French-handled doors and, so the story goes, managed to escape the house, climb in a visitor’s automobile, release the brake, and roll the car into a pond across the road.
Above all, a Boxer should be even-tempered, dignified but with a touch of impish spirit, and full of courage. Aggression, extreme shyness (not to be confused with independence), and hyperactivity are unacceptable in the breed; those who are considering a Boxer should al least check the parent dogs for these undesirable traits before even looking at the puppies.
Care and maintenance
Although the Boxer needs exercise and play to stay in shape and satisfy his nature, he can do well in an apartment with daily walks and a frolic in the park several times a week.
His short, hard coat does shed and needs some grooming with a soft brush. His coat’s natural sheen can be enhanced with occasional rubdowns with a chamois cloth. His short coat all but requires that he be a house dog in cool or cold climates, and his shortened muzzle makes hot humid weather uncomfortable for him.
Otherwise, the Boxer is an easy-keeper.
you should go to pet shop and ask what supplies you need, They’ll get it all for you.
