Well, his family had some bad stuff come up and needed an immediate home for him. Long story short they signed him over to me and we have a new family member.
Meet Winston!
Or as I like to call him, Sir Winston Wigglebutt. :)
Now we have three nubtailed wigglebutts.
It's been a little tense with two territorial males who have to allow a new big dumb puppy into their pack. But so far it's gone quite well, really.
I'm not sure how big he'll end up. He's 8 months old and weighs 84 lbs. I think that might be about as big as a male boxer gets, but his other half can get up to 120.
I grew up with my grandma's super sweet boxer dog, so I have a soft spot for them. But I don't know much about hot to motivate the bulldog types, and he needs some basic training. He knows how to sit but I don't know if he knows much else. He walks pretty well on a leash but pulls sometimes. Maybe we'll have some obedience classes in our future. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't seem like a bad dog at all. So far he's been very well behaved.
Funny how these things work out.

Evan really good dogs can benefit from obedience lessons. Case in point- 2 110 pound labradors who would never intentionally hurt a soul, but who could easily throw an adult down the stairs with just a bump of one big fat butt. Especially when they get to wriggling and bouncing around.
That is so sweet that you gave him a home. The energy of a boxer with the bulk of a bulldog? Wheww! That is going to be awesome!
Oh, he is super cute!
I grew up with Boxers, I love them and he is so cute!
