I just joined! My name is Joey and I live in Wisconsin with my 8 year old bulldog Cain. We're loving the summer and looking forward to introduce a new puppy into our family soon as well.
Seems like a nice bunch of folks here, exciting to meet everyone.
Hey Stephanie, I'm not 100% sure what our new pup will be. I just love bulldogs but I've heard amazing things about boxers too. I'd love to have a boxer or a beagle.
I know you must be a little biased but I'm assuming you would suggest I go with the boxer=P Sounds like you love having them!
No contest between a boxer and beagle as for as I am concerned. Beagles are wayyyyyy too much hard work for me - can't be doing with all the sniffing everywhere and the poor/non-existent recall when they pick a scent up, not too mention the barking/howling......I have been walking a beagle for the past 3 years and I have him on a 100ft long line the whole time. He is a happy chappie though, very friendly to everyone we meet and great with other dogs.
Boxers can be challenging, head-strong, greedy, energetic, so set your ground rules and stick to them. They are so loving though - I warn you they totally think they are lap dogs! Tare also bouncey, expressive, protective and often quite hilarous in some of the things they get up too.
Couple of videos here about them both might help you make your mind up - short ad may run beforehand.
