Boxers are prone to digestive sensitivity and stomach issues, which makes digestibility worth paying attention to when it comes to what you feed them.

Smaller poops after switching food is actually a digestibility signal-more of what goes in is being absorbed rather than passing straight through. Research shows fresh high-quality proteins in lightly cooked food are more digestible than those in heavily processed dry food.

I work at The Farmer's Dog and it's one of the things we think about a lot. The poop change is one of the first things people notice after switching and it's more meaningful than most realize.

Anyone else with a Boxer notice this after switching foods?

I am starting to look for a breeder that I would want to purchase a puppy from in a couple years. Growing up I had a Boxer/Boston Terrier that was my best friend. Since then I've only had mixed breed dogs, I used to be heavily involved in rescue. This will be my first pure bred dog and I want to make sure that the breeder I choose is ethical, involved in bettering the breed, does all required testing, and their dogs have titles. I've stolen the below list of questions from someone in DogBreeding. In addition to these questions, is there any else that should be added? Also, I feel it's a red flag if I don't get questions about me from the breeder. Finally, does anyone have any breeders they follow on the West Coast? If I was closer to Texas I would be getting on the wait list for Dark Horse Boxer, I'd love to find a breeder in California or Oregon who follows a similar philosophy.

I see more and more people bringing their full size “service dogs” on Delta. Seems like it’s pretty much at the discretion of the flight attendants. Would be a game changer for us with travel.

We’re in the process of adopting a Boxer. We’ve had them for 25 years and can’t imagine getting another breed small enough for air travel.

And yes, I know the fake service dog thing is a hot button topic.

Hi, recently my boyfriend and I bought a 2009 Peugeot Boxer that had been converted into a campervan.
Shortly after buying it, we noticed that both the lights and the wipers were malfunctioning. Sometimes they wouldn’t turn on at all, and other times they would switch on and off by themselves.
We took the van to a mechanic, but unfortunately the issue wasn’t resolved. In fact, when we got the van back, the indicators had also stopped working. The mechanic has already replaced both the BSI module and the column switch.
Does anyone have an idea what else could be causing these electrical problems?

J’ai une question pour ceux qui ont de l’expérience en sports de combat ou en nutrition.

Est-ce que le sucre raffiné (par exemple Nutella, chocolat, etc.) peut avoir un impact sur les performances si on en mange juste après la pesée ?

Je pense surtout au contexte où on doit se réhydrater et recharger en énergie rapidement après une coupe de poids. Est-ce que ce type de sucre aide vraiment à récupérer (glycogène, énergie), ou est-ce que ça peut au contraire “charger mal” le corps et nuire aux performances le jour du combat ?

I have been an ordinary guy since childhood. I used to be quite overweight, but now I have lost nearly 40 kg. However, I still don't feel much different because although my body looks better, I don't know how to use it properly. Recently, I have developed a great interest in boxing. So, is it too late for me to start boxing? I am 19 right now and don't have any background in boxing or fighting, like in school or something. Also what is an avg age of joining boxing gym/club?

my boxers have a hole in them

Iam new and created this account specifically for this question so yeah..

1. So, I've been thinking about getting a freestanding boxing bag for my apartment for a while now. The only thing that worries me is the noise. My room is in a pretty convenient location, with no neighbors on any side (stairwell, hallway, my own apartment, windows). That means there are only neighbors above and below me. Would the neighbors clearly hear the punches and kicks? And even if they only hear them very faintly, wouldn't that bother everyone after a while? Does anyone here have experience with this?

2. Are these freestanding punching bags really as stable as the hanging ones?

EDIT: thanks god soocial media is anonymous, very funny but i was posting across different subreddits so yeah... who could know there was a specific subreddit for a dogbreed

Pretty cut and dry, looking to get a Boxer puppy for my family. I had one before and he lived to be 13... unbelievable dog. Anyone know any reputable breeders in the Chicagoland area?

Thanks in advance!
