So, my partner and I are now the proud parents of two baby boxer puppies. We ran accross a backyard breeder that was selling puppies at a very low cost, basically, to whomever wanted them. No screening, no care for who they are going to. We were very concerned about the conditions the puppies were in, and decided we would buy the females so they didn't end up on the breeder circuit. The area where this guy lives is famous for backyard breeders. And they end up selling the females to each other so they can continue to breed them.
My partner went to go look at them, and they are only SIX weeks old. It's illegal to sell puppies in California before 8 weeks old, and G (my partner) tried to convince him to keep them for another 2 weeks, but this guy wasn't having it. G and I talked on the phone for about 30 minutes trying to decide what to do, and in the end, we decided that we would buy them anyway. If we didn't, someone else was going to and these beautiful dogs would end up being puppy factories.
So, now, along with our 105 pound rottweiler and our 57 pound pittie/dalmation mix, we have two pretty boxer girls.
We are going to keep them both for now, get some weight on them, get them both spayed as soon as possible, and then most likely, rehome one of them.
For now though... we are a four dog household. Holy crap.
