I just thought I’d add my pup Sookie to the rescue lineup at Balloon Juice. She was born May 31st and I adopted her through Austin Boxer Rescue.

Her hobbies include chewing everything, eating and peeing.

Such a cute puppy and she has the exact same hobbies as mine!

“Goggie socks!” says the toddler on my lap.

She looks happy. And brindle!

More pics of this one please, she’s a cutie ;)
Sputnik_Sweetheart
Adorable! Boxers are such great dogs. I second the request for more pics.

Now that’s a great way to start the day! What a sweet puppy — looks like she knows how lucky she is.
My sweet beagle sitting next to me wants to remind her to ask for lots of SNEKS!

Puppy!
What a cutie.

What a lovely puppy. I’d like to know more about boxers. I’ve never known one. Could someone who knows them well tell me the pros and cons of the breed?
Annie
I love Sookie :)

Oh my, a smile, a face, to melt anyone’s heart! And she sounds like a well-rounded pup, also, too. She has her priorities straight.

@Josie: Boxers are intensely personable dogs, who get very attached to their people. They are bright AND stubborn. They really know what is best!
They can be problematical with other dogs; most breeders recommend getting another, opposite sex, boxer for best results. Good socialization when young can help that; a puppy coming into an existing pack will probably try to be Pack Leader, but that’s only a problem if you have another strong Alpha type.
They have a lot of muscles, and need to get rowdiness out of their system on a regular basis. They also have an wonderful set of grumbly, snorty, and ridiculous vocalizations so you know where they stand on any issue.
And you will know.
These are not goofball dogs. They were police and guard dogs back in the day, and morons fought them in pits. But they have huge hearts of pure gold.
Look out for health problems; they have some genetic baggage and need lots of fat and protein to avoid digestive troubles.
But most Boxer-exposed people become Boxer fans. I grew up with them.

Another cute baby animal.

@Josie:
First, I have to say that Snookie is the cutest cutie cute doggie ever!
Second, I have several friends with boxers and they adore them. Very good personalities, a bit territorial and not particularly great with other breeds, but sweet and expressive and loyal and full of energy (that can be good and bad, depending on how you roll). If I was going to adopt and walked into a shelter and saw one, I probably would not be able to resist based on the boxers with which I’ve been acquainted. I have found them to be funny, personality-wise, and affectionate.

Okay, I usually cruise on by the animal posts – not because I don’t like animals! – but because I’m here for the political discussions.
But that is the damn cutest puppy I think I’ve ever seen!

Sookie (not SNOOKIE!) is my girl and she is wonderful. She is smart, kind and funny. While her mother was a full Boxer, nobody knows what daddy was. I’m guessing Lab based on her jowls and body and the appearance of many of her littermates.
I think Boxers are one of the best breeds, but the important thing, in my book, is to find a dog that needs a home and then provide that home. I already have two Boxers (1 that waspoorly bred and one that is a mix ) and have fostered over 40 Boxers for ABR.
Boxers are great family dogs and I can’t recommend them enough. That said, they are a high energy dog. If you don’t have the time to spend with them don’t be surprised if they get a little rowdy (and destructive.)
Josie
@werebear and geg6 – Thanks for the information. I know stubborn. I have an aging Akbash right now and am baby sitting my son’s pug. I am starting to love the funny face on the pug, but I would want a bigger dog for my own. Sounds like not a good mix with my big dog for now, but maybe something to think about later.
tesslibrarian
What a face! That’s one of the best puppy smiles I’ve ever seen!
@Werebear: I’m also partial to brindles. They’re like the torties of the dog world, so I guess that makes sense. Both are just so beautiful.
Dugglebogey
That is a face only everybody in the world could love.
Comrade Darkness
Another hobby appears to be showing off her tongue. Which she has every right to be proud of.
She dreams of toddlers eating ice cream, I bet.
ruemara
PUPPEH! That is all.
Betty Cracker
I’ve got two boxers, and they are the most wonderful dogs. One has coloring similar to your cute pup. I hope you and Sookie enjoy a long friendship!

Nothing is cuter than that. Nothing.

Oh babee — what a doll!!!!
Smooch smooch, hug hug

I love boxers. They look so badass, but I’ve never met one that wasn’t a sweetheart.
bobbo
Adorable!

D’aww! She looks like she could be the sister of the mastiff pup my family got when I was seven. Same goofy face and oversized tongue!

Thanks for the few, brief seconds in my day of complete peace and joy.

@Jman:
The exact same hobbies as yours or your puppy?
Please advise. If the former, then remind me to hide the shoes and slippers before you visit.
Sookie is a real beauty. (I can tell she doesn’t know what happened on Tuesday.)
annia
What a lovely little girl. Lucky she picked you.
bystander
I had no idea a Boxer (cross – whatever) puppy could be this cute. She ought to be declared illegal until she’s 2.

Awwwww! Cuuuuuute baby!
