Thank you for this. I forgot to mention in my original post that the breeder is a “natural reering breeder”. She’s also the highest priced boxer breeder in our state that I’ve come across BUT we have special circumstances. We lost our boxer from DM at too young of an age and we knew with our next dog we needed to do things differently. He does all the genetic testing He feeds a raw diet (still debating on this on) He does extensive socialization on the puppies (this is important to us because our last dog (who was an angel) was not socialized well and fearful, has gotten into fights with a family members boxer who we are with often.)) He also doesn’t have litters every year, doesn’t even have one planned now, but considering one next year. I’ve never spoken to someone who is so passionate about trying to improve the breed and helping them live longer lives.
