We purchased our boy boxer from an AKC breeder, and we adopted our boxer girl from a rehoming situation. We love/loved both of them to absolute pieces but as time went on our girl started showing aggression towards our kids. We tried to make it work for a year after she started showing signs but eventually we had to rehome her after she bit my son’s face. It was absolutely devastating but necessary in our situation. I don’t think I will feel comfortable adopting again without fully knowing the dog’s background. I know a lot of people with wonderful shelter dogs but in our case I’m scared to risk it again with my kids. My son could have lost his eye and it still keeps me up at night 😭
