[QUOTE="donna723, post: 267093, member: 1883"] I woud definitely have him neutered ASAP! There are waaaay too many unwanted dogs being euthanized in shelters these days to be breeding more! I'll spare you my 'backyard breeders' speech, but breeding dogs is NOT a good way to make money. A really responsible breeder who does all the proper health testing and vet care usually just breaks even. And Lisa is right about him possibly being hard to manage if he remains unneutered. He doesn't need to be roaming the neighborhood fathering more litters of puppies, and unneutered males run a risk of testicular cancer as they get older. I think you will LOVE having a Boxer though. I have Bostons and a lot of people who have Bostons also have Boxers ... they are very much like BIG Bostons. They have the same personality type, the same good temperment, the same clownish behavior and high energy, just in a much bigger package. They're usually just big, sweet, loveable goofballs! And PLEASE don't put him through the ordeal of having his ears 'clipped'. It's very painful for them and it's not done as much now as it used to be. Good luck with him! He sounds like a good one!
