meet the pup.

We are adding a new addition to the family, A Puppy! That's right. We want one that can grow up with the boys and be a sweet member to our ever loving and growing family.

We are getting a Boxer. They are suppose to be an amazing dog with children, very loyal and highly energetic, a great guard dog, low maintenance with grooming and over all, a pretty healthy bread. We have been reading up on and talking about this for a while, going over pros and cons. And making sure Jason is willing to pick up poo. Picking a name will be another issue.

He will not come home for a while, as he is only a few days old. He will come from an AKC registered breeder. I know that rescuing would of been a better choice, but we were both worried about bringing a large dog into the family that we had no knowledge of his past or health. I feel better about the choice to introduce a puppy into the family.

Just wanted you all to be the first to know!

Hugs, The Dake Family

Yay! A puppy! There is nothing cuter than a puppy, besides a baby... Is it a girl puppt or a boy puppy? I can't wait until you bring it home so I can look at more and more pictures of a snuggly puppy!

AWESOME!!

If you have any questions about boxers - email me! I love them. Few things I would recommend getting:
- a kennel (they do best with crate training)
- a vet that knows about boxers (they can have some serious health issues)
- patience (they are rambuncious puppies).
