    i just spoke to the breeder this morning and she said the pics she send me are:

    First two pics are actually the same litter all 4 weeks old
    Third pic is a different litter 8 weeks old

    the only male there is that small brindle in the first two pics....They are not allowing anyone to see the pups until they are 7 weeks old so at this point all i do is go by the pics and have to leave a deposit ASAP....

    i do like that brindle male, but also the fawn and white in the left 3rd pic....u bros now whats up, but should i be concerned with brindle being a bit smaller than his sisters, after all its a male and health wise the breeder only gives a 48 hour guarantee after the purchase....

    The male looks like the runt of the litter. Being a male do they usually grow to be larger than the females?

    thats what i am thinking bro, male boxer pups are usually larger in other litters i looked at so thats whats holding me back a bit, but their coat color scheme was sort of lame being all fown..........

    are you serious....that runt reminds me of myself being a small shrimp and transforming into a massive bull. The pups are not cheap and i have to consider everything, but u think he will overgrow this period...It sux becasue i canot c him in person and checkout his skeletal bone structure, but his paws do show the potential for growing.

    It's going to be hard to pick from a picture. You don't get to see their personalities.

    thats what peaces me off, they want a deposit (half the price) only at 4 weeks old and specifically said and believe me i've been asking that every time i am on the phone with them that they will not show poppies at such a young age without any shots done so don't bother coming on premises.....They are good boxer source and i may lose out on a pup to some1 else, but than again, from the pics u can only tell so much.

    i c majority of fawn boxers everywhere and wanted a bindle. The fawn ones in this litter have a nice flashy color coat though, but the brindle is not too shady either with his white markings......the dog from this litter will be the official AR.com pup I looked at various other litter of pups and this is by far the best one i saw.

    i have to go by the pics only at this point....the deposit i make is the pop i get without looking or going back on my decision...The entire litter is on the market for 3 days straight now and there is another person already purchased one of the fawn females strictly for breeding, don't know which one, but they went by the pics alone.....In three weeks all the pups will be sold without a doubt and i just need to make a final decision soon....They called me to notify that a deposit has been made, but for brindle.....

    Then don't take any of the puppies. One of the best ways to pick a puppy is by taking the mother to the other side of the room and then watching their reaction. The most alert puppy is the one who will realise the mother is gone and run to her first, and that's the one you should pick. You can't do that from a picture. Other than that, you should find out if cutting the ears is still leagal where you live. I know that in Israel, and I'm pretty sure in other countries too, any type of costmetic surgery on animals has been recently made illeagal because of the pain it causes the animal. So anything like taking out a cat's nails, cutting dogs' ears etc. might not be permitted if you want to do it.

    i'm obsessed with boxers but have to wait til i'm out of school to buy one but i would definitely go with the brindle, they are absolutely beautiful............but you'll be happy with any boxer you go with, they are very loving, loyal dogs.

    just called them up and i'll be putting down a deposit on two pups (brindle and fawn/white in the 2nd pic last one of the left) within 3 weeks as soon as someone would be interested in one of them they will notify me and than i'll have to pick before seeing the pups otherwise i am in a safe zone so far and the breeder assures me that the brindle is of the right size otherwise they would not be selling it....i still think he is slightly smaller than normal IMO.....hope the next 3 weeks will put some more meat and hight on him otherwise its the fawn girl.

    You would be surprised at just how different two pups of the same litter can turn out..Height and weight wise. My friend and I both bought boxers 16 months ago from a local breeder..His weighs 55 lbs soaken wet and mine is 95lbs and built like a tank

    He was the largest of the litter..His head and paws were much larger than the other 9 pups. We also feed our dogs differently, his gets dry dog food and mine gets dry dog food and beef... Lots of beef!
    If it is size that you are looking for pay close attention to the head and the paws and that should get you what you want.

    by my experience with dogs the smallest once grows to be the biggest and nicest dog around. Like my rottweiler she was the smallest one around but grew up to be a city champion 2 time gold medal winner

    yuo can tell if they're gonna be huge by how much the skin will stretch on them, if they have a lot of extra skin, then they will tend to be bigger.

    The runts are the best to get bc since they are the runt of the litter they naturally survive better. Typically they will fend off disease better and grow to be very healthy, assuming they are taken care of properly as pups.
