i am interested in having a female boxer puppy to accompant the white female boxer that i currently have. Her name is chloé and she is six months old. I live in lancashire but would be willing to tracel if it is not too far. If anyone can help me then please contact me by e-mail at clz363@yahoo.co.uk. with thanks claire pennington.

If you already have a female boxer I would suggest you consider getting a male puppy. Some bitches can and do live happily together but, if they do ever seriously fall out it is quite likely that they will then hate each other for life and you will end up having to keep them separated or having to rehome one. A male will, 99 times out of 100, defer to a female when the chips are down.

I just don't think it is worth risking the grief that might ensue.
