hi i was wondering how old do puppies have to be until they cna have there first injections? are boxer dog puppies known to chew furniture and where can i get a puppie boxer dog from?

My vet injects puppies at 9 and then 12 weeks.Suggest you phone your local vet and check with them.Sorry can't help you with boxer puppies hopefully someone else will.

Hi

Re the chwing question, as far as I knkow all puppies can chew furniture, and how! My pup is at it at the moment so I know!!

If you really love your furniture and are really concerned maybe ask, are you sure you want a pup? They mess and wee and chew for ages!!! You need ooooodles of patience!

How will you feel if you come down one morning and your dining table looks a bit rickety bacause your pup has eaten so much of it?!

However most onwers compromise, provide chews and toys, teach the pup what to chew and what not, and there is a spray available I beleive it is called Bitter Apple which can put them off chewing (spray the furniture not the pup!).

I think the short answer is, prepare yourself!!! :)

our puppies found the Body Shop's Dewberry spray particularly distasteful, we spray our furniture with
it with favourable results.

hi, different vets give the 1st vacc at different ages, usually between 8 and 10 weeks. I prefer to do mine at 8 weeks, 2nd one at 12 weeks, then you can get them out in the world and get them socialised - used to strangers, other dogs and traffic , travelling etc. which is really important to start as young as possible.
All puppies will chew anything they can get their little teeth into, many people use a wire crate for their puppies to use as their bed, leaving it open in the day time and with the door shut last thing at night, when they have been fed for the last time earlier in the evening and have been out to relieve themselves and have had a good romp about, so they are ready to sleep when you go to bed. It has to be last thing at night though, say not before 11pm, and then carried outside to "go" first thing in the morning, say 7am. You will have a clean undamaged house and house training will be quicker. they very soon get used to them, especially if they are fed in there and encouraged to have their daytime naps inside it. Mine look upon their crate as "home" and dont view it as a "prison", as we might.Crates, must not be over used, but they are very handy.
I suggest you get a copy of "The Doglopedia" by Jim Evans and Kay White, the dog owners bible. Also a puppy behaviour/training book, perhaps by Ian Dunbar, I like his methods very much and find they work well. You have to learn to "think like a puppy" to understand what they do and why they do it. Boxers are very lively dogs, when adult need a lot of exersise to stay "sane".
Make sure you buy your puppy who does all the necessary hereditary tests for Boxers, as I beleive there is a heart problem in the breed, amongst others. If you go to the main part of this site (click on the Champdogs" Logo at the bottom of the page) and you can search for reputable breeders who health-test their breeding stock, testing is really important. Good luck.

I use a cage aswell. Just when they are puppies and they are never in there too long and None of my dogs has chewed any of the furniture except from the corners of the rugs but the garden was destroyed. My dogs find the cage a safe place especially when they are at shows.
