Question
Hi my name is David and i just got my first boxer. He is now 12 weeks old i got him when he was 8 weeks old. I found him in the the paper but what i was wanting to know is there any way to tell that he his full blooded? The people i got him from said he was and they had the mom there but not the dad he was studed out but know im not sure he is full blooded from some of the pictures i have seen online of other boxer puppy's so if you can help it will be great thanks.

Answer
David, all you can do is ask your vet his/her opinion and contact the people you bought him from and request the information on the sire (dad).

You have every right to see the sire (dad) as you do the mother.

Contact the owners of him and request to see him and get genetic and health information on him so you can have all pertinent info about your puppy.
