My Boxer puppy was bitten by another dog this weekend while at the barn. Doesn’t anyone else think there’s a problem with a dog that bites with the intent of doing harm? Kira is only a puppy; a 60 pound puppy, but a puppy none the less.
She has had plenty of dogs “school” her by mouthing her or head pinning her on the ground. Her Sheppard friend Lexi likes to grab her leg and pull it out from under her when she starts playing ruff. This is completely acceptable to me…but I understand dog behavior. I think my extensive study on canine behaviorism is being extremely underestimated.

The fact that Kira had at least 25 pounds on this other dog helps prove that she could not have been the aggressive one…otherwise poor little Crunch might not have walked away.
Perhaps I should enroll Kira in a doggie-self defense class.
In hind-site I wish she had lived up to everyone’s idea that Boxers are dangerous dogs because they look a little like pit bulls; at least the bite wounds on her face wouldn’t have been for nothing. My champion-bloodline purebred baby should probably stick to dogs that don’t maul her…I don’t think the AKC will recognize boxers whose ears are cropped by the mouths of other dogs. Is that a new breed standard?
M suggested she take Keigo to the barn with me next weekend, maybe next to a 175 pound Tosa Inu Kira won't look so vicious.

That's terrible what happened to Kira! She's so harmless; although I've heard her growl at strangers walking in the woods behind your apartment. I wouldn't want to be the person to break into your house!
