"Roxy is a very sweet Boxapoint. She is 3 months old in this picture. She enjoys meeting new people, and is great with kids, but she has a habit of jumping up on them as they enter the house. She loves her squeaky toys, playing fetch in the yard, and being around calm dogs. She dislikes other dogs that try to jump on her and lick her. She is, for the most part, house broken but she will have an occasional accident. She has a daily one mile walk, and after that she's always ready for a nice long nap."

Butkus the Boxapoint hybrid as a puppy. "This is Butkus. We adopted him at a local shelter when he was 8 weeks old. He was born on Valentine's Day. We were told his mom was a purebred Boxer and the father was a Pointer. He was in a litter of 3. Him, another male, and a female. I picked him from the other two because he was the only one not jumping or nipping. He kind of just sat there looking at me while his brother and sister showered me with licks and nips. I picked him up after and instantly felt a connection and we fell in love with him in a only a few seconds. He was 15 lbs, 9 oz. when we took him home at 8 weeks old. Three months later at his 3rd check-up at the vet, he weighed in at 53 lbs."

Butkus the Boxapoint hybrid as a puppy. "He is a good dog - loving, caring, loyal BUT still very much a puppy! We're working with him and he's doing well with commands - sit, stay, no bite. We're working on "come" still. He does do well with treats and "leave it" and "take it". He's very energetic and definitely is much more calm when he has a daily walk. However, jumping is definitely a behavior that we need to STOP! He is house trained and he's learned to walk over to the door and stand there but he doesn't make noise so we watch him when he's inside; if he's at the door, he needs to do "business". We began crate training at 3 months and that has made a big difference. He's in the crate every night. He travels well, loves the car and is good with our kids. We have 2 cats also and he's very curious and playful but not aggressive towards them. We absolutely love him."
