Your Boxer’s personalised genetic information book forms the basis of your pet’s health care and general wellness program. A summary of the book contents is provided below: Chapter 1: Ancestral genetics (3 pages) General Breed Description: The Boxer is a well built, squarish, muscular dog with a somewhat short, blocky head that is perfectly proportioned to the body. Originally, Boxers had docked tails and cropped ears, however, unnecessary cosmetic surgery such as this is now banned in Australia and many other parts of the world… History: The Boxer originated in Germany in the late 19th century and is thought to descend from the Bullenbeisser (“bull biter”) breed and Old English Bulldogs. Bull biting at markets was then a common practice as it was believed that it tenderized meat… Breed Temperament and Behaviour: The Boxer is loving and faithful to its family and can be very playful and fun-loving. Intelligent and energetic, the Boxer has great strength and can have a reputation for being headstrong... Requirements/Needs: The Boxer requires excellent training and good socialization, with plenty of interactive exercise with its owner... Best Suited for: The Boxer gets along well with children and is suited to families of all types and ages… Chapter 2: Genetic Disease (7 pages) This section contains a detailed description of the 10 most significant diseases particularly common to the Boxer. Information includes screening for, diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. Cancer It is strongly suspected that Boxers have a genetic predisposition to some forms of Cancer, with a UK study reporting that almost 40% of all deaths in breed were due to cancer… Boxer Cardiomyopathy This disease can be expressed in different ways, with some dogs developing the disease earlier than others, and some dogs with the mutation not developing the disease at all. It is characterized by dilation of the heart with weak, thin, heart muscle… Chapter 3: Caring for your puppy (3 pages) This chapter provides you with a lifetime personalised wellness program for your Boxer with a recommended vet visit schedule by age. Your vet can work through this schedule with you to create the most appropriate preventative and protective approach specifically for your Boxer… Chapter 4: Behaviour and training (4 pages) Dogs are very social animals, and your Boxer puppy needs to be indoors with the family from the start. There is no such thing as a “good outdoor dog”. Boxer puppies need to learn how to behave around different animals and people from a young age. This is called socialisation, and it is essential to prevent your puppy growing up to have problems with nervousness and aggression… Chapter 5: Games (8 pages) Just like us, puppies and dogs will get bored doing the same thing every day. You will soon learn that there are certain types of games that your dog enjoys more than others – for example, terriers often love to dig, while collies and working dogs will run all day… Chapter 6: Nutrition (11 pages) Good nutrition is essential for your dog to have a healthy, happy life. It is critical that your Boxer receives the correct amounts of energy, protein, fatty acids, carbohydrates and trace minerals and nutrients for growth as well as maintenance of a healthy body and brain. Nutrition is also vital to a dog’s ability to think clearly, as thinking requires mental energy and the correct amino acid balance for the maintenance of normal brain chemistry... Chapter 7: Dental health (1 page) You may have heard some advice about keeping your dog’s teeth clean. Many people have many different opinions on this topic. The best way to care for your Boxer’s teeth and oral health is to manually clean his teeth. This is not as weird as it sounds, and if you start when your puppy is young, is generally not hard to do...
