He's 9 weeks old, sweetest baby ever! Look at those big feet. He trips over them, its so funny!
I'm hoping he will fill the hole that Duchess left in our lives. Daisy (our other bulldog) likes him, so hopefully she will get as close to him as she was to Duchess.
He's adorable. I missed having a puppy around. Of course, I get all the bad stuff, too, chewing up EVERYTHING, potty training,etc. But its worth it. He is getting so spoiled. He will come up to us and lift his front feet up like a little baby will come up to you and lift its arms up to be picked up, LOL.

Chico...What a cute name for him. He looks pretty comfy there...like he can hardly hold his eyes open. What a darlin'....thanks for showing him off. He does look kinda spoiled already...or maybe he just knows that he's got it made.

He was sleepy in that pic, you can see where he curled up and was out a minute later, LOL! His little face is very expressive. He fights sleep, too, like a little kid, LOL! He'll keep trying to play and head over asleep standing up.
Did you guys know that people used to kill white boxers at birth?!!! They were thought to be "inferior" to the fawns and brindles.
They were also thought to be deaf and/or blind, which its been found out that that's not true.
I've actually met a breeder that said in the 70's he killed all his white boxers at birth! He said he deeply regrets it now, and was very open about it to me. He also said there are still Boxer clubs that recommend it!
I can understand them not being bred for reasons of messing up the coat colors that breeders have worked hard to establish, but why can't they go to pet home?
