I have two adult male boxers. When I brought home the baby Yorkie girl, one of them played so gentle with her and it looked so cute. The other was jealous and did not play, but he never offered to hurt her and now he lets her sleep with him.

Here is a link to a picture in my album where my boxer boys are being ruled by their little sister.

We have a female boxer and two yorkies. The only thing I worried about is the boxer stepping on them, but they know to stay out from under her feet..

Thanks everyone.

I loved the pics We are going to see pups this week I will keep you updated

[bebeyorkie]

His name is "Maximus Blue" he is a white boxer 8 weeks old and weighs 12 lbs. Breeder and vet think he will be around 90 lbs. We just picked him up last Thursday.

He is very very playful. Extremely lovable and loves to cuddle

He has learned "sit" and "stay" already. He also goes potty on command yay!!!

What a cute little guy!

Boxers are awesome, use to raise them many years ago. They are fun loving animals and so gentle with small children. Yorkies have a way to take over, so your just fine with a boxer, but as somebody else said watch out for big feet and boxing legs with yorkies. Enjoy.

oh no! I need to remember NOT to show this post to my boyfriend.

He has been begging me for a boxer ever since we got Hammer.

Maximus is adorable!!!

Keep in mind that a lot of white boxers with blue eyes loose their hearing faster than most others in the breed. So, just watch for this. It could lead to potential problems. But he is absolutly adorably beautiful.

So I think unless you get a more laid back Boxer, it is possible that a ton of training will be needed, and then still they really shouldn't be allowed to play together. Just too strong...


I will have one some day.

Farrah has had the "paw on the head" experience with both a Lab and a Standard Poodle. Yikes. I was more afraid than she was. : )

I'm in love with Maximus Blue!!!! He is adorable!!!

I have a male boxer and two yorkies. Everyone gets along wonderful and my little 4 lb female rules the roost!

We had a 75 lb Boxer named Zeus for over 10 years who lived with our Yorkies. He was such a beautiful gentle dog with the Yorkies. He would often sit down with our 3 1/2 lb Belle hanging off his flews with the look of "mom, make her leave me alone". He would also lay down on his stomach to play very gently with the Yorkie babies, I have pictures of this somewhere.
Boxers are medium to large sized dogs who are goofy and sometimes very energetic. If you have small dogs like Yorkies the puppy should be bought second so that the resident Yorkies can teach him to respect them before he gets too large. Also good obedience training is a must, he has to have good manners and learn to sit and down when you tell him to (as any dog should but large dogs in particular) so they won't get too exuberant and hurt people or Yorkies. Another option is to contact a breeder to see if they have a teenager or adult Yorkie they would like to place so you don't have to deal with the wild activity of a Boxer puppy. Zeus came to live with us at 10 months old as a show dog "washout", (one testicle didn't descend). Their loss was absolutely our gain and it was wonderful to get a young dog with a little bit of his brain already in place , house trained, crate trained etc.
Boxers unfortunately have quite a bit of genetic heart problems so like anything else do your research and ask if parents have been tested for hip dysplasia and heart problems. Also, reputable Boxer breeders do not breed for white puppies as the incidence of deafness is very high. Flashy (white on neck, face, chest, feet) Boxers bred to flashy Boxers often produce these white puppies so alot of these breeders will breed fawn or brindle Boxers to a Flashy Boxer to get the white markings that are desired in the show ring without the risk of white puppies. White puppies can be registered now by AKC but the Boxer Club has in their code of ethics that these puppies must always be spayed/neutered and never bred. No reputable breeder will ever breed a white puppy but I see many BYB and puppymills using white dogs.
Sorry if I've written a "book" but Boxers are my second love (after Yorkies) and people just don't do their reseach before adopting one (just like Yorkies huh).
