First message, Dog introduction

Mike, you have some real cuties there, and it looks like the Yorkies are pretty warmed up to you and your wife already. I am hoping for updates as things progress at your house.

I am more hopful they will all get along after some of the comments. We had a boxer who died one year ago. At the same time we had a Frenchie and two Jack Russells. They all got along and used the run together. I think eventually calm will arrive.
Thanks again for all the comments. I am glad I found this forum.

I am sure they will all get along and the Yorkies will boss the Boxers around in no time Our sweet Coco just laid there and let Georgie do whatever.

I too have 30+ years of training experience with dogs, I do know that Boxers have High Prey Drive. It's task was to seize the prey and hold it until the hunters arrived. Take it slow and easy, you have two 18 months females who are still puppies themselves. Good Luck, I am sure you can do it. I too had a Jack Russell, lost her last year at the age of 18 years she was raised with a Keeshone and Irish Setter.

Pink patty,
Thanks for the note. I know all these things but it is always nice to be supported to be patient. I love these boxers but they can be hellions. I try to run them three times a day which helps. God knows when I will be able to have them sit (ha) with the Yorkies.
Mike
