nicky H Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Benson has just turned 9 years old. PLEASE DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY HIS AGE!!! Older boxers deserve a home too!! He was handed over to BDRNE as the owners child was scared of him. he is a big strong bouncy boy and certainly doesnt act 9 years old, he has the energy and strength of a young boxer. He is a dream in the house, doesnt chew or mess and can happily be left for a couple of hours. He will happily snooze most of the day, or play with his toys. Benson's only problem is he pulls like a train onlead and never does as he is told, it seems to go in one ear and out the other, but he will do anything for squeaky toys so by training him this way should help. He is being taught to walk on a halti by his foster mum and this is helping. He does need to learn some manners when it comes to doing as he is told, but with persistance and patience he will be the perfect family pet. He can be prone to a sensitive stomach, but is now on a diet of Chappie with no problems at all. Benson recently had an eye ulser, but this has now been treated and it cleared up well. He is great with kids, but probably too bouncy for young/small children. He is good with other dogs after carefull introductions. He is castrated, vaccinated and microchipped. Benson is Being fostered in Widnes, if you can offer him a home, please read the rehoming policies before applying to adopt. http://www.boxerdogrescue.co.uk/applytoadopt.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
