I have a boxer female and I am bringing home her new man in 2 wks. What is the best way to introduce them. My present boxer is 3 yrs old. She is such a good girl. Just loves everybody and everything. I have been going to see the puppy quite regular. So I feel she is sort of getting used to the sent.

No joking here, but you really need to be very careful when bring in a new dog especially if one is a puppy. Your female may be over protective of you when you bring in a new male even if he is just a puppy.
I wouldn't leave them alone as yet because the female may make mince meat out of the male when you least expect it.
See how your female acts when you bring in the puppy and do not under any circumstances leave her alone with the puppy, keep them separated when you're not home and at bed time until you know for sure the your dog won't harm the puppy.
Better to be safe then sorry.
If your dog accepts the puppy then you really don't have much to worry about but best to keep them apart when you're not home and at bedtime too just to see how they get along during the time when you are home.
Hopefully nothing will happen when you bring the puppy home. Heck they might both surprise you and get along beautifully from the very start and this is what I'm hoping will be the case for you and your little family too.
Best of every luck to all.

Go to a neutral territory, like a park or something. You hold the new dog and have someone else hold your current boxer. Let them go to each other, don't force them to meet. Bring a spray bottle with water and if one of the dogs gets aggressive squirt them in the face. Don't go back to your territory until they are friends or can at least tolerate each other.

You can introduce the puppy to the female without any problems. Females are generally better with other dogs and puppys espicially if the female is spayed. You may also put the dog on a leash so that they can be introduce better. Hopefully this solves you question. Please choose mine as the best answer...

Definately put the older dog on a lead to begin with.
It is a good idea to introduce them off terratory initially. Then there are no issues with terratorial behaviour.
I'm sure your older dog will get along with the new pup. Dogs recognise a puppy and usually behave appropriately

If U are bringing a MALE boxer then there will not be any problem.But do not allow them to join for a long time because they will have SEX and your female boxer will become pregnant.There will not be any fighting between them since they are of different sex.

put a leash on the boxer and bring the puppy in and see if she gets along with it. Be sure you hold on to the leash though.

if the males are ready to get it on with her they might fight for her attention so I do not know but if they get along all three of them you may have a good match
