I got a white and red female boxer. Does anyone know if it is possible to breed her or not as she is white. I thought as long as the male I breed her with was red, that would be ok. Both her parents was red.

Any colour dog will not guarantee you getting true colour likeness in puppies,a lot of breeders will drown white boxers as they do not sell as well as brindle,yea its safe to breed her and get brindle puppies personally I prefer white boxers,if you get a true white pup I'll take it of your hands

Until you're sure, you shouldn't breed her at all - educate yourself. Take her to some local dog shows and ask Boxer judges or handlers what they think. Go to www.akc.org and look up Boxer breeders and ask them. The best breeders will show their dogs in breed, obedience and/or field work - and they will be members of a dog club that promotes breeding healthy, good-tempered dogs.

If you decide to breed her, you may be setting yourself up for more problems than you know! A female doesn't need to be bred to satisfy her emotional needs - or yours. There is an awful lot that goes into breeding dogs right - are you sure you're ready? Dogs are not always easy whelpers - do you know how to tell if the pups need to be delivered by an expensive emergency c-section? Do you know how to clear their airways and get them breathing if they don't start on their own? Do you know how to build a proper whelping box with a pig-rail, so that none of the pups can be crushed behind or under their mom? Do you know what eclampsia is? If you don't, your dog could die. Do you know how to tell when all the pups have been born? If there are any left inside her, they could die and so could she. Do you know where the nearest emergency clinic is? Dogs often deliver in the middle of the night. If there are any problems with the whelping, it may cost you $100 just to walk in the clinic's door - then all the other costs on top of that.

Before you breed, you have to have your vet do a health exam and fecal tests and blood tests for intestinal worms and heartworm to be sure her health is good. Then make sure your dog and the male you select (who should be a champion - your pups will be worth more!) are tested for Brucellosis - a canine VD.

If you breed her to a top quality male from an experienced breeder, they can help you with advice and may even show up to help you deliver the pups - but usually you're on your own. They can also advise you as to whether or not your female is good enough to breed and that she has no major faults that she could pass on. Expect to pay at least the sale price of one pup for your stud fee.
If you just want a pup to keep for yourself, it's a lot easier (and cheaper) to buy one than to breed your own. The pups are going to need food and shots and worming and lots of care for eight weeks. If the mother rejects them, guess who is going to be up twice a night and four times a day hand feeding every pup? Have you got the time and energy?

You won't make much money breeding dogs if you're doing it right! One of my breeder friends once calculated that she made less than $1.85 per hour after expenses in a litter with no problems. I bred one litter myself (from champion dogs!), but now I'd rather go and buy the pup I want.

Please don't breed from a white boxer. Breeders have taken pains to try to breed out the deafness gene, but it is carried by white dogs.
If your boxer has a white ear with a blue eye on that side, she is probably deaf in that ear. If she is white coated she carries the gene.
She will pass the gene on to all her pups. Breeding her to a red dog is irresponsible; it may allow the deafness gene to appear among red dogs in the future.
If you wanted to breed you should not have bought a white boxer.

I would get her spayed. The boxer bloodline is full of inbreds due to badly planned pairings that result in hyper, high strung dogs. What is your main goal in breeding? It should be to better the genetics of the breed. That means you need to understand genetics, have your girl tested, select the proper mate, etc etc... there are so many dogs (including boxers) that are stuck in shelters, another litter of pups will just add to the problem.

How can you even CONCIDER such a TERRIBLE THING???
You don't know enough about the breed to even be able to tell the COLOR DISQUALIFICATIONS!!! AT LEAST,go read the BREED STANDARD!!!
Boxers are NOT allowed to be RED-they MAY BE either FAWN OR BRINDLE!!! More than 1/3 white is also a MAJOR/DISQUALIFYING FAULT!!

SPAY NOW!! DO NOT *EVER* BREED!

you have to have her hearing tested and HD tested in this breed. Be responsible. Predominantly white dogs are more likely to be deaf, sp you would be better breeding her to a brindle boxer as they have less of the white gene in them.

i don't be conscious of roughly purple rotts however the concern with the white boxers is a recessive gene recent in ninety 9% of them. Their occurrence of blindess and deafness if rather severe, even in spite of the indisputable fact that some, as yours, do no longer recent the concern, in specific situations they advance those defects after the two or 3 years of age. good luck along with your canine.

sometimes if you breed a dog that has another color the puppies might have a very beautiful colorful coat.
