Find a good breeder referral by going to www.akc.org or talking to people at dog shows. This is a breed that can be very rambunctious and sometimes overprotective - you should get the best one you can!

You can also find info about the breed clubs on the akc site - they probably have a rescue group where you can get an older dog for less money.

The best breeders will be members of their breed club, promoting healthy dogs with great temperaments. They should ask you a bunch of questions to make sure their puppy will be getting a good home. If all a "breeder" seems to care about is whether your check will clear, you can be sure he won't care a week later when the pup is dying from distemper or parvo and you want your money back.
Whatever you do, DON'T go to a pet shop, a flea market or buy one sight-unseen off the Internet!!!! You'll pay top dollar for what is usually a poor quality puppy mill dog that is often sick and may have falsified registration papers. And you'll be supporting one of the cruelest industries in the country.

Search for a boxer rescue on the Internet. Also, most vets have bulletin boards that list animals for breed/for sale/for free.

No, dogs only come in one shape.
Why would you want a dog shaped like mississippi anyway?
