again i thank all of your answers, but i ask this to those against breeding and who love and own a pet? if it was not for a dog breeder how do you think you would have gotten your pet???? yes there is many un-wanted puppies that are laid down, and that is sad, but like i wrote if not for the breeder where i got my rex i would be rex-less. i was looking for a certain breed, from a certain background which i found. and now i am trying to do someone else that favor by providing my dogs services! yes dogs are laid down everyday, but from what i remember i was on a waiting list for my pup and once all was said his entire litter was sold before even being born. ????????

I have no issues with people breeding dogs as long as they do it responsibly. Responsibly means that you have your dog checked for all the health issues he may pass on to his pups.
Look at this: http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=726924#animal
It lists the hip scores and elbow clearance as well as this dog's thyroid. His CERF is no longer valid because its more than a year old (the dog tragically died in an airline accident). I know his heart was also certified clear.
These are tests you should be doing with your male prior to breeding him. Especially the heart as Boxers can have issues with them. You should talk to his breeder and learn which bloodlines work best with his pedigree and what issues run in his bloodlines.
You can have a fantastic dog.. but unless you obtain his credentials, he should not be bred.

Has he had ALL the health checks?
Hips--OFAed? Thyroid checked?
What is the family health history of BOTH parents?
Temperment checked?
How does he measure up against breed standard?
Have you ever shown him in the ring? Results?
Have you obedience trained him? How did he do?
For purebred breedings, only the top 10% should EVER be bred. Why procreate an inferior animal with potential health problems.
Where will the puppies go? More importantly, where will a puppy with a health problem go?
I learned from 10 years of breeding experience.
You can sell the best product for good money. Less than that, it's difficult to sell the animals at all to a responsible home.
I know this sounds cold hearted but it's true.
When I sold a SHOW pup for $1-2K, I was pretty sure that it would receive good care. I required references. When I sold neutered/spayed pups as pets for $2-300, I wasn't so sure.
That's why I'm out of the business. Found dogs with my tatoos in shelters or rescue.
Unless your male is an excellent example of the breeed, get it neutered.

Your dog must be at least 2 years old, registered with the AKC, and have finished his AKC championship in the conformation ring, then received all the genetic testing and health clearances that are available for the breed. (OFA, EYES, HIPS, PATELLAS, ETC). Any responsible breeder will require that before considering using him as stud. The show ring is the proving ground for breeding quality, so a dog that does not achieve it's championship is not of a quality to be bred. After he is finished, you will be approached by breeders who have admired him in the ring, studied his pedigree and determined that the mating of your dog with their female will produce puppies that constitute a viable contribution to the breed. You will never need to advertise or seek anyone out.

Why don't you go back to the breeder you got him from and see what's involved in proving how good your dog is- how he would place in shows, his test scores, etc. If the breeder doesn't think he's good enough to show, then he's not good enough to breed, regardless of what a great pet he is. Great temperaments are not enough to justify reproduction. It must be a complete package. A philosophy of 'he's good enough for me- why not everyone else' is exactly why there are so many homeless dogs in the world.
Your dog may indeed be better than most, but until you show him and prove it, he should not be used for breeding.

Is your dog a show dog? Are you sure that he physically is a pristine example of what every boxer on earth should look like? If the answer is no, then you shouldn't breed your dog.
If the answer is yes, the best place to advertise your dog for stud services is with the AKC. This way other potential dog breeders can contact you to set something up. But, if you have never shown your dog, then you probably won't be able to sell your dog out easily, because it will just be your word that your dog is up to par with the rest of all the boxers out there.
Good luck.

His OFA number is??? Anyone you want to use him will ask.
Boxers have heart problems- have you rented a monotor had had that checked? that so important the Boxer breeder in my obedience club actually bought one.
Can you bord the female or will you let the females owner bord your male?
The usual method of "advertising" is to take the dog out to shows, and trials. Females owners are always on the lookout for a potential mate so they will approach you. Failing that every breed has breed newsletters.

Is your dog registered through the AKC? If not don't breed if so you can go through their online system. Make sure you have your pedigree papers on hand along with veterinary records, x-ray evaluates, joint evaluates, ect. The breeder of the female will want to see them and make copies. If you don't have these the breeder will probably laugh at you or give you an earful on responsible breeding.

Step 1.) Make sure it is AKC registered and not a garbage registry. Step 2.) Get it a champion title. Step 3.) Wait until it is 2 years of age and get all proper genetic testing. If everything checks out, find an owner of an AKC champion titled boxer with no defects to mate your male to.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU8Wd
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.
