I wonder if my Boxer dog will have any bob tail puppies
It was never our intention that Lexi would have a litter but as time went on it was an injustice to the breed that the genes that Lexi carried should not be passed on. This dog looks fantastic with her chestnut coat, white socks and perfect bob tail. She is also calm and is the perfect companion for all our family. Can you believe this girl has never scratched the door or destroyed furniture and has spent her puppy hood at our bridal boutique and also still comes in to work daily at our Wedding Boutique in Dalston Carlisle.

The first thing was to check out her bobtail and see if we can find another dog that has a bob.
This was my first big mistake. The Bobtail that has been bred into boxers has derived from cross breeding Welsh Corgies and Boxers and then back again to Boxer. Lexi is 8th Generation and another dog with a bobtail would be too close to her in the bloodline to even consider such a mating.
I was concerned about this so I contacted Mr Bruce Cattanach at http://www.steynmere.co.uk/ who was the the gentleman who first produced the first Bobtails and whoes dogs are present in my girls Pedigree tree. Bruce's website has all the information needed to understand the bobtails but one thing is for certain and that we must mate our Lexi with a natural tail dog. This does two things. First thing is that the breed (bobtail) when mating each generation will become more true. The second thing is, that there will be a mix of pups, some with long and some with bobs. The Bob Gene will move down the line but if it does not, then I believe it is gone for good, Will my Boxer dog have bobtail puppies I wonder ?
