You should get one of these instead. Or find a dog that's a lot like one.

cats are out of the question, mostly because dogs>cats.

Yes, many breeds are predisposed to one or more various problems. Definatley do your homework so you know what you're getting into. Of course, don't let that stop you from getting the breed you want, just be aware of what you might have to deal with....aside from the obvious:

Any dog is funadmentally a device for converting your money into very bad smells.

Just get a brown one from the animal shelter. My dogs are both brown, and they're excellent. One of them lays around in the yard, but can talk. The other one has a huge head and can kill mice.

while a huge head and mouse killing capabilities would be nice, they are not necessary. thanks for the advice everyone, i am looking for a purebred dog so i'm afraid that the animal shelter will probably not have what i'd like (though i feel bad for all the puppies that end up there) does anyone have any decent breeder websites or forums that they would recommend?
>> why wouldn't you rescue?? pnut
Look up "Boxer Rescue" and your zip on interweb. Or whatever other purebred you need/want. Unwanted dogs, yes ALL KINDS of purebreds, everywhere.

That's because:
1) fucktards breed their purebred dogs because they think they can make some money, or they want puppies, aw so cuuute
2) they have no business having a dog, especially a hyper breed like a boxer, they dont know what they are getting into and decide they cant handle them.

Please rescue a purebred dog.What you dont know that 90% (yes, 1 in ten) dogs, even purebred, end up in the barrel behind animal control or otherwise homeless.

You should check out your local animal shelter anyway, because about 25% of animals there ARE purebred. Also, a lot of times there will be dogs that look purebred but may not be (but you can't tell the difference unless you're a breeder/judge/enthusiast) and they are generally healthier than their purebred counterparts.

Take a look anyway, it might work out for you. =)

If I decided to get a dog, this would definitely be it. It's an utonagan, and they're bred to be friendly and look exactly like wolves. If there is a similar breed available in your area, GET ONE.
