[PBO]

I've owned a few dogs & have learned a few hard lessons along the way

Rescued dogs are often poorly socialised, abused animals that may never be 'brought back' to a point where they behave normally or predictably. I doubt I'd help out a poor pooch again...better to have them from a puppy & be responsible for the outcome, rather than DIY doggy renovations

ClodMaxx, I always though boxers were at the lower end of dog IQ?
