A story from Dawnette about Hoshi the Boxer posted 07/15/2010 My family loves boxers. Boxers have been described as the rodeo clowns of the dog breed. After loosing our 2nd boxer to cancer at the young age of 7 we decided be careful and pick our next boxer pup from a reputable breeder. When we went to the breeder's house to look at the puppies, ask questions about the different personalities, etc., I instantly fell in love with Hoshi! Instead of being level headed, finding a pup that would fit our needs and personality I just choose the one that was the most beautiful. As we were walking out the door with our bundle of joy the breeder said "watch out she's an ankle biter." Not only was she an ankle biter she was a destroyer as well. One day my husband came home early from work and let our nine month Hoshi out of her crate. He got busy doing something and forgot about the dog. About 45 minutes later he remembered he had pup loose in the house. He found her in our guest bedroom digging into the matress. Apparently she had found an old bone and thought it needed to be buried. She dug a 6 inch deep 12 inch diameter hole in the foot of the bed. There was shredded material everywhere. Until we could afford to buy a new matress we always had a funny story to tell company right before putting them to bed...reminding them to avoid the hole at the foot of the bed.
