How old is a boxer when they lose their legs?

Age of onset is typically between 7 and 14 years old. This often begins with muscle weakness and lack of coordination of the hind legs. The dog may stumble or have an awkward gait. It’s common for dogs to ‘knuckle over’ or drag their rear paws. As this progresses, the rear legs begin to buckle until the point of paralysis and complete loss of use.

How did Roscoe the Boxer get his tummy back?

Roscoe’s tummy wasn’t up for a brisk ride in a little German sports car, so a stop on the highway was needed to get his paws back underneath him.

Today, the docking of the Boxer’s tail continues to be done for health and cosmetic reasons. They contend that dogs use their tails to communicate with other dogs-as well as people. So a dog without a tail might be less able to convey fear, aggression, playfulness, and other emotions.
