Likes:
I like Koda, my mom, and my dad. They are the best. I also like chewing on my cow hooves. I am still trying to warm up to Jasper, but he's still kind of grumpy.

Pet-Peeves:
I'm very timid of men. My previous owners were not that good to me but mom says I'll come around. I also don't like my ears being played with.

Favorite Toy:
My favorite toy is the rope or anything I can play tug-o-war with with Koda. I also love stuffed animals.

Favorite Food:
I love the treats mom and dad give me. I also like ice cubes.

Favorite Walk:
Anywhere I am taken.

Best Tricks:
Giving mom that very sad sad boxer look. I just walk up to her when she is sitting down and lay my head on her lap and look up at her. Gets her every time!

Arrival Story:
These people were moving and couldn't take Brandi with them. I heard about this and when we went to go see her we knew we had to have her. Her previous owners kept her outside all the time. She was not even allowed in the house. She had zero training, no socialization, didn't know her name, never had been in a vehicle, I mean nothing. The first night I brought her home she refused to come into the house after we let her outside. Each time we let her out to use the bathroom it took us at least 20-30 minutes to get her back into the house. But she's really coming around. We've had for a month now as of July 7th. She's a completely different dog. She's sooooo affectionate and loves being in the house. If anything we have a hard time getting her to go out. She's living the life of luxory now. We've still got a lot of work to do with her as far as men go. She loves my husband and he's finally gained her trust. But any other man, she's so incredibly timid of them. But we are getting her out as much as possible to get her socialized and she's going to start obiedience classes here within the next month. But we are sooooo glad she came into our live. It's great having two boxers. They both are such characters.
