Smile Soon to be mum

Hi everyone,

Finally, I am registered on this site! Been reading all your posts for weeks and learning A LOT about owning a beloved boxer.
We haven't brough her/him home yet but have a breeder and we're going to choose one next weekend - SO excited!! - but also apprehensive. When I lived in the UK I owned a bulldog whom I adored. Unfortunately he died from heat stroke. Devastating. So, as you can guess, I'm nervous about getting a boxer.
I'm most concerned about feeding. My bull was on barf. I want to feed the boxer part human grade kibble/part raw.
Would love to have any advice from experienced owners, with feeding and COST of feeding a puppy each month. Also, so we can budget in the future, cost of feeding a full grown boxer (worst case scenario - 70lbs dog).

Thanks and I can't wait to share photos!
