I am currently contemplating the names listed in the poll and below (but would welcome any other suggestions):

Diesel
Tonka
Rhett
Muhammad (Mo for short)
Jaeger

Thank you SO much for your help!!! I can't wait to bring him home in another 3 weeks, once he's old enough!!!

Hi, welcome to Boxerworld, your first post needs to be made in the introduction forums

I apologize if I'm way off here but...That is a cute puppy but I don't think that is a boxer, possibly a mix though??? Have you checked this breeders references? Have you done your homework on boxers and breeders? If you are looking for a well bred, healthy boxer I'm not sure this is the best puppy. Best wishes.

I would definitely say that puppy is a mix of some sort .. however .. I love the name Jaeger!!

He is gorgeous but definetely a mix, possibly Rotti or Dobie mix?
I like the name Tonka

What a cutie. He will be interesting to see full grown. He has a great head. My vote for names would be Mo.

He is adorable, but unlikely full blood boxer? How old is he? All names sound good(not of fan of Muhammed, he just doesn't look like a MO). I'd give him a rugged name though!

what papers would I need to prove he's purebred? She says he's CKC registered... and will have the paperwork for me when I pick him up...

I am afraid that with that colouring there is no way that he is a purebred boxer. It just doesn't exist in the breed. There must be some other breed in there somewhere. He looks very boxerlike, so I would think that there is a lot of boxer in there. I am sure this is not what you wanted to hear. If you haven't already paid for him, it would be best to walk away. It is very unlikely that any of the appropriate heath testing has been done. Health testing is very important in boxers as there are so many diseases than can be passed down from the parents. I would certainly ask for proof if they say that it has been done. If your heart is set on this puppy, I would ask for a reduction in price as he is not a purebred puppy and you shouldn't be paying for on.

As far as the CKC registration, I would assume that it stands for the Continental Kennel club. It is basically a registry for puppy mills and back yard breeders. I don't believe much proof of pedigree is required. What was the colouring of the other puppies like. It would be interested to see what they were like.
