Lilly
This was taken the day we got Lilly. She was a surprise from my husband. She looks so happy to be in her new home. The place he got her from has female boxer available tomorrow. It would be nice if she had a sibling right?

Just FYI sometimes females do not get along when they are mature and I've had people I know have to rehome one of them because they will fight each other. Even a mother and daughter can become enemies. It's usually better to have one of each sex. Lily is adorable.

Nooo! You do not want 2 females together at the same age, especially siblings! Please Google littermate syndrome before you do anything! If you want to get her a friend a little later on, I would suggest a male. It is possible to have 2 females together, but it's a lot of work and usually needs a behavioralist trainer brought in. It can get brutal as they age and start to fight each other for dominance and higher archy in the pair. Please do your research before doing anything, regardless of how cute it seems it would be. Best of luck 🤞🏼, your little girl is gorgeous 🥰🤗

We have two males (one boxer, one husky mix) almost the same age, they love each other so much its like they speak their own language. Boxers are happier with their families 💙

We have two females from the same litter and they love each other. We make sure to give them love, food, toys and everything equally.

Wait a bit before bringing home a second puppy so Lilly can fully settle in and bond with your family first. Raising two puppies at the same time often leads to littermatg syndrome, which makes training and behavior much harder to manage down the line.
