This not uncommon in Boxers. My seven year male Beau had the same condition. His father before him also had it. The bad part about it is the condition creates pockets around the teeth and gums, possibly causing infections. The pockets catch hair and food among other things. My Boxer and his father had laser oral surgery to repair their gums. You may not think the condition affects them, but it does create pain. My Boxer was a new man after the surgery, even though I didn’t think it was causing him harm. He is happier and has more energy, and because it was laser surgery the recovery was quick. He has shown a difference, for the better. Brian
