This paper presents puppy mortality and postmortem findings for a birth cohort of boxer puppies born in the Netherlands between January 1994 and March 1995. In all, 457 litters were registered, of which 414 (90-6 per cent) were involved in the study. The 414 litters contained 2629 puppies, a mean litter size of 6-4 puppies. Of the 2629 puppies 571 (21-7 per cent) died or were euthanased before they were weaned at 50 days of age; there were 147 (25-7 per cent) stillbirths; 102 (17-9 per cent) were euthanased because they were white; 269 (47-1 per cent) of the puppies died during the first 21 days of life and 53 (9-3 per cent) puppies died between days 22 and 50. The cause of death or the reason for euthanasia was assessed by either the breed...
