You should definitely give them their separate space as soon as possible (i.e. own beds & own toys). Let them figure out who is in charge of what. You have to expect some growling and close calls initially as Neo is establishing dominance over the new 'contender'.

I think you're doing it right, just get those beds ASAP.

I have two boxers as well. Male first (now 5 years old) then female (when the male was 3) my male was reacting like yours growling and unhappy but now i cannot get them to leave each other alone they even sleep,and make out, on the same bed, which is starting to look ridiculous as they dont fit on it together.

My male is not as depressed as he used to be and has someone to pass the time with while i'm at work for 10+ hours of the day. He will love you for ever.

If I may just suggest one thing. GET HER FIXED ASAP.

Best of luck! Gorgeous dogs

Boxers are prone to uterine problems. My girl died of one at 10 & 1/2 years old. The symptoms don't usually present themselves until it's too late.
