I don't think you've come across as uneducated, I think there is just much more to learn. We all started out somewhere and I can honestly say that I've learned more from the people on this forum in the past 7 years I've been a member, than I've learned from any vet or person off the street. I grew up with dogs as well, so there's just much to gain from taking a step back and learning from the group. I am curious if you've taken a look at the links I 'provided in your other thread about your Rebel? That is just a small step in willing to learn more.
As for your limitations, I apologize if my question came off offensive. As I said, I'm not trying to offend and tones can be thwarted one way or another. However, also understand that I do not know you and what your limitations are. I was simply just curious if whelping a litter of puppies would be stressful on you - perhaps that's how I should have put it or perhaps that's none of my business. But, when I think of a litter being born and know many who have had lots of problems with them, I know I'd not be able to handle it. lol But again, I apologize if there was any implication other than just hoping that your disease wouldn't hold back from proper care of a litter.
With regards to what you desire, that's completely up to you as well. However, that does not look like today's boxer and I wouldn't call it one. Yes, they all start somewhere and it takes those dogs to get to the breed we love.
I ask that you realize that many people come on here frequently with the desire to breed, so we hear the same thing quite a bit -
I want one like my Sammy
I want my child to experience the circle of birth
I want to make money
I just love the boxer so much, why not
My friends love my dog and they want one
...the list actually goes on and on. Many people come here and think it's as easy as taking a boy and a girl and letting them go to down over dinner and a movie (lol) and then the puppies come and the momma takes care of them and then I sell them. It's our goal to help others understand that it's far more than that. Way more than that! I have the utmost respect for the breeders on this forum and for what they put into their breeding program - the research, the studies, the evaluations by professional judges, the health certifications, traveling miles and miles across the country to find the proper match for their dog/bitch, hoping they get the puppy they want out of the litter, being disappointed when they dont, or having a litter of stillborns, or having a litter of all females when they wanted a male, or having a litter of all whites which can't be bred so it's no use to their breeding program and they have to find pet homes, or the follow-up tests and vet checks once the pups are here to make sure that all are healthy, nursing the pups that are weaker and get kicked off of momma, supplements to ensure their immune systems are increased so they will survive.
Again, the list goes on and on. I continue to encourage you to read through the forum, read through the American Boxer Club links I've provided, ask some of our breeders what they've put into breeding their dogs. I think you'd be surprised by how much there really is to learn about breeding properly, whelping, and making sure you find the best homes for those pups.
I do truly apologize if you've found my questions offensive or out of line, but do understand I have a passion for this breed as well and am only looking out for them as I've learned.....if we don't fight for them, nobody will.

And to go back to your original question about Rebel, since we are getting off topic - I still think he is a very nice pet.
