POINTS OF INTEREST
Our boxers are meant for all who have come to love the Boxer breed and can appreciate the time and effort that is required to create these magnificent dogs.
Our dogs are for families who have experienced losing their previous boxers way too soon to Cancer. Our dogs have been bred for those who are seeking a solid, stable, and loyal family protector. We have spent years breeding and searching for the absolute best dogs from around the World and with over 30 years of boxer experience, we have created the absolute best boxers in temperament, conformation and type so you won't have to gamble on your next boxer's health.
In contrast, If you are looking for just a "boxer?" or a just "a Dog?", then I suggest not to waste your time here? There are many backyard breeders, pet shops, on-line shops and boxer rescues that you can easily find just a dog that will suit your needs and budget.
On the other hand, If you are you looking for a genetically sound boxer with a purposefully planned pedigree and strong temperament then look no further. If you understand that a quality dog is an investment that will pay dividends in the future by fewer trips to the veterinarian , then please proceed reading and then contacting us.

Health & Safety 1. Over the years, we have learned that it's best not to dock our puppy's tails. It is very painful, and the procedure is done with no anesthesia between 2-4 days old. There is also substantial research which supports the negatives of docking & cropping of ears. I would be happy to discuss those findings in detail over the phone. We have been proudly offering natural boxers since 2001. Please do not ask us to dock a puppy for you, this is non-negotiable.
Our puppies are allowed to go home at 8 weeks of age, they will have had their health check up from our veterinarian, and come with their 1st vaccination, treated for parasites, and will be AKC registered with proof of vet visit.

Do Your Research 2. We highly recommend that you go over our site, in order to learn more about our dogs. We also ask you to research other breeders as well for comparison.
It is important to understand breeders' goal for producing puppies. Ask questions about training, temperament, origins of their dogs, how they handle a claim against their health guarantee, feeding of their stock, their quality assurances, and ask for lots and lots of pictures. Our Boxers are precious to us and each one is a work of art, therefore, we give extra priority to interested parties who make the effort of calling and speaking to us personally over the phone. 
|
Training Options 3. Our training options have become popular with our new families purchasing puppies. We understand that life is busy and not everyone has the expertise and time to devote to training.
We offer many options starting with basic training which covers; crate training, the "Come Here" command, house breaking, and no jumping and biting. To Advance Principles of Obedience; Off-leash control, Sit, Stand, Down, Stay. Protection/Security Training: Intro to bite work, and advanced obedience, jumping, and tracking work. Please call us to discuss schedule and pricing.

Commonly Asked Questions?
What Diseases are Boxers Prone To Having?Problem 1: Hip and/or Elbow Dysplasia:
Hip and elbow dysplasia are two of the most common skeletal diseases seen in dogs. They are similar diseases in which either the hip or elbow joint has grown abnormally or is misshapen. The abnormal shape prevents the joints and sockets from adequately meeting one another, resulting in rubbing and grinding instead of sliding smoothly. Though the main complication with hip dysplasia is joint instability, the abnormalities present in elbow dysplasia often result in pieces of bone and/or cartilage breaking loose and irritating the joint tissues. Over time, the rubbing from dysplasia can cause a variety of issues such as pain, lameness, and secondary osteoarthritis. Surgery can be done to fix the joint if diagnosed before the onset of arthritis. If you are rescuing a Boxer, have her checked out by a vet to see if she has or is prone to getting dysplasia, so you know what she will be able to handle regarding activities and exercise.
Our Response:
Over time, we have weeded out genetically weak dogs through rigorous training activity. Dogs who lack the ability to scale jumps, climb, or don't have the agility to meet our training standards are cut from our breeding program. It is very similar to natural selection in the wild animal kingdom. Of course, there are many who will disagree with this approach, but for 30 years this natural method has served us well. Using simple logic, ask yourself what tests were available 50 or 75 years ago? The answer is NONE, the breeders of old used natural methods based on performance in the working field. We use criteria from different working dog sports to test and evaluate our dogs' health and temperament.
Problem 2: Dilated Cardiomyopathy:
Dilated Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that is characterized by the heart muscles inability to contract properly, which ultimately leads to a decrease in blood pumping to the heart. When a dog has cardiomyopathy both the heart chambers become enlarged from having to work harder to get blood through. The extra stress on the heart from the restricted blood flow often leads to congestive heart failure (CHF). The major symptoms of DCM include lethargy, anorexia, rapid breathing, shortness of breath, coughing, a swollen abdomen, and temporary loss of consciousness.
Our Response:
Once again, pay attention to the above symptoms? Dogs like this would not come close to meeting our criteria for breeding and this becomes evident through our training process. Breeders who breed such dogs unwittingly do not know their dogs' weaknesses because they don't train, many hobby breeders suffer from a term called "kennel blindness". It's when breeders decide to breed their dogs based on sentiment or affection for their dogs and not for the betterment of the breed.
Problem 3 Sub-Aortic Stenosis:
Sub-Aortic Stenosis is an inherited heart condition that is most common in larger breed dogs and is present at birth. It occurs when a dog is born with an abnormally narrow aortic valve, which controls blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. The narrowing makes it difficult for blood to flow properly through the heart and can cause fainting and even sudden death. Your vet can detect it and prescribe the proper treatment.
Our Response:
Again, same as above.
Problem 4 Arrhythmogenic:
Right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an inherited condition that begins when normal muscle tissue in the heart ventricle is replaced by fatty tissue. This disturbs the heart’s electrical system and causes a heart arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). In mild cases the arrhythmia will cause no symptoms, but the condition can also lead to fainting spells and sudden death.
Our Response to Problems 3 & 4:
Once again, the symptoms which characterize these defects would not allow the dogs to perform in our training programs, thus signalling to us that there is something wrong with the dog. Many if not all medical issues that plague pure bred dogs can rectified with good nutrition and breeding practices that involve some form of high level training. Yet, these diseases are allowed to propagate through out the gene pool due poor breeding practices by inexperienced and lazy breeders.
Problem 5 Cancer:
The Boxer is predisposed to mast cell tumors, an immune system cancer; lymphoma, a group of cancers that originate in white blood cells; skin cancer; and brain tumors.
Our Response to Problem 5:
It is my firm belief as well experience that Cancer can be stalled and eliminated from the genome through excellent feeding practices. We emphasize a diet of fresh raw meat and limited carbohydrate intake which comes from commercial dry dog foods. Breeds such as the boxer which have been severely mutated in appearance, (bronchiaphalic in nature) are weak in both their phenotype and geno-type. Many dogs who suffer from cancer are a result of being genetically damaged through generations of harmful factors; over vaccinating through veterinarian recommendations , and poor feeding practices which weaken the immune system and have great influence over the progeny for generations to come. Our kennel has gone through great lengths to strengthen our bloodlines with a strong natural feeding regiment which has kept Cancer at bay. Many of our dogs pass of natural causes with an average life span being 13 years.
Problem 6 Degenerative myelopathy:
Degenerative Myelopathy is a degenerative genetic disorder that causes progressive paralysis beginning with the hind legs. There is no cure and it can progress very quickly after its onset.
Other Problems:
Gastric dilatation-volvulus or bloat, a sudden, painful and life-threatening swelling and twisting of the abdomen; hypothyroidism, a thyroid malfunction that results in low hormone production and could cause obesity, low energy, and a brittle coat; and colitis, an inflammation of the large intestine.
*All-white Boxers are also prone to deafness.
