Tiffany and
Tabitha at our first dog show |
I acquired my first
Boxer
in 1996 for my birthday, her name was Tiffany. It was the best gift I
could have ever given to myself. Tiffany was a flashy fawn girl who I
fell in love with at first sight. I have learned so much since that day
and I am still learning 10 years later. My husband, Scott, a confirmed
"cat person" soon developed a love and passion for the breed as
well. (He even has his own two that will sneak into bed and snuggle
with him.)
Tiffany and I
together experienced the areas of exciting world of purebred dog
ownership. I have dabbled in conformation showing, and obedience. Over the years I continue to educate myself
about this wonderful breed. I have had a few dogs since Tiffany, but I
certainly owe my love of the breed and all that it can provide a family,
companionship, playmate, guardian, and a sort of court jester.
I have a small home
based kennel in Enid, Oklahoma, striving to improve the breed and produce
great loving companions. I carefully plan
every breeding, attempting to breed for quality vs. quantity. I believe that the overall health of the prospective
breeding stock should come first, I then concentrate on the beauty, the
brains and the brawn. The Boxer is a family loving dog that maintains
their playful puppy personalities for their whole life.
To learn more
about the breed, read about it at the American Kennel Club website
http://www.akc.org/breeds/boxers/index.cfm
or visit the American Boxer Club at
www.americanboxerclub.org
. As for books, I have found only one that gives detailed information on
what possible health issues to look for in the Boxer breed,
Boxers
from Animal Planet. When searching for any breed as a new member of
your family, it is important to research and learn as much as possible
about the breed, the good along with the bad.
Anyone
having questions about the Boxer breed is always welcome
contact me and
if I am not able to answer it, I will find someone who can.
I hope you enjoy your journey with us and
meeting our dogs. |
