We have retired from breeding/showing Boxers, after ten years. We've been fortunate to have had spectacular dogs.

"Striker" our first show dog, was the 1998 American Boxer Club National Specialty Winners Dog and as well the Futurity First Place winner. By 2000 he was one of the Top 20 boxers in the US with only a few months as a special. He produced top-winning boxers in the US, Canada and overseas.

He was the most wonderful companion we could have ever hoped for and lived a happy life with us until he was over 12 years old.

My sweet girl, Aimee, was a double Regional Show winner and is a Ch. in the US and Canada. She is nearly 12 now and still a happy girl.

We kept two from a Striker/Aimee litter from 2001, and one of those girls went on to win five consecutive shows including four majors.

So, for a time we had FIVE gorgeous Boxers running the house! Now we are down to three, and a Boston Terrier rescue who is a hoot!

It was incredible and wonderful, however we're glad to be at the all dogs retired phase! (: Breeding and raising litters is a much tougher job than most people realize and showing and finishing even great dogs, is an expensive hobby.
