About Us
We are a small,
new, home based Boxer Kennel
in the Bay Area of California, U.S.A.
Our hope is to breed Boxers of excellent health,
temperament and conformation for
work and/or show, but always as beloved
pets and integral parts
of their families.
It is our steadfast belief
that Boxers of the highest caliber are
world wide, and that great Boxer breeders
will draw upon the traits and genotypes of
each Boxer, not simply the country
of origin or breeding.
While the foundation of our line is from
Europe (Germany), even their breeders drew and
still draw upon all of Europe to develop their lines.
Germany sent some of their best Boxers to America
when we wanted to breed them. We eagerly
imported them for the excellent
Boxers that they were.
For this reason, we imported. Not because
there are no exceptional Boxers in the U.S.A., but
because the traits we favored were harder to pinpoint in any single line locally: The general size (medium, square); the bone and general substance; the drive; the pigment, chins, tight feet, short backs, steadycoats and wide jaws of the breed;
and lastly, the breeder contracts >g<.
Many of these traits are
viewed as the more “unrefined” elements specific
to the Boxer of Northern, Southern Europe and abroad. The
breed would be seen as “lacking in (the) elegance”
we have so carefully bred into our
American style of the breed
Still, we also found what we thought were
many beautiful, elegant Boxers in other countries as we
searched for our foundation. And yet, they have that “substance” that some say is becoming relatively obsolete in America.
But, “Isn’t the Boxer supposed to be unique
because of BOTH it’s substance and elegance?” we asked?
“Let the marriage begin” we said.
“Let us begin to combine the best we all have to offer
from all over the world for the sake of the breed. Let us open
our minds to the idea that there is, after all, an entire world full of correct Boxers with lovely qualities to consider. Let us travel full circle - back through the runway that introduced us to the breed. Let us share trade secrets for health and
longevity, substance and elegance, beauty
and brains, and together rediscover
our first love.
