We are a small hobby kennel, currently living in Eastern
Kansas, having just arrived in June of 2008. My husband Dan, is a
career Army officer, he is currently stationed at Fort Leavenworth. The Army
has so many plans for our family, from sending my husband overseas to moving
every few years. We never know exactly what is coming, but we meet each
challenge with a hope to learn even more. We have 4 fur kids, and couldn't
ask for more from them all. We have not been "entertained" by Boxers for
very long, we bought our first Boxer shortly after we were married in 1999.
My husband and I are members of the Boxer Club of San Fernando Valley, I
recently served as the treasurer for the club for 2 years, and am currently
their web mistress. I have been very pleased to have been a member of the Tanana Valley Kennel Club and the Midnight Sun Boxer Club in Alaska as well.
We do not breed very often, but when we do, we aim to keep the health and
well being of our cherished dogs at the forefront of our minds. My goal for
our Boxer futures, is to breed healthy, smart Boxers, with correct structure with
the best temperaments for the show ring as well as the home. Though we focus primarily on my show prospects and
show dogs, we do keep in contact, the best way we can, with all of my puppies
and their families. We update the web pages fairly often with pictures of
the
puppies and their families as time allows. We also enjoy learning more
about Boxers, breeding, training and showing and enjoy meeting new people
and sharing our experiences and even a few training tips to those that want
to learn more.

Our first Boxer was Scout, Alaskan Naarii, CGC. Scout is a real
clown, true to his breed!
He is always looking for trouble, and has something to "say" about
everything in his life. In his little mind, We never can feed him
enough, or on time, and I am always sitting too close to Dan! He keeps us
young, that is all I can say. Scout is the top dog in the house and is
always the first to entertain us with his antics. Scout has two qualifying legs in obedience in
the U.S. with the American Kennel Club (AKC), and two qualifying legs in Canada with the
Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), I
hope that he will get his Companion Dog (C.D.) title one of these days.
I have been very happy to have finished one dog myself, AKC CH. Avalon's
Baccarat of Victory, CD, RN, CGC, TT. Bred by Daniel Buchwald DVM and
Norra Hansen of Avalon Boxers. He was my first show dog and a
wonderful training companion. He has taught me so much about the Boxer
World, I never thought possible. I trained Beau myself and in a few
shorts months was able to attain, with Beau at my side, his Companion Dog
Title, completing those requirements at the Summerfest shows, and his Rally Novice title
at the Irwindale shows. Though he is retired from the breed
ring, I have high hopes of him continuing on with his obedience training,
and obtaining his CDX.
Beau has been a great gentleman and my dutiful guardian on our walks around
the neighborhood, with is stern looks, I have no fear with him by my side.
Our foundation Bitch, Tara, C-Era Simone, CGC, TT, was the absolute light of
my eye. She had so much style and grace, that really was a joy to watch her
move. Unfortunately, her headpiece never matured the way I had hoped. She
was retired from the breed ring, and made me several beautiful puppies in
the whelping box with
Beau. Tara will always be referred to as my "butterfly girl", she
always found so much entertainment in the little things - kept me on my
toes, I never knew what was going to cause her the next immense amount of
entertainment. Tara is no longer living in our home, she has since been placed
in the home of a lovely family in Las Vegas, Nevada, and finally has what
she always wanted, kids to play with.
Our next dog is Mark, CH. FarMore's Authentic Mark, RN, CGC, TT. Mark is the love of
my life - aside from my husband Dan of course! Mark is the product of Beau
and Tara's first breeding. He is a very flashy fawn male with many of
Beau and Tara's finest points. Mark is very showy, and was an absolute
dream to train and a joy to show. Some dogs are just born to be show dogs, and that is
truly my Markie. Mark was shown by myself and by Cheryl Cates of
Encore Boxers.
I put Mark's first several points and his last point on him, while
Cheryl handled him to absolute perfection to the majors.
I am forever grateful to Cheryl and her sportsmanship both in and out of the
ring, a true sportsman for the breed and the sport of dog showing. Mark is now mostly retired from the breed
ring, he has now moved on to attaining his obedience and rally titles. Mark
received his Rally Novice title in July 2007 - with very limited showing and
his absolute enthusiasm to please me, he was able to get his 3 legs in quick
succession at the Summerfest shows at the Seaside Park in California, in
full view of the Pacific Ocean.
The newest Boxer to grace our home is Legacy - Encore
Anomar Legacy. Legacy is a plain brindle bitch that has a stunning
pedigree and a wonderful team of women to back her up. We can't say enough
about Cheryl Cates of
Encore Boxers and Joanne Hutchins
of Anomor Boxers, and am pleased that they have allowed this young lady to
come and live an Army life! Legacy has been taking some time to mature, and
we think it is about time that she hit the Kansas and surrounding areas show
rings in the summer/fall of 2008.
Well now you have met the Boxers, and learned a bit about us. We hope
you enjoy your visit at the website and please drop us a line if you have
any questions.
