As a Breeder and a person that deeply
believes in the health of our dogs, I have offered to rent my personal
Holter to individuals that are looking to diagnose heart problems, or are
doing the suggested tests for a potential breeding in the future.
If you are interested in using the FarMore
Boxers Holter, please
email me for
information regarding available rental dates. I generally respond back via email within
48 hours, if you don't hear from me, please try again - sometimes emails make into
the spam folder. When
emailing, please include the dates that you would like to use the Holter as
well as the number of kits that you will need. Rentals are for 10 days,
which will allow 4 dogs to be tested, 5 if you are well prepared. I use Alba
Medical services and have been very happy with the turnaround time, customer
services, and
quality of the product. To help with the testing process, I do include
detailed instructions for setting up the Holter, and placement of the
electrode pads and proper hook up of the leads. I offer the7 lead hook
up and a snazzy blue
Hawaiian fleece shirt, this shirt will typically only fit Boxer sized dogs
and intended to protect the leads and Holter monitor while the dog is
monitored for the required 24 hour test.

We estimate that we can accommodate
approximately two Holter rentals per month. If we have all ready
scheduled two rentals for a particular month, I will be happy to put you on
a waiting list. As is customary with any reservation, they are subject to
being cancelled or delayed, by no fault of my own. At which time those on the
waiting list will be contacted for rental dates. I will endeavor to
accommodate everyone that requests the Holter including emergencies.
I do replace my leads when needed, and also
send the Holter to a professional service team for its yearly maintenance -
at those times of the year, the Holter will not be available. I will
post to this page when the Holter is being serviced.
Dr Daniela Rosenstreich of
APEX BOXERS has graciously allowed me to link to her site, an alternate way
to hook up the Holter. A way that can make it easier for our show dogs
to not be ostracized in the ring for their shaved marks or odd circular
hair disturbances. I hope that you find it useful. Please check it out
here.

Dr Kathryn M. Meurs and her team have found a gene
linked to ARVC-1!
Check out this
link
for further information. There is still much research that must
be done and will continue to be done - but this is a great step
in the future and health of our Boxers! Holter testing will
still be necessary, but now we can know which dogs are affected,
clear, or will be carriers of this dreadful disease - so that we
can have yet another tool in our collective "breeders toolbox"
to breed healthier dogs.

Testimonials from some of my
satisfied clients - thanks so much! - Amber |

"Amber and FarMore Boxers’ Holter rental is
terrific! She ships on time and the instructions for use are easy to
follow, even for someone like me, who had never holtered a dog before.
And the fleece jacket! The colors brighten everything and the
comments by other people are always wonderful to hear—no one feels
sorry for a dog in a colorful fleece.
It’s also easy to put on the dog and comfortable for the dog to wear.
All in all, Amber made renting, using and getting the Holter results a
straightforward activity. I’m actually looking forward to holtering
my dog again next year.

"I
would like to thank you for being so helpful when my dog decided
that the wires were evil. Also the instruction were very easy to
follow for a first timer. If I need to rent the monitor again I will
definitely call you. I will refer people to you willingly. Everything
about my experience was also very prompt."
Thank you
