Answers for you
1) YES, we health test. By holter, echo/doppler,
thyroid, DM, ARVC DNA, OFA Hips.
2) YES, our Boxers are kept indoors, we do have outdoor kennels, but
they are not their primary home (they are in kennel in good weather if I
am working a long day or on a day trip)
3) NO, we do NOT sell our puppies to puppy mills, BYB, Pet stores, or
brokers. We take our homes seriously, and expect quality homes
that will love our Boxer babies for their lifetime, if they cannot love
them for the Boxers lifetime, we expect notification and first refusal
of taking the Boxer back.
4) NO, we are not actively involved in rescue any longer, we have
rescued a few Boxers in the past, but with young children that can be
dangerous. I do support rescues in some of my purchases and
donations, and recommend rescues to homes that can handle a rescue
Boxer.
5) NO, absolutely NOT will we place a dog under only breeding terms.
In the past we have done so, and the dog has been misbred or taken
advantage of.
6) YES, our Boxer puppies are well socialized with people, animals, and
many noises
7) YES, we co-own all our Boxers. We have made the mistake
in the past of NOT doing this, and the dog was taken advantage of.
Pets and show prospects are co-owned until the new homes obligation is
filled (depending on contract).
8) YES, we sell ALL our puppies on contracts. Pets are to be
sterilized, show prospects are co-owned unless otherwise agreed upon.

What to expect from us as a breeder
1) We will provide hard copies of
all health reports on the Sire and Dam of the Boxer puppy you are
purchasing.
2) We will ALWAYS be available to talk about your Boxer, and if you ever
need help, we will happily help in any way we can.
3) Expect us to contact you for updates on your Boxer, we care how
they are doing, and what they are doing, so we will check up on them
from time to time.
4) We take breeding seriously, and research each breeding,
sometimes to irritation of others, but we want to do our best to provide
you with a happy healthy Boxer; however, we cannot foresee or prevent
every illness or disease, but we will be there to help you if one ever
arises!
5) We do not hide things, if we know something about our lines, we will
be forthcoming with it. We keep ongoing records of each of our
dogs, and their progeny (when we can) and will gladly share all our
information with our Puppy owners.
6) Expect us to be serious about the fact that our puppies are not to be
given away, sold, or otherwise disposed of for any reason. We want
to be kept "in the loop" on the goings on of our Boxer babies, and if
something arises, we expect notification. We also expect to never
hear of one of our Boxer babies in a rescue, shelter, etc......
