Braddock (dad) - Was born 12/14/2004 near St. Paul, Minnesota - you might notice an accent to his bark.  We decided to obtain Braddock from back east to try and get as much genetic variation as possible.  Braddock comes from some championship bloodlines, but he does not talk about it much.  Braddock weighs around 87 lbs and is very fit.   The doctor was impressed with his social skills.  He likes to spend his time running, playing and spending time with Mandy and Tessa.  Braddock loves to be around our 2 year old son, and any children who happen by our home.  Braddock has been known to steal toys and bring him his bone.  Our son often walks over to him, sometimes grabs his lips or takes his bone.   Braddock just waits and will either move or go and get his bone.  Braddock graduated from puppy school and likes to show off what he has learned.  

Mandy (mom)  -was born on 11/26/2002 in the Kennewick, Washington - Mandy is much more serious than Braddock, but often goes off to play out in the yard with him. Mandy came into our lives also as a puppy and also attended puppy school and graduated.  Mandy will talk at length about all of her responsibilities.  She has been with our family the longest and knows a few more tricks than Braddock.  Mandy has been trained to use the restroom on command, which is helpful on those cold mornings and on road trips.  This is Mandy's third litter.  She has been a very good mother, hardly leaving the puppies at all in the past two litters.  She spends most of her time feeding and cleaning them.  Mandy is quick on her feet at learning new tricks or playing tricks on Braddock.  Mandy is much smaller than Braddock at only around 60 pounds, we usually end up with a mix of medium size dogs and larger boxers.

Tessa

Tessa - -joined the family in September 2008.  This picture was taken in April 2009.  She is not related to either Braddock or Mandy.  Tessa has Champion bloodlines as well as conformation and most importantly the characteristics we desire in a Boxer.  For now we are training her, with positive re-enforcement (yes she actually likes doggy bones, a first for us).  Tessa is very playful and like most boxers, everything in the mouth, so we have lots of dog bones around the house for her to chew on.  Tessa has also gone to dog school and has graduated.  Levi our son enjoys playing with her because she has a strong chase instinct and chases anything Levi will throw.

General info about Boxers

Having a boxers is a lot like having a 2 year old around the house.  Boxers are a short hair breed that are very social, and do not do well if not socialized on a regular basis.  Boxers need lots of love and attention.  Boxer puppies also need puppy school.  Buyers of our puppies proving they have completed a community based obedience class with our puppies, will be rewarded with a cash incentive ( See Cash incentive for details).
