I breed Boxers because I love them
and want to share these beautiful, spirited, fun
loving, animals with others. Boondocks Boxers
is NOT a puppy mill. Our dogs live with and
are members of our family. I take great pride
in providing well bred and healthy puppies that will
be cherished members of your family.
When
I started breeding boxers, I did my best to search
out respectable breeders to get good healthy lines
started. My first "healthy" female,
Mercedes, was bought from a "reputable" show breeder
in Texas. She had an incredible pedigree
and was absolutely gorgeous. But, Mercedes
had severe colitis and a deadly heart condition. She
stayed with us and we did all possible to keep
her comfortable until she died less than one year
later.
My next 3 "healthy" females
were purchased from a "reputable" breeder
in Oklahoma. At
their vet check, 2 were found to have heart worms,
and one had severe hip dysplasia. She was
given away as a pet to a nice family. The
other died less than a year later, and the one
that was actually healthy is now spayed and still
lives with us.
After these terrible experiences,
and the valuable lessons learned, I vowed
be different. I am proud to be an honorable
and honest breeder. I work
hard to ensure the physical and genetic health of
each and every one of my dogs. I breed for
sound and healthy animals. I
strive to breed puppies that are genetically sound,
well socialized, and physically healthy. I
will NEVER knowingly sell an inferior or ill puppy.
But dogs are living creatures and things
do happen that are beyond the control of we humans
despite all our efforts. If you purchase a
puppy that, despite good care and required veterinary
care and exams, becomes ill or is found to have a
congenital problem contact me immediately! I
will work with you to find a mutually positive solution.
I will gladly provide references on
request.
