They preferred to see their dogs and puppies with people they knew and trusted, and within driving distance of them. Lastly, the United States is a long way from Germany, and it was difficult to get breeders that would be willing to send a dog or puppy so far away, when they did not know us, and when they never thought they would see the dog again. They are family dogs and so it is difficult for people to part with them, especially when they are adults. Secondly, German Boxers are not usually kept as kennel dogs by their owners. That is less than is registered in ONE MONTH with the AKC! In comparison, some 25,000 German Shepherds are registered annually in Germany. Consider that there are only about 2,000 of them registered each year in Germany. There are several reasons why obtaining good German Boxers is a difficult task.įirst, there are so few of them to begin with. But it was not an easy or quick trip.įinding really exceptional German Boxers with the correct structure AND the correct working temperament and drive balance has never been an easy task. These are the things that brought us to the German Boxer. What has resulted is a dog that has a high level of trainability along with athleticism, outstanding character, and superior health. Dogs that did not meet these breeding requirements were eliminated from the breeding pool.
Additional breeding requirements were developed over the years, including evaluations for structure and temperament, and a number of health guidelines. Consisting of tests of tracking, obedience and protection work, it is still used in Germany as a breeding criteria today. To keep the breed's working qualities intact, German breeders since the early 1900s have used Schutzhund to determine an indivual dog's suitability for breeding.
European boxer registration#
Sometimes you will hear people in North America call a Boxer that has been imported from a European country other than Germany a "European Boxer", or a "Euro Boxer," but those are just made up names, and those Boxers are in fact, "German Boxers" by name in registration with the FCI. It is the official name of the breed in all FCI countries in Europe. The term "German Boxer" does not simply refer to the country of origin for our dogs. Our kennel and home are located on 250 acres in the heart of Wisconsin farm country. We bred our first German Boxer litter in 1989.
We have both been trainers and competitors since the 1980s, and have put dozens of titles on our dogs over the years, competing here in the United States and abroad. We are dedicated to advancing the character, temperament, structure and health of these wonderful dogs!
