Our story began in 2005 with our first boxer companion 'Ali' aka "Stinkers". He was a flashy fawn that lived up to his name. He was a surprise Christmas gift for my wife that quickly injected a sense of joy, excitement, and adventure into our small apartment at the time. Ali would go on to show us how family-oriented Boxers are. He was a part of the move into our first house, as well as adjusting to the new smells and sensitivities of bringing our first child home. Ultimately he was a welcoming companion to guests and other pets while maintaining his protective instinct. In short, he was a complete family member. This is why we fell in love with the Boxer breed and began learning the characteristics, best practices and breed standards.
