| Welcome to Alum Creek Kennels
Our family purchased its first AKC registered boxer in January of
1997. Abbie was a very special boxer who changed our lives forever.
One year later we purchased another female of nearly the exact same
bloodlines. We were hooked! Boxers have found a special place in our hearts that we feel
can’t be replaced by any other breed. Our interest and love for this breed
has matured us into the kennel owners that we are
today.
Our
boxers are predominately bred for ourselves and other pet owners. Our
objective is to both preserve and improve the conformation and temperment of the boxer
breed. We are very particular in our
breeding stock and insist on producing boxers that fit the traditional
standard of temperament and appearance. With each cross we make, we intend
to produce strong, healthy boxers that have a wide muscular chest, blocky
head, big undercut jaw and a nice coat. Color is the bottom of our list. However we do avoid producing white boxers. All of our boxers are AKC registered.
All of our boxers are pets.
We limit the number of dogs in our kennel so we have time for personal
interaction with each dog. Some of our dogs are inside companions and some
are outside dogs. Nevertheless, all of our boxers get the love they deserve
and plenty of exercise. We get a lot of complements on our fenced exercise
areas and kennel facilities.
We do not mass produce pups
and are we not a puppy mill. We generally produce 3-4 litters per year. We
feel this is as much responsibility as we can manage. It is a lot of work
caring for this many boxers!
A
complete line of ancestry can be supplied on all of our dogs. We are very
careful in studying pedigrees when breeding and we supply a short pedigree
with every pup. Our boxers do have distant champion bloodlines. However, we do not
show our boxers in AKC competition. Shows are not really of interest to us.
Champions mentioned in our pedigrees are just references to bloodlines.
Therefore, Alum Creek Kennels respectfully does not mis-use the term
"Champion" or "German" bloodlines. We will not use another breeders titles
or efforts to promote or misrepresent our dogs. "Champion" boxers are
dogs that their owners helped to earn their individual title. "German" boxers are those that have been
directly imported. Importing the most pure boxers from Germany is
very expensive and few breeders in the US are themselves importing.
Unfortunately many others are trying to cash in on other peoples hard work
and dedication. Review
the background on us or any other breeder that you are considering to see
the scope of their breeding program.
Every mating changes the appearance and characteristics of a bloodline!
Please review our dogs
from the menu at the left. We have made every effort to supply visitors with
pictures and descriptions on each boxer. We feel it is very important for
you to read about and see each of your prospective puppies parents. If you
have any more questions or would like to arrange to visit our kennel and
meet our dogs, please don't hesitate to call.
