Ronin, the papa

Ronin comes to us all the way from New Zealand. His owner, Helene Owen of Ronin Boxers has been fantastic to deal with in regards to bringing over some "Roni-Poni" semen to use with Porsche, and perhaps on some of my other girls.

Ronin has a very stable, outgoing temperament. Like many boxers with European ancestry, Ronin has a lot of drive but is also a big cuddle bunny.

He is a consistent producer of many of the traits that are sorely lacking in the North American boxer population. Ronin consistantly produces correct front assemblies, solid round bone, and correct toplines. He also produces significantly better than average mouths, in terms of width, straightness and tightness.

I am very excited about the potential outcome of this breeding and hope to be able to report a successful mating in a few week's time.

You can see more of Ronin and his progeny at his page at Ronin Boxers!

Porsche, the momma...



This is Porsche...you can also see lots of other photos of her on her webpage: http://www.tienlungboxers.com/girls/porsche.html

Porsche is an active girl who has lots of energy. She enjoys playing and cuddling and loves to play with other dogs outside.

She is the daughter of my UK import, Rhett, who I lost at three years of age to bacterial infection that destroyed his kidneys. Just as Rhett was a very special boy, so too is his daughter a special girl.

I am very pleased to see what Porsche will produce with paired with Ronin. Who knows? If my luck holds we may even get red puppies! :)
