Meet the breeder

I'm Jenna L., the breeder behind Balltown Boxers located in Sherrill, IA. We are a small boxer breeder located in the tri-state area. We have 5 boxers who are our family pets & are also tested + have specific characteristics that we like to see in the breed. Puppies are well socialized - they are with children & adults from birth on and get to play with everyone daily!

Q. & A. with Jenna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Jenna actually thought about buying goats in her early 20s and her dad talked her into getting dogs instead b/c she always loved dogs growing up!! ... Enter our very first boxer, Allie into our lives. Joey came into the picture shortly after and gets all credit for our boxers being the well behaved leash trained beauties that they are. Jenna is the dog cuddler & puppy care expert :D

  • What makes your program special?

    We are small. Our dogs are tested, but they are our pets first. They never leave us. We regularly have our "grandma" and "grandpa" dogs hanging out with puppies and we love having the huge age range :D All of our boxers (Pups & Adults) have access to a huge fenced in yard all day, every day. They can run & play together and it is so fun to watch them charge around and play together!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in a kennel on my property.

    Jenna at Balltown Boxers was amazing to work with! Always answered quickly with any questions and always sent pictures when I needed to see my new puppy! Was a lovely drive to Iowa for pickup and fun to see Snorkie’s siblings and her mom! Would highly recommend Jenna and also the Good Dog app was very easy and helpful! Thanks again Jenna! Hope her siblings are adjusting as well as Snorkie❣️❣️Also forgot she’s up to 18.5 lbs of fun and love❣️

    I got “Little Debbie” now know as Marnie in early September from FiFi & Dozers litter. This is my first time getting a dog from a breeder and Jenna answered my overload of questions quickly and thoughtfully before even getting on the list. She was amazing at updates through the pregnancy and also once the puppies were born. I always looked forward to my weekly updates!! Bringing Marnie home has been such an amazing experience. We got a blanket with her old homes scents and we put it in her crate when we first got home - crate training has been a breeze! She took to potty training so well and we are now working on early manners and skills. Nail cutting has been a good experience and Marnie is already used to it from that early desensitization they did. I can’t say enough amazing things about my experience. This is my first boxer, but my fiancé grew up with them. I already see how people are so obsessed with a boxer. Marnie is goofy, clumsy, sassy and is always keeping me laughing and on my toes. Thank you Jenna!!

    We had a great experience with Balltown Boxers. Communication was great and the process was very easy. We love our Gus. He has a great personality and is growing like a weed.

    After we lost our black lab to cancer, we decided we wanted to give our remaining Boxer,Lola, a new buddy Boxer because they are truly the best breed ever. After researching, I found Balltown Boxers and Jenna was quick to respond and easy to talk to. She responded to my questions quickly and we were blessed with our brindle beauty, Ellie. She has a reddish coat, black face and is beautifully built but she quickly got lonely after losing our first boxer. Ellie was a little over a year old when I reached back out to Jenna about getting a sister for her: same parents, different litter. I was going to wait a year but as luck would have it, Ellie’s mom and dad were going to have their last litter and poof! Winnie was born. Jenna remembered I had reached out to her and she actually sought me out to let me know this was Fifi’s last litter and that there was one girl available. I jumped on it rather than waiting another year and now we have two of the sweetest girls ever! Ellie is so much happier and so are we. ❤️❤️❤️ Balltown Boxers has been awesome!

    Im so happy I decided to go with Jenna from Balltown Boxers. Every part of the process was easy. Jenna was great to work with. She sent me weekly pics and videos so I could see baby Kayas's progress. Kaya has been a great addition to my family. She bonded with 7 year old Marley and they quickly became best friends. It was certainly a pleasure doing business with Jenna and I plan to get another Boxer puppy from her sometime in the future.

    We had been looking to add another boxer to our family, which led us to Good Dog. We reached out to several, including Jenna, but she was so responsive to questions and sharing information even though we weren't quite ready when we first made contact. Once we were ready, I reached back out to her, and she was so forthcoming that she answered questions I didn't even knew we had. It was a quick decision for us to choose her, and she sent pictures and videos to keep us in the loop with all the puppies. She was so easy to work with, very responsive to messages and questions, and made me feel like I had known her forever. Picking up our puppy was a surprise for the kids and her and her family were so friendly to all of us. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a boxer.
