I'm Teri C., the breeder behind Black Rose Boxers located in Olympia, WA. Black Rose Boxers' focus is to work towards improving the breed through carefully planned litters with emphasis on health & temperament. We prove our dogs in the conformation/performance rings. Finding loving forever families is our priority. We offer support for the lifetime of the pups we produce.
Q. & A. with Teri
Why did you start breeding?
I obtained my first Rottweiler in 1999 after researching the breed for 5 years. I'd enjoyed Boxers through my mentor, eventually obtaining my first Boxer in 2017. She had health issues and was spayed. I purchased a fawn bitch from a reputable breeder through my mentor who'd been in the breed for over 40 years. She owns the sire of my current bitch, which will be the foundation of my Boxer program.
What makes your program special?
I'm a Registered Nurse and as an AKC breeder/exhibitor, I breed occasionally and for myself first, looking for my next quality boxer to go on with. My goal is to strive to produce better dogs than the ones I've started with. I fully health test all my boxers, listing their results on the O.F.A. website. My desire is to maintain great relationships with my puppy families offering lifetime support.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
