Boxer
About Brandye
Brandye is a all American Girl. She is very sweet, smart and semi calm. She loves to snuggle and just be a couch potato. The exception to this rule is when it is time to go on our daily 4 wheeler ride. Boy doses she come alive. Brandye has several accomplishments. I am so proud of the quality of puppies her and Sterling produced. Stack picture above was when she was younger at a IABCA dog show. She is ARVC Clear and a DM Carrier. She passed her Holter with almost perfect zeros. She is rated OFA good on Hips and passed her Thyroid screening as well.

Boxer
About "Sterling"
Sterling is a 100 percent European Boxer. His Sire was imported from Serbia. He loves to play ball and is extremely calm. I adore this big boy. He is so sweet and not hyper. His heavy bone and deep chest attribute to his Euro lineage. We have accumulated many Champion Titles in several different organizations. He is DM and ARVC Clear. He is rated Good with OFA on hips and passed his Thyroid and Echo-cardiogram test as well.

Elevated Boxers reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Boxers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel, 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).

Doddie, is the most thoughtful and caring person. We were a little apprehensive had never used this app before, but she made the process so easy and we met in person and she was just as kind in person as she was by text. We picked up Jake and she had also brought the father with her so that we could meet him as well. Jake's father was so well behaved we knew we had made a great decision. You could tell that she was compassionate and caring about her boxers, didn't just breed to make money, she did it because she loves her dogs. Jake is a blessing he is the best puppy, so yes we thank you for making the process so incredibly easy.
