Q. & A. with Lauri
Why did you start breeding?
I have a passion for excellence and healthy family pets. I love Boxers so much that I not only want to share it with others, but strive to better the breed overall. Many of my dogs have become exceptional show prospects and champions, but all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends!
What makes your program special?
In the very few litters that I have bred, and certainly with a little luck and a lot of passion for the breed, I have produced Multiple Best In Show Winners, Multiple Specialty Winners, the 2016 National Winners Dog, and the 2018 National Specialty Select Dog. I strive to breed healthy and happy Boxers that conform as close to the American Boxer Club Standard as possible.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn, brindle, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
