Imperial Boxers
Meet the breeder
I'm JoAnn R., the breeder behind Imperial Boxers located in Royse City, TX. I am a purebred Boxer breeder who breeds for health and temperament. I specialize in conformation, performance, and family dogs. I have been breeding since 1982 and enjoy participating in AKC conformation events. I am an AKC Breeder of Merit. Adhering to the national club standard for all recommended health screening tests is paramount to our dogs’ wellbeing and my personal integrity. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next Boxer!
Q. & A. with JoAnn
Why did you start breeding?
A breeder I bought a Boxer from years ago became my mentor. Since then, it has been my mission to not only breed beautiful, quality puppies, but to promote responsible breeding to ensure that the Boxer line continues to move forward for generations to come.What makes your program special?
I am very dedicated to what I do and what I am trying to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want what's best for the Boxer line. I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, cuteness is guaranteed, and lots of love is always included.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 and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Imperial 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.
Brucellosis
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 Profile, 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).
