Meet the breeder
I'm Valerie K., the breeder behind KCF Boxers located in West Salem, OH.
Q. & A. with Valerie
Why did you start breeding?
My first boxer came from a very irresistible back yard breeder which resulted in her having severe hip dysplasia and sadly she led a painful life from the beginning. I’m determined to produce happy, healthy dogs who will live full, pain free lives.What makes your program special?
We just do the best we can to insure our program is done responsibly and our pups are socialized and ready to be someone’s forever best friend.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

My husband and I were interested in adding a puppy to our family and decided to give the Good Dog app a try. We found a few matches near us, including KCF Boxers. I reached out to Valerie to inquire about her litter and from the beginning her responses to me made me feel comfortable about her as a breeder. It was a big decision, but the safety provided by using Good Dog and Valerie’s interactions with us sealed the deal. We brought our boy home a few days ago and we couldn’t be happier.

What a great experience it was to work with Valerie, my wife and I have been looking for a new breeder for a few years and when the time came to add another puppy to the family I searched everywhere and with no luck tried the good dog app. I was a little skeptical at first as she is in Ohio and I’m in mass so I couldn’t just take a drive to see the puppies. I sent her a message and ask to talk on the phone. We spoke that night and an instant friendship was formed. We talked like we knew each other for a while. She answered every question my wife and I had and didn’t sugar coat anything. She was upfront and helped us through the whole process as we always had a local breeder. We actually talked just about every day and sent pictures and videos back and forth of her litter and of the boxers we have at home. We talked the day before pick up and had everything set up and ready to go and let me tell you it was well worth the 22 hours on the road driving. When we arrived we finally got to meet in person and put a face to the name. Her husband don is a super nice guy as well and we got to spent time talking and meeting the parents of our little Loki. What beautiful dogs they are. Valerie and don thank you so much for everything!! We can’t wait to see the next litter!! Sincerely your new friends Jason and Crystal. PS. Loki is fitting in very well and is living up to his name.

We are a “boxer family!” I fell in love with the breed over 25 years ago with our first. We’ve had several throughout the years..all colors shapes and sizes, but they all have the same playful, loving personality. They just adore their “people” as much as we adore them! I just recently started looking through the Good Dog site which was recommended by our vet. Our current boxer lost his confidant several years ago to the dreaded ARVC. If you’re familiar with the breed, you know they grow lonely without a snuggle pal. After our loss, our hearts finally opened to the idea of finding our current boxer a friend. I just happened to see KCF Boxers had one black lil beauty available (we’ve never had a sealed boxer) and I decided to write a message to Val. I did not expect her to respond as quickly as she did! She was very responsive and such a pleasure to work with. I know breeders are selective in who they choose for their pups. In that same thought, I’m very selective in who I choose to adopt from. I loved knowing mom and dad are “family” and live within Val’s home. I learned that Val is very “hands on” interacting with and protective of her litters. Val would send messages pics & videos. It was lovely to feel as if I was chatting with a friend. When we finally got to meet our new addition, it felt like I was visiting family! Val was so thorough from start to finish! I cannot recommend KCF Boxers enough!! It’s only been a week that our lil Marcella has been a part of our family, but we are all so in love with her!
