Meet the breeder
I'm Melissa K., the breeder behind MAKBox Euro Boxers located in Bowling Green, KY. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible breeders of European Boxers, breeding for health and temperament. We hope our puppies bring lots of joy and love into the hearts of their new families! We are here for lifelong support for all our pet families and puppies.
Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first boxer in 2009 and fell in love with the breed. My first 2 boxers had health issues, mostly genetic, that can be tested for before breeding so the pups are not impacted. After heartbreaking experiences, I educated myself on health testing and ethical breeding programs and am now proud to produce high quality, healthy pups!What makes your program special?
I have a small program in my home and all my dogs are family pets! I am committed not only to health testing but also providing enrichment and socialization to prepare your puppy to be as successful as possible in their development and new homes! I am also ALWAYS available to any of my puppy families for questions, recommendations, etc after they go home - 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.

Melissa is absolutely amazing! She was extremely thorough and details through the entire process, and always had an open door policy. She gave continuous updates, pics, and helpful tips along the way as we prepared to bring our sweet baby home. After our first night she checked in the next day and made sure we felt comfortable and knowledgeable about whatever we needed. I would definitely go back if I’m looking for another sweet angel! She takes great care of them while they are with her and they adapt well to new environments which is so helpful and necessary! If you’re looking for an honest, caring, experienced, extremely helpful and organized breeder, then don’t look any further. Melissa is the one! 😊 She also gave us the cutest goody bag to take home and it was FULL of stuff, definitely wasn’t expecting that which made it an even smoother experience and transition.
