Meet the breeder

I'm Tamarind T., the breeder behind Truax Farms located in Hopkins, MI. Every litter is thoughtfully planned with the goal of preserving everything we love about the Boxer: outstanding health, correct structure, exceptional temperament, and unwavering loyalty. Our dogs are cherished members of our family, and every puppy is raised with lots of love and care.

Q. & A. with Tamarind

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My passion for breeding Boxers began with my deep love for the breed. Their loyalty, intelligence, playful nature, and unwavering devotion to their families inspired me to become more than just an owner—I wanted to help preserve and improve everything that makes a Boxer special.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are cherished members of our family. Through early socialization, daily enrichment, and hands-on care, we give each puppy the strongest possible start in life. We believe responsible breeding is about producing confident, healthy companions that will bring joy to their families for years to come. It is a lifelong commitment to our dogs, our puppy families, and the future of the breed.

  • 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.
